We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team and conduct research in the field of cognitive radar for automotive applications. Typically the hardware and software of automotive radar sensors are initially optimized during development operating independent of the environment. However in the cognitive radar approach the radar waveform and signal processing are adapted based on previous sensing results and learned characteristics of the environment resulting in improved sensing performance as well as potential cost savings.
- The goal of this PhD thesis is to research novel and innovative methods for cognitive Radar to enable adaptive sensing for automotive scenarios.
- As part of this research you will work on the following key questions: How to learn characteristics of diverse automotive scenes How to optimize radar sensing performance by adapting the waveform and signal processing (classical and AIbased)
- Additionally you will investigate methods for the release of cognitive radar functionality ensuring safe and reliable operation with certain performance guarantees in all situations.
- During your PhD work you will have the opportunity to build upon an existing radar simulation and signal processing framework to develop a cognitive loop showcasing improved sensing for one or multiple perception tasks. Ideally the cognitive loop will also be implemented in an existing HW demonstrator to verify the approach in realworld scenarios.
- Furthermore you will have the chance to contribute to the scientific community through publications in toptier radar as well as machine learning conferences and journals.
Qualifications :
- Education: excellent degree in Electrical Engineering Information Technology Computer Science or similar
- Experience and Knowledge: profound knowledge of radar technologies including signal processing as well as system design; solid understanding of machine learning principles; coding experience in Python and deep learning frameworks ideally PyTorch
- Personality and Working Practice: you take a proactive approach to your tasks; an independent and creative way of working characterizes you
- Languages: fluent in English written and spoken German is advantageous
