Software and electronics developer for the development of autonomous systems (f/d/x/m)

The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research is a research facility supported by the Federal Republic of Germany, the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and the Länder of Brandenburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony with around 1,400 employees. In a broad multidisciplinary approach, we conduct polar and marine research and, in conjunction with numerous university and non-university research institutions, make an important contribution to global environmental, earth system and paleoclimate research. Software and Electronics Developer:in for the Development of Autonomous Systems (w/d/x/m) Background The HGF-MPG bridge group Tiefseeökologie und -technologie in Bremerhaven is looking for:n Software- und Elektronik-Developer:in for the development of autonomous systems for scientific measurement tasks in the ocean. The work will be carried out within the framework of the HiAOOS (High Arctic Ocean Observing System) project funded by the EU and its successor project HiAOOS-2. Within these projects, different marine observation technologies are developed, implemented and validated to enable data collection in an ice-covered ocean. Among other things, a new generation of data transmission systems anchored to the deep sea floor is to be developed with which high-resolution environmental data can be brought to the surface from large water depths. In addition, technologies are to be developed to transfer this data via a satellite link to the home laboratory in order to be able to provide real-time data to the scientist.

Close cooperation with scientists:inside and engineer:inside Support for the development and optimization of autonomous measuring systems in the field of electronics and software Concept creation for new systems Design of suitable electronic circuits Selection of components for performing control tasks and recording measurement values Development and implementation of the required software Hardware-related or device-specific programming Development of communication and user interface software Own-responsible implementation of device tests during expedition preparation (e.g. multi-day test campaigns) Participation in the new development of instruments Development of software modules for post-processing of measurement data (correction algorithms, data processing)
