The particular strength of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS lies in the development of smart systems - so-called intelligent systems for various applications. The systems combine electronic components, micro and nano sensors and actuators with interfaces for communication. Fraunhofer ENAS develops individual components, the technologies for their production as well as system concepts and system integration technologies and transfers them into practical use. Fraunhofer ENAS accompanies customer projects from the idea to the design, technology development or implementation using existing technologies, right through to the tested prototype.

The Data-based Methods team at Fraunhofer ENAS develops real-world applications using AI, machine learning and computer vision. The main focus is on semiconductor manufcturing and medical technology.

What you will do

Are you passionate about cutting-edge research at the intersection of hardware design and software programming? Join us as a student and help program heterogeneous compute platforms of the future, that incorporate FPGAs, GPUs and AI acceleration engines in the same device. These advanced platforms need new programming paradigms, software tools and languages to be utilized efficiently. In our group we strive to accelerate applications from medical engineering, machine learning and image processing on heterogeneous platforms.

We are currently looking for students for Master's theses, internships and student assistants. We can discuss our ideas together to find the right job for you.

What you bring to the table

• Candidates with a strong understanding and practical experience in the principles of hardware design and/or GPU programming are preferred.
• Solid programming skills are required.
• A strong interest in interdisciplinary work at the intersection of hardware design, mathematical methods and software development is essential.
• Still studying in Chemnitz, Mittweida or the surrounding area.
• A grade point average of < 2 is preffered.

What you can expect

• Collaboration in innovative and exciting research projects, with the opportunity to contribute your own ideas.
• Professional supervision and a varied range of tasks.
• A collegial, pleasant and motivating working environment.
• Flexible working hours and thus the optimal compatibility of studies and practice.

Your weekly working hours will depend on the job you have individually defined with us.
