Student Assistant – fortiss IIoT Lab (m/f/d)

Based on realistic key performance indicators derived from real-time environments, across different vertical domains, the fortiss IIoT Lab  (https://www.fortiss.org/en/research/fortiss-labs/detail/iiot-lab)
is a playground that integrate multiple software-based demonstrators aiming at improving different aspects of an IoT Edge-Cloud system, with particular focus on far Edge solutions. Technically, our demonstrators cover aspects from the OSI MAC Layer until the OSI applicastion layer.

We are looking for student research assistants (HiWi, BSc or M.Sc.) to participate in the technical support of the IIoT Lab. The positions will include technical work, setup of equipment, testing of available demonstrators, to automate the ongoing work in the lab.
