Who are we?
fortiss is the state research institute of the Free State of Bavaria for the development of software-intensive systems, based in Munich. The scientists at the institute work in research, development and transfer projects with universities, research institutions and technology leaders in Bavaria, Germany, and Europe. They research and develop methods, techniques, and tools for reliable, secure and comprehensible software solutions and artificial intelligence applications. fortiss is organised in the legal form of a non-profit limited liability company. The shareholders are the Free State of Bavaria (majority shareholder) and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. (Fraunhofer Society for the Promotion of Applied Research).
The IIoT competence center of fortiss focuses on the development of computational and networking architectures for advanced IoT applications and use-cases in sectors such as Mobility, Smart Cities, Manufacturing, etc. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Edge computing, in particular decentralised edge architectures; 6G/deterministic wireless networking; dynamic container orchestration; information-centric networking; Edge AI.
To strengthen our team, we are looking for a:
Student Assistant - fortiss IIoT Lab, Orchestration of Autonomous Robotics Applications with the Kubernetes CODECO Framework (m/f/d)
With the growing adoption of IIoT applications, container orchestration solutions such as Kubernetes require enhancements and additional support to handle the dynamic migration of workloads and system states more effectively. Addressing these challenges, the fortiss research institute, within its IIoT competence field, is actively developing mechanisms to improve the orchestration of mobile and resource-constrained Edge environments within the Horizone Europe CODECO (Cognitive Decentralised Edge-Cloud Orchestration).
