Engineer (m/f/d) in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electronics or Measurement Technology
Within the framework of a Helmholtz funding line to strengthen transfer and innovation, the marine research centers of the Helmholtz Association HEREON, AWI and GEOMAR are establishing an innovation platform for marine observation and sensor technology, in close cooperation with industry (in the field of marine observations), and with operators of ships and measurement platforms. The project will promote the participation of civil society in the collection of ocean data, with the long-term goal of establishing a visible innovation platform for the new blue economy.
In the department of Coastal Productivity, we investigate coastal and estuarine biogeochemical processes, including primary production, carbon and nutrient cycles, and ecosystem dynamics, through the use of autonomous measurement technologies like FerryBox. Within this project, we are looking for an engineer to develop an interface module and test autonomous measurement systems that will be deployed on small vessels and autonomous floating platforms. The position is initially limited to two years, starting as soon as possible.
Your tasks:
- software and embedded-hardware-programming for integration of different sensors on measurement platforms and execution and sampling of measurements
- development, testing and maintenance of measurement systems (electronics and mechanics)
- preparation, assistance, and application of our measurement equipment on research cruises
- software development of tools for effective data quality control and presentation
Your profile:
- Master‘s or Bachelor’s degree in computer science, mechatronics, electronics
- excellent knowledge in electronics and physical measurement techniques
- very good knowledge in engineering and technology of instruments
- programming skills in, i.e., Python (cross-platform Linux/Windows), LabVIEW, Matlab, C++
- high degree of initiative and ability to work as part of a team
- high degree of independence, flexibility and creativity
- ability and willingness to participate in sea-going research
