Join the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! With the expertise and curiosity of our approximately 12,000 employees from 100 nations, as well as our unique infrastructure, we offer an exciting and inspiring working environment. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to solving global challenges. Would you like to tackle this major task for the future together with us? Then you belong with us!
The DLR Institute of Space Research in Berlin-Adlershof is a world-leading centre of excellence for optical sensor systems and their application in planetary research, Earth observation and security. In this way, we expand humanity’s understanding of the origin and evolution of our planetary system and find solutions to protect life on Earth. With around 300 staff members, we cover the entire development chain, from the initial research idea through to the design, construction and verification of instruments, their operational use, and on to the processing, scientific analysis and archiving of the data obtained. We are partners to universities, research institutions, industry, public authorities and policy-makers, and work closely with them.
What to expect
As a research assistant in our ‘Computational Camera and Sensing Systems’ department, you will be part of an experienced, dynamic team working on sensor-based artificial intelligence, computational sensing techniques and algorithms, and the modelling of the optical measurement systems built at the institute.
Our department plays a key role in the development of state-of-the-art methods in the field of computational sensing systems. Furthermore, through the simulation and validation of data, we make an important contribution to the development cycle of digital systems.
In this role, we need you to work alongside other colleagues on our projects. Following an induction period, you will be given responsibility for projects.
Your tasks
- Co-development, implementation and testing of new signal processing methods using artificial intelligence
- Documenting your comments in your source code
- Working on projects as part of a team
- Supervising students and contributing to publications and academic presentations
- Presenting your findings at international conferences
Your profile
- completed academic degree (Master’s/Diploma) in engineering (e.g. Computer Science, Communications Engineering) or the natural sciences (e.g. Physics), or Mathematics, or other degree programmes relevant to the role
- Experience with algorithms for signal processing, optimisation and compressed sensing
- Experience in the field of communications
- Experience with artificial intelligence methods and systems (deep learning and algorithm unfolding)
- Experience working with the programming languages MATLAB, Python and PyTorch/TensorFlow
- Very good command of spoken and written English and German
Remuneration is up to the German TVöD 13 depending on qualifications and assigned tasks.
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!
