Scientists (f/m/d) for 6G Wireless Communication and Sensing in Wien

The

AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is Austria's largest Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) . We aim to transform scientific excellence into innovation with impact. Together with our partners, we develop technologies and solutions for a sustainable, resilient, and digitalized future, strengthening Europe's competitiveness and technological sovereignty. Our international teams combine cutting-edge research with strong implementation expertise to create measurable value for industry and society. Our

Center for Digital Safety and Security

is looking for new Ingenious Partners for our location in

Vienna

(Giefinggasse, 1210). In the

Reliable Wireless Communication and Sensing

research team, we develop advanced physical layer 6G technologies. As a member of a growing team, you will perform applied research with European scientific and industrial partners and be involved in the successful execution of multiple European research projects. You will contribute to the

development of numerical signal processing algorithms for mobile 5G/6G ISAC scenarios . The algorithms will be validated using numerical simulations and empirical measurements from a software defined radio (SDR) testbed, combining radio frequency (RF), fiber optic, and quantum sensing. Depending on your background you will

conduct algorithm research and participate in designing real-time experiments. You will

engage in establishing a unique 6G distributed MIMO sensing testbed

based on SDR technology using open-source tools such as GNU Radio, RFNoC and LabVIEW for real-time FPGA algorithm design operating from 0.4 – 20 GHz. You will

evaluate the results

and

prepare them for further studie You will

publish your research results

in international journals and present them at conferences. You will gain expertise in a

research field with a wide range of applications , spanning construction, logistics, aviation, railways, agriculture, robotics, and defence. You will work alongside an international team of scientists and

expand your professional network through European-wide research projects . Your qualifications as an Ingenious Partner:

Completed technical studies (Master's degree or PhD)

related to Telecommunications, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering Experience in at least one of the following profiles: (1) Multi-static MIMO UAV sensing (2) Quantum sensing with NV centers and Rydberg cells (3) Multimodal sensing using fiber optic networks in ground/seafloor and distributed RF sensors Hands-on experience in radio frequency (RF) lab experimentation and printed circuit board design for the profiles listed above. Excellent knowledge in the field of signal processing, RF propagation modeling, AI/ML and numerical simulation software development (MATLAB or Python) Sound knowledge of electromagnetic field simulation tools, antenna design, and real-time FPGA programming. Interest in reading and writing scientific publications and enjoyment of solving application-oriented questions from industry High level of commitment and ability to work in a team Very good command of English. German language skills are an advantage What to expect:

The minimum gross annual salary on a full-time basis (38,5 h / week) according to the collective agreement is EUR 56.784,--. The actual salary will be determined individually, based on your qualifications and experience. In case of interest, we offer the

opportunity to pursue a PhD

at TU Wien alongside your full-time employment as a Scientist. Highlights of our employee benefits

include a canteen and meal allowance, organic coffee, tea and fruit baskets, preventive healthcare benefits and company doctor, pension fund, additional days off for various life events, family benefits (including two weeks of paid paternity leave "Papa-Weeks" and leisure subsidies), voucher programme, sports, cultural and socialising events and many more, as well as flexitime models (incl. up to 50% home office), travel support for conferences and networking, and individual training and career development opportunities. At AIT, we create an inclusive and family-friendly working environment that promotes equal opportunities and actively strengths diversity across our workforce and in leadership positions.
