Job Summary
In this job, you develop research software for the image-based localization of mobile sensor platforms using modern technologies like computer vision and machine learning with Python or C++.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Research Software Engineer (all genders), you work at the intersection of scientific research and professional software development.
- They design, develop, and evaluate research software for image-based localization of mobile sensor platforms.
- The focus of the procedures lies in the field of computer vision and machine learning – particularly in localization using reference data and onboard image sensors.
- Particularly relevant are learning-based methods using modern frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow), image-based 3D reconstruction methods, and modern rendering libraries.
- Development and operation of software components in containerized environments (e.g., Docker) for reproducible experiments as well as for easy transferability to different target platforms.
- Integration of the developed procedures into real sensor platforms and demonstrators.
- Deployment and optimization of algorithms on edge platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) and real-time controllers (e.g., Pixhawk hardware and PX4 autopilot).
- Ensuring code quality, reproducibility, and sustainable usability.
- Collaboration with other research associates and external project partners.
- Participation in the integration into overall systems.
- Conducting demonstrations and field trials.
- Preparation of project reports.

What we offer
- A diverse role at the intersection of science and practice – with direct relevance to future technologies and socially significant applications.
- Freedom to develop and the opportunity to actively contribute your own ideas and projects.
- Excellent technical equipment and optimal working conditions.
- Attractive conditions for work-life balance (e.g., flexible working hours within a flexitime model, individual home-office arrangements).
- Individual career paths through training and development opportunities (e.g., the Förder- und Entwicklungsprogramm »Fraunhofer TALENTA« for female scientists and female leaders).
- Free parking spaces and a high-performance charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
- A canteen as well as nearby shopping facilities.
- A very good connection to public transport and a subsidy for the Deutschlandticket.
- The weekly working hours amount to 39 hours.
- The position can also be filled on a part-time basis.
- The position is initially limited to 2 years.
- An extension is being sought.
- Employment, compensation, and social benefits are based on the collective agreement for the public service (TVöD).
- Additionally, Fraunhofer may grant performance- and success-based variable compensation components.
