Senior Researchers / Researchers in Underwater Robotics

Underwater Manipulation Systems

In the field of innovative software technologies, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is the leading research institution in Germany, and in the international science community the DFKI ranks among the most important “Centers of Excellence” worldwide.

Within research projects at DFKI Bremen there are open positions for

Senior Researchers / Researchers in Underwater Robotics

Candidates applying for this position will have the opportunity to work on an upcoming project developing the next generation of underwater manipulation systems.

Besides strong C/C++ programming skills and the skill to work in small and medium size teams, preferably experience in more than one of the following topics are expected:

  • Development of embedded systems using FPGAs / micro controller
  • Modelling and design of system on chip systems
  • Development of low level communication layers
  • Implementation of data compression algorithms

Tasks within the research projects will be among others:

  • Design of low level control strategies for several actuator systems, especially hydraulics using FPGA or micro controller
  • Design of system on chip systems on an FPGA, integrating different communication techniques like e.g. ethernet
  • Migration and adaptation of an existing microkernel for locomotion and behaviour control, to be used on an FPGA
  • Implementation of data compression algorithms on FPGAs / micro controller


There is the possibility for MSc to prepare a PhD thesis in that time frame, when applying for the Researcher position. Applications for the Senior Researcher position are open to post-doc candidates.

The DFKI Robotics Laboratory offers a competitive salary and the opportunity to work with a dynamic, continuously growing team in an interesting research environment.

The DFKI is an equal opportunity employer. Women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped applicants with equal qualification will be given preferential treatment.
Applicants should send a letter of interest, a CV, and two references in electronic form to:

DFKI Robotics Innovation Center Bremen
