DSP Engineer - Werkstudent

This is a hands-on opportunity to apply what you're learning about signal processing to a real product that keeps people and critical infrastructure safe. As a Working Student on our RF Engineering team in Kassel, you'll work alongside experienced DSP engineers — prototyping algorithms, analyzing real RF captures, and building the tooling that helps us detect and classify drones in the wild. You'll grow your practical DSP and software skills on real-world data, with mentorship and room to take ownership of meaningful pieces of work.

Responsibilities

• Help prototype, implement, and test DSP algorithms in Python and C++.
• Analyze recorded RF / I/Q captures and help characterize drone and controller signals.
• Build and improve scripts and tooling for signal analysis, data handling, and visualization.
• Run experiments and document results to support detection and classification work.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Coursework or project experience in DSP fundamentals (e.g., sampling, filtering, FFT/spectral analysis, modulation).
• Programming experience in Python and/or C++.
• Genuine curiosity about RF / wireless and signal processing, and an eagerness to learn on real data.
• Good communication skills in English; German is a plus.
