We need the right people at the right place to do so. People who turn visions into reality - who think outside the box and promote innovation. People who are ready to push the envelope. Are you ready?

Qualification

Master degree Students in Information Science, Telecommunication, Mechatronics, Electronics, Computer Science or equivalent.

Tasks

This master’s thesis presents the development of a Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) cockpit system using open-source tools and a Linux-based embedded platform, integrated with dSPACE simulation environments to test automotive HMI and ADAS functions. The system captures realistic driver inputs (steering, throttle, brake, gear) and connects them in real time to a dSPACE HIL setup, enabling closed-loop simulation of vehicle systems and driver behavior. Key focus areas include accurate emulation of cockpit components, real-time data exchange, and a Linux GUI for feedback and HMI prototyping. The project also tackles integration, timing synchronization, and interface standardization challenges. By combining open-source development with dSPACE simulation, this research provides a scalable, cost-effective solution for human-centered ADAS and HMI testing, supporting safer and more intuitive vehicle design.

What we offer

• Shape the mobility of tomorrow: Work on innovative and cutting-edge challenges.
• Work flexible: Our flexible model of scheduling work, our attractive remote-work-model and our office daycare (site-dependent) center will allow you to find a perfect balance between your personal and professional life.
• Expand your horizons: Not only will working on new technologies every day help you improve yourself, but our continuing education program will also help you stay up to date at all times.
