PhD Student AI - Safeguarding of Automotive Computing (m/f/diverse) (Job ID: 226679BR)

Stellenbeschreibung

We are searching for a research scientist (m/f/diverse) to join our artificial intelligence (AI) team in Berlin. As part of the central pre-development department, our goal is to develop and enable the use of AI in future Continental products. You will work in an innovative team of specialists and students with the goal of a Ph.D. In this thesis you are going to develop a method for evaluation of high performance hardware accelerators (e.g. neuromorphic) for advanced functions of artificial intelligence in modern, server-oriented E/E architectures. For this purpose, you will use benchmarks for evaluating complex representative workload from practical applications. Part of the thesis is to provide an exemplary safety argumentation for an AI component on system, software, and hardware level. This includes an assessment of possible reasoning approaches, collection of AI-specific safety concerns, derivation of safety requirements, development of detailed argumentation trees, and propositions for all requirements and assignment of methods of proof. Risk mitigation and management

Examine applicable measures that can be seen as a safe frame for AI Develop a monitoring function with safety limiter and mechanism for failure detection Incorporate redundance and diversity procedures (using data, model, hardware, etc.) Analyze the effectiveness and use of the developed system

Profil

Working in the AI Campus in Berlin means being part of a highly motivated and growing team of researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence. Being located in one of the German centers for AI, we strive to work on the frontier of research by having open exchange with experts and highly influential players in the community. Frequent talks, gatherings, and discussions as well as formal and informal team events ensure prompt spread of information. In our freshly established team of mostly Ph.D. students, we are maintaining an harmonious atmosphere of easy-going collaboration and exchange. Despite this inviting culture of togetherness, we will provide you with enough flexibility in terms of working time and location. Doing a Ph.D. in Continental is going to equip you with exceptional qualification, network, and industrial experience in the future field of autonomous driving. We are looking forward to meet you at the campus! Studied artificial intelligence, computer science, mathematics, physics, robotics or related fields Intensively worked with artificial-intelligence-related algorithms Desirable to know about autonomous systems or to be interested in Able to professionally speak and write in English language Speaking or eager to learn German Curious about giving new technologies a practical try Independent, creative, and proactive working style Actively working and communicating in a team

Applications from severely handicapped people are welcome.

Das Angebot In addition to the interesting field of activity of the function, the city of Berlin offers a high recreational value and stands for quality of life You will work in an innovative work environment, namely the co-working space AI Campus Become part of our motivated team - we are looking forward to you
