WHY JOIN US?

Nowadays, it is urgent to adopt sustainable consumption and production practices that are underscored by prominent initiatives as the European Union Sustainable Development Strategy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Current linear economy model, based on take-make-dispose approach, needs a transition towards a circular economy (CE) model that aligns with Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) and EcoDesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR).

The introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), a key element of the ESPR, presents an opportunity to enhance traceability, offering stakeholders comprehensive information about a product's life cycle, materials, and environmental impact.

The ESPR establishes the Digital Product Passport (DPP) as the system to access on a need-to-know basis information essential to support sustainable production and enable the transition to circular economy, boosting material and energy efficiency, extending product lifetime and optimizing product design, manufacturing, use and end of life handling.

WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?

In this context, the CEA LIST’s LSEA lab offers a full-time research engineer position in the cross-cutting fields of Software Engineering and Digital Product Passports (DPP) to strengthen and diversify his team skills.

Your missions will consist of:

• Conducting a state of the art study on existing architectures for the Digital Product Passport system.
• Specifying all the requirements coming from the stakeholders of the Horizon Europe projects Cirpass-2 and Cir4Fun
• Specifying the information model of the generic DPP, then of domain specific DPPs (furniture, batteries, etc)
• Contributing to the  specification of the DPP system architecture
• Contribute to the developement of a toolset for an easy implementation of the DPP by economic operators and DPP service providers
• Promoting these assets through scientific publications

You will contribute to projects with academic and industrial partners of the LSEA, as well as be involved in French and European collaborative research projects, particularly in the fields of circular economy and digital product passports.
