Electrical engineer, physicist - maritime, terrestrial navigation receiver (f/m/d)

What To Tasks

As part of this, the Maritime Services working group focuses on alternative terrestrial navigation systems that complement global navigation satellite systems and enable navigation even under disturbed conditions. We are developing the maritime navigation system R-Mode and the appropriate receiver technology to meet the needs of maritime service providers and users. As far as it is compatible with our operational procedures, we offer you the opportunity to carry out your work under the conditions of mobile working. In addition, you can organise your working hours flexibly, provided that you work during core working hours.

Your tasks

1. Development of radio-based alternative methods for maritime navigation and the provision of time for maritime infrastructures
2. Selection, development, implementation and validation of real-time capable algorithms for the measurement and mitigation of sky-waves in the medium frequency range
3. Setting up a measuring station network of receivers with the ability to measure sky-waves
4. Statistical analysis of measurement results and prediction of the influence of interference on the performance of the navigation system
5. Assumption of project responsibilities
