Future. Discover. Together.

The Wireless Communications and Networks department of the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute participates in the development of new technologies for the next generation wireless communication systems. The Signal and Information Processing (SIP) group participates in national and international research projects, addressing relevant topics in the fields of signal processing for mobile communications and radar systems. We are looking for motivated student assistants to participate in the development of signal processing algorithms for multi-antenna systems for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). This role offers an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in advanced signal processing and waveform design, while contributing to cutting-edge research in ISAC systems. For highly-motivated students, this work can provide an opportunity to develop a BSc/MSc thesis. Be a part of our team and come on a journey of research and innovation!

What you will do

• Use an existing simulator to analyze the performance of a beampattern synthesis and waveform design method developed in our group

• Asses the performance for various propagation scenarios

• Extend the simulator to support arbitrary antenna array geometries

• Modify the simulator to take the quantization effects in digital-to-analog converters (DACs) into account

What you bring to the table

• Full-time student status at a German university with good grades, in the fields of electrical engineering, communications engineering, or similar

• Interest in radar and communication signal processing

• Mathematical maturity with strong grasp of linear algebra and statistics

• Familiarity with antenna array signal processing methods

• Proficiency in Python programming

• Ability to understand and implement algorithms from academic papers

Furthermore, desirable are:

• Good understanding of convex optimization methods

What you can expect

• Fascinating challenges in a scientific and entrepreneurial setting

• Attractive salary

• Modern  and excellently equipped workspace in central location

• Great and cooperative working atmosphere in an international team

• Opportunities to write a master's or bachelors thesis

• Flexible working hours

• Opportunities to work from home

The position is initially limited to 12 months. An extension is explicitly desired.

The monthly working time is 80 hours. This position is also available 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. 

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.
