The selection of candidates will be based on a merit evaluation, considering academic background, relevant experience, and overall suitability for the project. The final score will be calculated on a scale of 0 to 100, based on three weighted criteria: A) Academic Qualifications; B) Relevant Experience and Technical Skills, and C) Motivation and Interview Performance. 

A) Under Academic Qualifications, emphasis will be placed on the relevance and final classification of the candidate’s academic degrees. An increase of up to 10 points may be applied as function of their scientific background in areas such as Electromechanical Engineering, and related fields. 

B) Relevant Experience and Technical Skills will assess prior experience in the domain of communication systems, monitoring system technologies, computer vision and AI and robotic systems. 

C) Motivation and Interview Performance will consider the quality and alignment of the motivation letter with the project’s objectives, as well as the candidate’s clarity, technical understanding, and communication skills demonstrated during the interview. 

The top 3 candidates in items A and B will be admitted to the interview (C). The final score will be calculated using the formula: Final Score = (A, Academic Qualifications × 0.4) + (B, Relevant Experience × 0.4) + (C, Interview Performance × 0.2).

Candidates must obtain a minimum score of 50 to be considered eligible. In the case of a tie, preference will be given to the candidate with the highest score in Relevant Experience and Technical Skills (B).
