Working Student (m/f/d) - Computer Vision & Robotics Infrastructure

At the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), we are developing future robotic capabilities. To push the boundaries of autonomous systems on earth and in space, we need rigorous, reproducible, and scalable ways to evaluate our models. You will help us build and maintain the backbone of our benchmarking pipeline that evaluates how our robots see and interact with the world.

Your Contribution:

  • Deep Learning Research: Be at the forefront of robotic vision research by implementing, testing, andadapting state-of-the-art deep learning models.
  • Infrastructure Development: Assist in building automated pipelines to evaluate detection,segmentation, and 6D pose estimation models and integrate new methods.
  • Software Engineering: Bridge the gap between experimental research code and stable, real-worldrobotic testbeds.
  • Dataset Management: Curate, preprocess, and version-control large-scale datasets.
  • Performance Analytics: Develop scripts and dashboards to visualize model performance metricsacross different hardware targets.

Your Qualifications:

  • Currently enrolled in a Master's program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or arelated field.
  • Strong proficiency in Python (PyTorch, OpenCV) and a solid understanding of C++.
  • A deep understanding of Computer Vision fundamentals, Deep Learning architectures and pipelines.
  • Experience with Linux environments and git is a significant advantage.
  • You value clean, maintainable code and have an analytical approach to troubleshooting complexsystems.

Why DLR?

  • Gain valuable experience in a cutting-edge field with high demand.
  • Work alongside leading scientists in a highly collaborative, international atmosphere.
  • Deploy your work to exciting robotic systems in our lab.
  • We support your studies with flexible working hours tailored to your exam periods.
  • We offer the possibility to transition your work into a Master’s Thesis.
