Über diesen Job
The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is Austria’s largest Research and Technology Organisation (RTO). We aim to transform scientific excellence into innovation with impact. Together with our partners, we develop technologies and solutions for a sustainable, resilient, and digitalized future, strengthening Europe’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty. Our international teams combine cutting-edge research with strong implementation expertise to create measurable value for industry and society.
Our Center for Digital Safety and Security is looking for new Ingenious Partners for our location in Vienna (Giefinggasse, 1210). In the Reliable Wireless Communication and Sensing research team, we develop advanced physical layer 6G technologies. As a member of a growing team, you will perform applied research with European scientific and industrial partners and be involved in the successful execution of multiple European research projects.
Applied Research Engineer (f/m/d) for 6G Wireless Communication (ISAC)
CENTER FOR DIGITAL SAFETY & SECURITY
- You will contribute to the development of numerical signal processing algorithms for mobile 5G/6G Integrated Sensing & Communication (ISAC) scenarios.
- You will work on projects combining numerical simulations and empirical measurements using a software-defined radio (SDR) testbed, with applications across radio frequency (RF), fiber-optic, and quantum sensing technologies.
- You will be involved in the integration, testing, and validation of algorithms and state-of-the-art software for wireless communication systems.
- You will be part of an international research team involved in European projects, contributing to engineering, technology development and prototyping in a field with an enormous range of applications, from construction, logistics, aviation and railways to agriculture, robotics and defence.
Your qualifications as an Ingenious Partner:
- Completed technical studies (Master’s degree or PhD) related to Telecommunications, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
- AI/ML and numerical simulation software development (MATLAB or Python) and real-time FPGA programming.
- High level of commitment and ability to work in a team
- Good language skills in English (spoken & written). German language skills are an advantage.
- Experience in at least one of the following profiles:
- (1) Multi-static MIMO UAV sensing
- (2) Experimental software defined radio (SDR) control of quantum sensing with NV centers
- (3) Distributed localisation in wireless networks
- (4) Positioning and sensing in 5G/6G networks
Please describe in the cover letter how your CV and expertise match with at least one of the technological areas above, explicitly referring to the points (1) - (4). Applications that do not address this point may not be considered further.
What to expect:
- The minimum gross annual salary on a full-time basis (38,5 h / week) according to the collective agreement is EUR 56.784,--. The actual salary will be determined individually, based on your level of education and experience.
- Highlights of our employee benefits include a canteen and meal allowance, organic coffee, tea and fruit baskets, preventive healthcare benefits and company doctor, pension fund, additional days off for various life events, family benefits (including two weeks of paid paternity leave "Papa-Weeks” and leisure subsidies), voucher programme, sports, cultural and socialising events and many more, as well as flexitime models (incl. up to 50% home office), travel support for conferences and networking, and individual training and career development opportunities.
At AIT, we create an inclusive and family-friendly working environment that promotes equal opportunities and actively strengthens diversity across our workforce and in leadership positions. Among other initiatives, we are committed to increasing the proportion of women in our company and therefore particularly welcome applications from female applicants.
Please submit your complete application documents online, consisting of your CV, a cover letter, relevant certificates (transcript of records), as well as a proof of identity.
