Master Thesis Enhanced MIMO Waveguide Antenna Arrays for Automotive Radar

At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: we grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Join in and feel the difference.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

MIMO antenna arrays in waveguide antenna technology are widely used in Radar sensors for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in the automotive domain. One Radar sensor must cover several functions with different requirements for the antenna system. Your work comprises the design of a new MIMO antenna system enabling an enhanced range of functionality for these Radar sensors.

• In your master thesis you will evaluate new MIMO antenna concepts based on waveguide antenna technology.
• You will design a new antenna system and assess the design for the waveguide technology.
• Furthermore, you will be responsible for the simulation of the design and the evaluation for different automotive functions (Long Range, Mid-Range, Short Range Radar).
• Finally, you will be working in a mixed team of RF and Signal processing experts. You will frequently exchange your results and discuss them within the team.

• Education: Master studies in the field of Electrical Engineering or comparable (with a focus on high frequency technology) with very good grades
• Experience and Knowledge: strong background on antenna array engineering and MIMO theory; experience in antenna system and component design; proficient in antenna theory (e.g. electromagnetic fields); good knowledge in electromagnetic software tools (e.g. CST/HFSS) and in Python
• Personality and Working Practice: you excel at leveraging your strong analytical skills to drive topics independently and proactively, while also integrating seamlessly as a supportive team player to achieve accurate results in a structured and systematic way
• Work Routine: your on-site presence is required
• Enthusiasm: for new technologies and commitment to learn new skills
• Languages: fluent in English and basic in German

Start: according to prior agreement

Duration: 6 months

Requirement for this thesis is the enrollment at university. Please attach your CV, transcript of records, examination regulations and if indicated a valid work and residence permit.

Diversity and inclusion are not just trends for us but are firmly anchored in our corporate culture. Therefore, we welcome all applications, regardless of gender, age, disability, religion, ethnic origin or sexual identity.
