Beschreibung

Weitere Informationen:

The position is to be filled at the earliest possible date and offered for a fixed term of initially 2 years.

The option to extend the contract for additional 3 years is available and desirable.

The fixed-term employment is possible as it constitutes one of the fixed-term options of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (German Act on Fixed-term Scientific Contracts).

This is a full-time position.
The salary is based on the German public service salary scale (TV-L).
The position corresponds to a pay grade of EG 13 TV-L.

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:

Driverless mobility, which is intended in many sectors in the near future, requires robust navigation algorithms. These calculate the position, speed and orientation essential for vehicle control.

In many environments (inner city, forest, etc.) this can be very challenging, as the reception of signals from the GPS and Galileo positioning systems is severely limited.

As part of a research project, a novel localization system is being developed in cooperation with joint partners from industry and research.

In addition to using GPS and Galileo, LTE signals are also being integrated for localization.

Another novelty is the development of a flying pseudolite, which works as an additional navigation satellite in urban canyons and thus improves localization with only a few visible satellites.

This will enable the use of high autonomy functions in these environments.

You will be part of the "Navigation" group at the Institute of Automatic Control and will be responsible within the project for the development of novel navigation algorithms for robust determination of vehicle position, speed and orientation.

In doing so, you will gain comprehensive expertise in the area of robust sensor fusion for autonomous driving functions. 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.
