Are you ready to redefine the future of industrial software? Join us as a PhD candidate in Zero Maintenance Software at Erlangen or Munich, and embark on a pioneering project to develop autonomous, self-repairing systems that drastically reduce human maintenance efforts.

 

You'll make an impact by

• Developing a conceptual framework for autonomous software re-engineering that enables zero-maintenance capabilities in industrial software systems
• Subsequently, you will design and implement prototype mechanisms that demonstrate the feasibility of self-recreating software, drastically reducing human intervention in maintenance tasks
• Throughout your research, you will engage in continuous learning from operational events to enhance the software's ability to autonomously adapt and optimize its performance without human input
• Additionally, you will explore and integrate advanced AI techniques such as generative models and reinforcement learning to support autonomous decision-making processes within the software systems
• You are expected to publish your findings in reputable scientific journals and present them at international conferences, contributing to the academic community and advancing the field of autonomous systems in software engineering

 

This is how you'll win us over

• Education: You are currently pursuing a Master's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field
• Experience and Skills:
• Profound understanding of software engineering principles, programming languages, and compiler design
• Strong background in Artificial Intelligence, particularly in generative AI, machine learning, and autonomous systems
• Proficient in programming languages such as Python and C++, with experience in AI/ML frameworks
• Ways of Working: Exceptional analytical and abstract thinking abilities, coupled with problem-solving skills and a passion for advancing software autonomy
• Languages: Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

 

You are much more than your qualifications, and we believe in the potential of every single candidate. We look forward to getting to know you!

Your individual personality and perspective are important to us. We create a working environment that reflects the diversity of society and support you in your personal and professional development.
