For our institute KI-Sicherheit in Ulm we are looking for

Creation of VR/AR demonstrators

What to expect:

The Institute for AI Safety and Security provides research and development services in the field of AI-related methods, processes, algorithms and execution environments. The focus is on ensuring safety and security for AI-based solutions in ambitious application classes. “Safety and security by design” is a central aspect in this context, since it directly supports future requirements of safety-critical applications that are based on AI or integrate AI-based components.

Main Research Areas of the Institute for AI Safety and Security are:

In the Institute’s focus area of AI Engineering you work on innovative development processes and methods as well as technologies and execution environments for the implementation of safety-critical AI-based applications. In particular, in domains like aviation, space, energy and transport, those contributions are of high relevance. By an in-depth analysis of current development processes for safety-critical applications you identify requirements for suitable AI methods and technologies as well as their execution environments in the context of safety-critical applications. The according improvement of AI ​​methods/technologies and execution environments will be realized by joint activities with experts from other research areas of the Institute for AI Safety and Security or external research and development partners. Based on this, you are responsible for the instantiation of demonstrators which allow the critical reflection of results and gained insights within practically relevant applications as well as test and assessment procedures.

• Creation of 3D assets: Design and modelling of 3D objects and environments using Blender, which are used in VR/AR demonstrators
• Implementation and integration: Integration of the created 3D assets in VR/AR environments using the Godot game engine
• Programming of VR/AR functionalities: Development of simple scripts and functions in Godot to control VR/AR interactions and support the overall design
• Support in the development and optimization of VR/AR demonstrators: Collaboration in the planning, design and implementation of virtual application scenarios for autonomous mobility and logistics solutions
• Testing and debugging: Carrying out tests to ensure the functionality and performance of VR/AR demonstrators; troubleshooting and optimizing applications

What we expect from you:

What we offer:

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
