What To Expect

Are you ready to immerse yourself in a world where your passion for cutting-edge technology meets the urgent need to protect our maritime world? The Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructure is on a mission and we are looking for brilliant minds like you to join us!

Become part of a team dedicated to developing technologies to protect the maritime domain. We work hard to develop new concepts that keep everything from harbours to offshore wind farms secure. As a member of our Maritime Security Technologies team, you can explore innovative solutions that matter to everyone.

How would you like to work with state-of-the-art underwater sensors and acoustic systems? Here you will design algorithms that process acoustic signals, simulate underwater sound channels for systems such as active sonars and additionally carry out innovative work for the future of maritime security with exciting experimental test setups.

Results from this work will also be integrated into a maritime situational awareness system, ensuring important results are easily available to end users - a major step forward in maritime security.

Perhaps you are also thinking about performing PhD studies? At DLR we also support you on your academic path!

Your tasks

• Development of algorithms for signal processing and evaluation of data from acoustic systems (e.g. active and passive sonars).
• Extension and improvement of an existing simulation environment for sonar signal processing.
• Experimental tests of developed algorithms using available acoustic systems, including validation through comparison with simulated results.
• Integration of your work into our maritime situational awareness system.

Your profile

• Completed scientific university degree (university diploma or Master's degree) in an engineering field (e.g. electrical engineering), a scientific field (e.g. physics) or other degree programs relevant to the job.
• Programming skills, experience in digital signal processing and working with high-tech instruments.
• Knowledge and experience in acoustics, sonar, radar or expertise in similar areas.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English.

Remuneration is up to the German TVöD 13 depending on qualifications and assigned tasks.
