Engineer / Physicist - Control Engineering & Computer Vision for Optronic Systems | Ingenieur / Physiker (all genders) - Regelungstechnik & Computer Vision für optronische Systeme

Job Summary

This role involves shaping the future of optical measurement and optronic analysis systems within the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technology, and Image Evaluation (IOSB). The successful candidate, an Engineer or Physicist, will join the Optronics department to research and develop complex imaging sensor and analysis systems. Day-to-day tasks include developing and implementing Computer Vision algorithms for object detection and tracking using optical data, and applying control engineering principles to sensor tracking, including designing and implementing suitable control loops. You will be responsible for integrating image processing and control technology into complex experimental setups, optimizing the overall system, and conducting experiments for iterative improvement. This position requires strong interdisciplinary skills in areas like image processing, mechanics, control engineering, and optics, focusing on high-precision experimental systems from concept to completion, and includes participation in multi-day measurement campaigns both domestically and internationally.
