Engineer Advanced Technology (M/F/D)
On-siteMunich, Bavaria, Germany
Job Summary
Investigate high-speed coherent optical transmission technologies for optical satellite communications by developing new concepts, performing simulations, and executing laboratory experiments. Analyze the impact of weather, atmosphere, and satellite movements on transmission performance, then complement experimental results with Python and MATLAB simulations. Conduct field trials on optical systems, prepare technical reports, and present findings in meetings, publications, and conferences. Support the transfer of novel ideas into future products while collaborating with industry and academia partners. This role requires a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related fields, strong programming skills, and proficiency in written and spoken English. Located in Munich, Germany, the position offers flexible working hours and an opportunity to pursue a PhD degree in cooperation with a partner university.
Required Qualifications
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Communications Engineering, or a related field
