Master thesis or working student in information technology

The DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation is dedicated to mission-oriented research in selected areas of communications and navigation. Its work ranges from the theoretical foundations to the demonstration of new procedures and systems in a real environment and is embedded in DLR's Space, Aeronautics, Transport, Security and Digitalization programmes.

What to expect

The Advanced Information Processing Group aims at applying state-of-the-art theoretical results into real-world applications within information processing systems. The expertise of the group ranges from quantum error correction to Smart Data Management, exploring cutting-edge communication theories.

Your tasks

• Test state-of-the-art tensor network machine learning algorithms to improve the decoding of quantum error correction codes.
• Develop new ML frameworks for tensor networks.
• Devise new (clean and reproducible) training models.
• Develop generalization strategies across codes and physical error rates.

Your profile

• Interest in real-world machine learning applications.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Advanced programming skills : Python and Pytorch or similar.
• Hands-on experience in machine learning and deep learning.
• Evidence of completed projects, e.g. university coursework, internship, etc.
• Quantum theory and tensor network knowledge desirable.
• Good English knowledge

We look forward to getting to know you!
