Student Assistent Digital Signal Processing for High-Speed Signal Generation

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 75 institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 32 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

Future. Discover. Together. 

As a research institution based in Berlin, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute creates innovations for the digital society of the future and is a global leader in the field of optical data transmission. We offer the coveted combination of a scientific environment and insights into an industry-oriented way of working. In the area of high-speed signal generation, we are researching novel concepts for generating analog signals with bandwidths beyond 100 GHz, in order to keep up with the rapidly increasing global data traffic in the future. This challenging task requires not only novel hardware, but also new approaches in digital signal processing and behavioral modeling of the systems. To support the work on these topics, we are looking for a student employee with the following profile. 

Be a part of our team and come on a journey of research and innovation!

 

Be part of change

  • Implementation of algorithms for signal processing using Matlab and Python
  • System-level behavioral modeling of components for ultra-broadband signal generation in Matlab and Python
  • Simulative and experimental evaluation of the algorithms and comparison with conventional processing methods

 

What you contribute

  • Full-time student at a university in Berlin, preferably in the field of electrical or computer engineering, mathematics, physics
  • Profound knowledge in the field of digital signal processing
  • Theoretical and practical knowledge regarding message transmission systems
  • Extensive experience with Python, Matlab and other programming languages
  • Good communication skills (German and English)
  • Proactive and self-reliant working style

 

What we offer

  • Interesting challenges in a scientific and industrially shaped field
  • Flexible working hours
  • Opportunities to write a master`s or bachelor`s thesis
  • Scope margin for the tasks to be implemented

 

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

 

The monthly working time is 80 hours. 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.
