    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • At the DLR Institute of Transportation Systems, we conduct research into technologies for the intermodal connected and automated transport of the future on road and rail.
    • To achieve this, we are working in interdisciplinary teams with a total of 250 scientists on the development of innovative operating concepts and methods.
    • Our goal is to ensure climate-neutral and sustainable mobility in cities and regions.
    • Digitalization and automation aimed at achieving low-emission transport define our institute's research activities in the field of road traffic.
    • The connectivity of vehicles with infrastructure opens up new opportunities for traffic optimization and provides novel technological solutions for controlling automated vehicles and infrastructure systems.
    • Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates all road users into the overall transport ecosystem.
    • Innovative operational concepts for passenger and freight fleets will make the management of traffic networks more sustainable and efficient.
    • Through the "Testfeld Niedersachsen" (Lower Saxony Test Field) and the "Anwendungsplattform Intelligente Mobilität" (AIM - Application Platform for Intelligent Mobility), we possess a technology platform spanning highways, urban streets, and rural roads unique on an international scale for testing highly automated and connected vehicles.
    • Our automated, cooperative research vehicles - along with ADORe®, the open-source automation software we initiated - enable the testing of novel approaches both on dedicated test grounds and in real-world traffic environments.
    • Your Mission: Drive the advancement of autonomous driving!
    • You will develop and test innovative cooperative approaches for autonomous vehicles leveraging your expertise in decision-making, maneuver and trajectory planning, and vehicle control.
    • In doing so, you will apply your profound knowledge of C++ and Artificial Intelligence directly within exciting research projects (at both national and European levels).
    • Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to help shape new research projects and to guide them through to completion, should they receive funding.
