Job Description

Kennziffer: 3603
Arbeitsort: Oberpfaffenhofen
Eintrittsdatum: 01.01.2026
Karrierestufe: Studien- & Abschlussarbeit
Beschäftigungsgrad: Teilzeit
Dauer der Beschäftigung: 6 Months

Vergütung: Die Vergütung erfolgt gemäß der jeweils geltenden Tarifverträge des öffentlichen Dienstes (Bund).

Steige ein in die faszinierende Welt des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V. (DLR), um mit Forschung und Innovation die Zukunft mitzugestalten! Mit dem Know-how und der Neugier unserer 11.000 Mitarbeitenden aus 100 Nationen sowie unserer einzigartigen Infrastruktur bieten wir ein spannendes und inspirierendes Arbeitsumfeld. Gemeinsam entwickeln wir nachhaltige Technologien und tragen so zur Lösung globaler Herausforderungen bei. Möchtest du diese große Zukunftsaufgabe mit uns zusammen angehen? Dann ist dein Platz bei uns!

Das Institut für Kommunikation und Navigation des DLR widmet sich der missionsorientierten Forschung in ausgewählten Bereichen der Kommunikation und Navigation. Seine Arbeiten reichen dabei von den theoretischen Grundlagen bis hin zur Demonstration neuer Verfahren und Systeme im realen Umfeld und sind in die DLR-Programme Raumfahrt, Luftfahrt, Verkehr sowie Sicherheit und Digitalisierung eingebettet.


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 research group Multimodal Navigation focuses on developing robust methods for pedestrian navigation in environments where satellite-based systems like GPS are unavailable or severely impaired. The main emphasis is on applications for professional user groups such as firefighters and police officers, who rely on reliable positioning at all times during operations. Localization plays a particularly important role in complex buildings, tunnels, or disaster scenarios, where orientation can be difficult and even life‑critical.


Your tasks:

Continue development to enable cross-device usability of WiFi/BLE maps generated with foot-mounted sensors on handheld devices (e.g., smartphones).
Investigate and implement algorithms for making WiFi/BLE data recorded with different devices comparable in terms of scale and offset.
Extend the current WiFi-based positioning framework to include BLE and quantitatively evaluate performance gains.
Analyze the interoperability of WiFi/BLE fingerprint maps created using different sensing platforms (foot-mounted vs. smartphone).
Integrate smartphone sensors (barometer, step-detection, inertial sensors) with WiFi/BLE positioning to develop and evaluate a 3D hybrid localization solution.
Identifiying/Filtering non-stationary WiFi-APs and BLE beacons
Using WiFi/BLE signals to perform a loop closure detection to correct potential PDR drift
Using an already extisting WiFi/BLE map to estimate the initial position indoors

Your profile:

Familiarity with some of the following is desirable

Programming knowledge in C++, C to develop firmware for WiFi/BLE scanning
Prototyping knowledge in Matlab/python to establish simulation environment to assist the development
Programming knowledge in Java/Kotlin to develop an android application for data recording, live demonstration
Knowledge in sensor fusion and fingerprinting algorithms
Knowledge in WiFi/BLE technology
Git to track changes
