The IIoT competence center of fortiss focuses on the development of computational and networking architectures for advanced IoT applications and use-cases in sectors such as Mobility, Smart Cities, Manufacturing, etc. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Edge computing, in particular decentralised edge architectures; deterministic wireless networking (e.g., Wi-Fi 6, 5G/6G, LoRa/LoRaWAN); dynamic container orchestration; information-centric networking; Integration of ML on the Edge including the "far Edge" (end-user and field-level devices).
To strengthen our team, we are looking for a:
Researcher - Industrial IoT (m/f/d)
The research activities to be developed comprise research and development activities in the context of national and international projects focusing on IoT/Edge/network-compute; advanced training (e.g., support in the organization of international scientific workshops and conferences; development of training activities such as, researchers, students); knowledge and technology transfer (e.g., development of activities such as Webinars to industry). The focus is on the development of software-based solutions aligned with the areas of interest of the team.
your task are:
- Conduct pioneering and applied research with focus on computational and networking architectures for advanced IoT applications, in areas such as Edge computing; deterministic wireless and cellular networks; Edge-Cloud continuum orchestration; information-centric networking; Edge AI; B5G, SDN.
- Support ongoing national and international research project development, including software development, scientific dissemination, technology transfer.
- Participate in the supervision of students.
- Support the development of advanced training activities, e.g., Webinars, seminars, scientific workshops, scientific conferences, summer schools.
- Contribute to the overall IIoT strategy, and to the fortiss strategy.
