Machine learning methods are used in a wide variety of application fields. The IMMS is researching the energy-efficient implementation of AI methods on embedded systems.
The goal of this work is to investigate the implementation of various ML algorithms on resource-limited systems (microcontrollers). The goal is to evaluate the system's energy consumption and required computing power.

WHAT TO DO:

• Training and research
• Implementation of selected ML algorithms
• Measurement and evaluation of energy consumption and system performance

WHAT YOU BRING WITH YOU:

• C / C++ knowledge
• Basics of signal processing
• Microcontroller programming

AND THAT'S US:
At IMMS, we strengthen companies with application-oriented research and development in microelectronics, systems engineering, and mechatronics, and we transfer the results of basic research into applications. We support companies in launching internationally successful innovations for health, the environment, and industry, accompanying them from feasibility studies to series production.

WE ARE EXCITED TO HEAR YOU!
We would be delighted if you would like to work with us.
Please apply only once – for your favorite topic or the one that most closely matches your interests. This way, we can process your application as quickly as possible and get back to you. If you are interested in many topics, please state this in your cover letter. If our current suggestions don't suit you, please send us a request with your preferred topic.

WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER:

• an attractive job in a modern, well-equipped and industry-oriented research institute
• Work directly at the interface between university and industry
• Working in a flexible and creative team and on innovative, challenging topics

For the advertised positions and the existing working conditions, applications are welcome regardless of gender and/or any physical disabilities. We promote equal opportunities for women and men. We particularly encourage women to apply. Because women are underrepresented at IMMS, they will be given priority in cases of equal suitability, qualifications, and professional performance.
