The German Aerospace Center DLR has a dual mandate as the national 
research center for aeronautics and space, and as the space agency of 
the German federal government.

For our institute Simulation and Software Technology in Braunschweig, 
Germany, we wish to recruit a qualified

========================================

Computer Scientist in Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR)

========================================

Investigation of Virtual and Augmented Reality for Next Generation 
Engineering Workplaces

========================================

Your Mission:

----------------

We are looking for scientists for our 3D Interaction working group. The 
main research focus is improving direct human computer interaction for 
aerospace applications. Besides virtual reality (VR) techniques, 
investigation of (markerless) Augmented Reality (AR) methods becomes 
more dominant. Therefore, your tasks would be manifold and would address 
topics like:

- Virtual assembly simulation for on-orbit servicing of satellites,

- Evaluation and steering of physically correct rover simulations on 
planet and comet surfaces,

- Integration of AR techniques for situation evaluation and operation 
planning for multi-user tables and in the field for the purpose of 
crises management,

- Investigation of next generation workplaces for train operator, air 
traffic controller, traffic management systems, etc by means of VR and 
AR methods,

- Coupling of multiple VR workplaces to one collaborative environment.

If you feel at home in the development of scientific applications in 
those topics, you are interested in implementing solutions for leading 
edge technologies like HTC Vive or Microsoft HoloLens and you are always 
looking for big challenges to tackle, then this position could be the 
right one for you. Maybe you can additionally bring in following skills 
and experiences:

- Deep experiences in developing methods for human-computer interfaces 
in immersive environments (Multi-Pipe Projection, Head Tracking, Physics 
Engines, Force Feedback, Scenegraph APIs, VR Toolkits, etc.),

- Practical skills in developing 3D interaction and navigation metaphor,

- Basic knowledge in Augmented Reality (AR) techniques,

- Skills in software development for LINUX.

We are always looking for highly motivated people who want to make our 
teams even stronger. We also want to motivate more women to work in our 
scientific domain. Part time is also possible. And the opportunity is 
offered to bring in own ideas and research topics which have the 
potential to solve our mission. Eventually, we are looking for people 
initiating new research projects and who are eager to publish their 
scientific results on international conferences and in scientific journals.

Required Qualifications:

----------------------------

- You have an excellent Master in Computer Science or in a similar 
research direction.

- You are an expert in object-oriented software development in C++.

- You possess a profound knowledge in Computer Graphics.

- You know Software Engineering methods (UML, Test-Driven-Development, 
Continuous Integration, Git, etc.) very well.

- You are a team player, creative, and able to work independent and 
self-motivated.

- You are fluent in spoken and written English (knowledge of German is 
an asset).

If you have any questions concerning specific aspects of the job, please 
contact Dr. Andreas Gerndt by calling +49 531 295-2782. Please find
