RESEARCHER – INDUSTRIAL IOT (M/F/D)

fortiss is the state research institute of the Free State of Bavaria for the development of software-intensive systems, based in Munich. The scientists at the institute work in research, development and transfer projects with universities, research institutions and technology leaders in Bavaria, Germany, and Europe. They research and develop methods, techniques, and tools for reliable, secure and comprehensible software solutions and artificial intelligence applications. fortiss is organised in the legal form of a non-profit limited liability company. The shareholders are the Free State of Bavaria (majority shareholder) and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. (Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research).

The IIoT competence center of fortiss focuses on the development of computational and networking architectures for advanced IoT applications and use-cases in sectors such as Mobility, Smart Cities, Manufacturing, etc. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Edge computing, in particular decentralised edge architectures; deterministic wireless networking (e.g., Wi-Fi 6, 5G/6G, LoRa/LoRaWAN); dynamic container orchestration; information-centric networking; Integration of ML on the Edge including the “far Edge” (end-user and field-level devices).
To strengthen our team, we are looking for a:

Researcher – Industrial IoT (m/f/d)

The research activities to be developed comprise research and development activities in the context of national and international projects focusing on IoT/Edge/network-compute; advanced training (e.g., support in the organization of international scientific workshops and conferences; development of training activities such as, researchers, students); knowledge and technology transfer (e.g., development of activities such as Webinars to industry). The focus is on the development of software-based solutions aligned with the areas of interest of the team.
