Unser Profil:

Ihr Profil:

You have completed a university degree program (master's or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and automation engineering or computer science with a focus on control engineering and achieved very good results.

You have a strong foundation in the field of control and automation engineering and are eager to further develop your knowledge in this area.

Being involved in projects and teaching activities is an attractive challenge for you.

Ideally, you have already gained programming experience in Matlab/Simulink, Python, C++ or similar in a control engineering context. Technical experience with GNSS-based localization is desirable but not mandatory.

You are able to develop novel solutions for challenging technical problems in a team and you speak fluent German or English.

Ihre Aufgaben:

As part of the VERA research project, a virtual test field for autonomous shipping is being developed.

The goal of the test field is the development and realistic testing of highly efficient and innovative algorithms for autonomous shipping.

Isolated real test fields are not feasible due to the size of, e.g., inland vessels. Virtual test fields allow methods to be developed iteratively and cost-effectively. Thus, they make a decisive contribution to the modernization of inland shipping.

The simulation of rarely occurring events, which in reality are associated with high risks and consequential costs, is important, especially for safety-critical functions.

For a complete representation of reality, simulators must be developed for all sensors involved in navigation and control of vessels.

This allows not only the ship control to be tested in the simulator, but also the navigation algorithms.

At the Institute of Automatic Control you will be part of the "Navigation" group and will be responsible for the development of the whole simulator within the project.

With regard to the methodology, you will be able to set your own personal priorities based on existing approaches.

In doing so, you will be supported at IRT by scientists with many years of experience in navigation projects and with diverse methodological expertise.

You will share your scientific results with the community at international conferences and in scientific journals. For these work topics, we are looking for a dedicated employee as soon as possible.
