After all, robots are built to do something - and in order for them to know what to do and how, they need a certain amount of intelligence. Every robot we work with should solve its tasks as efficiently and purposefully as possible. To this end, the department is working on various key AI topics.

  • Further development and maintenance of a web-based robot control interface implemented in Vue.js
  • Implementation of real-time communication with robotic systems via WebSockets
  • Design and improvement of user interfaces for robot monitoring and control
  • Support in the improvement of the current teleoperation setup
  • Testing and validation of software directly on robotic systems

 

Your profil

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, robotics, engineeringor a similar area
  • Good knowledge of JavaScript and Vue.js, or strong willingness to learn
  • Experience in AI-assistant based GUI development
  • Interest in designing and developing intuitive interfaces for robotic applications
  • Independent and structured working style

 

Remuneration is based on qualifications and classification up to pay group 5 TVöD.

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!
