Description of the job

Are you looking for a final year project? Would you like to discover the work of an EM simulation specialist ?Then apply now! We look forward to you joining us.

Location: Bremen
Start: 01.01.2018
Duration: 6 months

You will write your final thesis in the department for EMC-Testing & Signatures. They operate a number of in-house electromagnetic field simulators for EMC and Radar signature simulation. There is the constant need to adapt these tools to new project requirements or to develop and implement new numerical algorithms.

ISAR imaging is an indispensable tool for Radar signature reduction. The ISAR imaging tool is combined with the Multilevel Fast Multipole (MLFMM) electromagnetic field solver. In order to improve the efficiency of the formulation, the MLFMM frequency sampling has to be as coarse as possible.

Desired profile

Tasks & accountabilities

The main tasks of the master thesis are:

·  Investigation of existing cases regarding necessary number of frequency points
·  Development and implementation of frequency interpolation algorithms
·  Definition of rules for the prediction of the necessary number of frequency points
·  Validation of the implemented algorithms and predictions
·  Documentation

This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.

Required skills

You offer:

·  Enrolled student (m/f) within Electrical Engineering, Physics or similar field of study
·  Strong interest in electrodynamics and numerical mathematics
·  Experience with software development / programming
·  IT - Tools: MS Office, object oriented programming languages, Python
·  Languages: fluent in German or English

You are a good team player, have excellent communication skills, and are able to work independently.
