    In this role, you will design agentic AI systems for software lifecycles in critical domains, evaluate their integration, and address challenges in the context of aerospace and defense.

    Your role in the team

    • The Department of Intelligent and Distributed Systems researches methods to make complex technical processes and systems - from software development to automated workflows and AI-supported analysis - comprehensible, automatable, and interactively experiencable.
    • The Sustainable Software Engineering research group provides practical and hands-on support to researchers in the sustainable development of research software, creates research infrastructure that enables researchers to conduct cutting-edge research, and investigates how new technologies can be used to achieve these goals.
    • You enable researchers to securely and efficiently utilize and integrate agent-based AI systems throughout the entire software lifecycle (from design to operation) within their research domains of space, aviation, transportation, energy, security, and defense, considering the associated constraints.
    • You work independently on the specified tasks and coordinate with other team members and the group management.
    • We give you the freedom and the opportunity to pursue your own ideas and to advance new research topics.
    • We offer a challenging work environment where family-friendliness and your health are top priorities.
    • You analyze the boundary conditions of the domains spaceflight, aviation, transportation, energy, security, and defense for the operation of AI applications.
    • You conceptualize, evaluate, and implement agent-based AI systems for integration into toolchains used throughout the software lifecycle (design, development, testing, operation, maintenance).
    • You address the particular challenges of safety-critical systems in spaceflight, aviation, transportation, energy, security, and defense when deploying agentic AI systems, and derive appropriate regulations and recommendations.
    • You bring your own research interests and ideas.
    • You submit applications for the acquisition of third-party funded projects and secure industry contracts.
