The Fraunhofer-Gesell­schaft (www.fraunhofer.com) cur­rently oper­ates 76 insti­tutes and research insti­tu­tions throughout Ger­many and is the world’s lead­ing applied research organ­iz­a­tion. Around 30 000 employ­ees work with an annual research budget of 2.9 bil­lion euros.

Our Com­mu­nic­a­tions Sys­tems divi­sion devel­ops both mes­saging sys­tems and meth­ods as well as (neur­omorphic) hard­ware for pro­cessing sig­nals on embed­ded devices at the edge that are par­tic­u­larly energy effi­cient by using meth­ods from AI. Our goal is to help shape the next gen­er­a­tion of intel­li­gent com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tems - to this end, we suc­cess­fully invest­ig­ate, develop, and test wave­forms, algorithms, archi­tec­tures, and imple­ment­a­tions that enable us to make novel applic­a­tions work in the real world.

What you will do
You will fur­ther develop the meth­od­o­logy and applic­a­tion of Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence in sig­nal pro­cessing sys­tems (among oth­ers in the con­text of our large-scale pro­ject Digital Sig­nal Pro­cessing with AI Meth­ods DSAI). For this pur­pose, you will develop meth­ods to lead con­ven­tional com­mu­nic­a­tions tech­no­logy to higher per­form­ance, band­width, and hard­ware effi­ciency in real-world applic­a­tions by using AI con­cepts such as Deep Learn­ing with LSTMs. Like­wise, you will develop con­cepts for highly reli­able next-gen­er­a­tion mobile radio sys­tems and be involved in their design, sim­u­la­tion, imple­ment­a­tion, and test­ing.

• Com­pleted sci­entific uni­versity stud­ies in a STEM sub­ject. A doc­toral degree is an advant­age.
• Know­ledge in com­mu­nic­a­tions engin­eer­ing (PHY/MAC layer) as well as basic know­ledge in Deep

Learn­ing.

• Pro­gram­ming skills, prefer­ably in Python, Julia, Mat­lab or C/C++.
• Exper­i­ence with hard­ware related pro­gram­ming and Open RAN is an advant­age
• Very good Eng­lish and Good Ger­man or will­ing­ness to learn Ger­man.
• Basic exper­i­ence in pro­ject man­age­ment is an advant­age

• By work­ing on ver­sat­ile pro­jects with a high prac­tical rel­ev­ance, you can act­ively shape the

tech­no­logy of tomor­row. We offer you an open and col­legial envir­on­ment as well as indi­vidual
devel­op­ment tailored to your needs through a com­pre­hens­ive range of fur­ther qual­i­fic­a­tions. We
sup­port your work-life bal­ance through flex­ible work­ing hours as well as vari­ous sup­port offers for
the com­pat­ib­il­ity of private and pro­fes­sional life.

• Involve­ment in the devel­op­ment of novel meth­ods of AI in com­mu­nic­a­tions engin­eer­ing and

imple­ment­a­tion in prac­tice.

• Option­ally and with appro­pri­ate suit­ab­il­ity there is the pos­sib­il­ity of doc­toral stud­ies

The weekly work­ing time is 39 hours. The con­tract is ini­tially lim­ited to two years with the pos­i­bil­lity of exten­sion. The pos­i­tion can also be filled on a part-time basis. We value and pro­mote the diversity of our employ­ees' skills and there­fore wel­come all applic­a­tions - regard­less of age, gender, nation­al­ity, eth­nic and social ori­gin, reli­gion, ideo­logy, dis­ab­il­ity, sexual ori­ent­a­tion and iden­tity. Severely dis­abled per­sons are given pref­er­ence in the event of equal suit­ab­il­ity. Appoint­ment, remu­ner­a­tion and social secur­ity bene­fits based on the pub­lic-sec­tor col­lect­ive wage agree­ment (TVöD). Addi­tion­ally Fraunhofer may grant per­form­ance-based vari­able remu­ner­a­tion com­pon­ents.

With its focus on devel­op­ing key tech­no­lo­gies that are vital for the future and enabling the com­mer­cial util­iz­a­tion of this work by busi­ness and industry, Fraunhofer plays a cent­ral role in the innov­a­tion pro­cess. As a pion­eer and cata­lyst for ground­break­ing devel­op­ments and sci­entific excel­lence, Fraunhofer helps shape soci­ety now and in the future.
