Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!For our institute
Communication and Navigation, department Optical Satellite Links in
Oberpfaffenhofen we are looking for a
Student Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or similar (f/m/x)
Flight-Software developmentWhat to expect: Free-space Optical (FSO) communications enable the implementation of communication systems with very high data rates, maintaining small terminal sizes and low power consumption at the same time. In the past years, DLR’s Optical Satellite Links (OSL) department has been developing a system to transmit data through an optical link reliably. OSL is working on the development of miniaturized FSO terminals for small satellites. These are complex devices with several mechanical and electrical components, including on-board computers for controlling and data handling. Computers range from small microcontrollers to high performance processors running Real-Time and non-Real-Time operation systems. Your task is the development and verification of software for the on-board computers of FSO terminals. Most of the development is done using C and C++. Knowledge of Python is also required for testing. Development of space systems are challenging projects where complexity and the need of reliability and performance are always present. It is expected that as part of the development you will produce test cases for ensuring reliability. Developments can also include the integration and implementation of embedded middle-wares, communication protocols, and optimization problems, therefore familiarity with Real-Time systems and communication protocols is appreciated. What we expect from you:
- study of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electronics Engineering or similar
- knowledge of C, C++, Python
- knowledge of Git and Linux
- knowledge of Rust and CI/CD (optional)
- self-sustained working behavior
- English language proficiency
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified. Further information: Starting date: 01.02.2025
Duration of contract: 6 months
