What you can expect

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), such as the European Galileo system, enable precise positioning and navigation on Earth. Satellite-based navigation has become indispensable in many areas, e.g. in aviation and shipping, emergency call systems, logistics networks, but also in the private sector.

In the "Signal and Performance Monitoring" project, we are developing a comprehensive software system for performance analysis and status monitoring in order to continuously monitor the reliability and quality of GNSS. Our work focuses on building automated solutions to collect and store receiver data from many different data sources and formats in a standardised, high-performance database. For this purpose, we develop a modern C++ library with a Python connection for the efficient processing of data and the calculation of GNSS algorithms. Our freely available web tool gnss-monitoring.dlr.de offers interactive visualisations of basic performance indicators for all four global systems.

 

Your tasks

  • Develop scientific visualisations of satellite navigation data in 2D and 3D for a React web app using TypeScript or web dashboard tools such as Grafana
  • Implementation of GNSS related algorithms
  • Extension of software functions for our real-time monitoring system

 

Your Profil

  • ongoing Bachelor´s or Master´s degree in computer science, computer engineering or a similar subject
  • Interest in software development at a research institute
  • Basic programming experience
  • Knowledge of Python, C++ or web technologies are an advantage but not required
  • Fluent in written and spoken English and/or German

 

The remuneration depends on the qualification and assignment of tasks in the Bachelor´s degree program, salary group 3 TVöD Bund and in the Master´s degree program, salary gropu 5 TVöD Bund.

 

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
