Working Student Bridging Antenna Theory and Software Beamforming Visualization for Phased-Array Sys

The HFS (HF und SatKom System) department at Fraunhofer IIS specializes in advanced wireless communication systems, with a strong focus on satellite communication and Non-terrestrial Networks (NTN). The department drives innovation in 5G and 6G technologies, AI distributed systems, antenna systems and RF hardware to meet the demands of next-generation networks.

During your working time here, you will be given the following role:

• Application engineering: You design and develop a web-based beamforming visualization tool (GUI) for component configuration and signal analysis.
• Signal processing: You implement antenna-array and beamforming algorithms (e.g., array factor calculation) within the application.
• Cross-functional alignment: You collaborate within a team of software and RF engineers to ensure the software accurately reflects the underlying phased-array behavior.

• Organize your schedule: Benefit from flexible working hours that are perfectly compatible with your studies.
• Become part of a creative team: Experience an open and friendly working atmosphere in which your ideas are valued.
• Variety that inspires: Look forward to divers tasks that inspire and challenge you.
• Shape the future with us: Take part in application-oriented research and put your theoretical knowledge to practice.
• Innovation that inspires: Exciting and pioneering projects that make a real difference.

We will agree your start date and weekly working hours with you individually (as a working student 12 to 20 hours per week or for an internship at least three months) . You can reduce your hours before exams and increase them during semester breaks. You can set your working days flexibly. After your studies, there are attractive opportunities to join the institute on a full-time or part-time basis. You can flexibly determine the working days of your fixed-term employment contract.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled people are given preference if they are equally qualified.
