Master Thesis - Developing a controller algorithm for IoT application

Your Job:

The aim of the project is to deploy a blind controller for an Internet of Things (IoT) application. Initially, the controller will be tested at room scale, followed by upscaling its implementation to a cloud platform. Ultimately, the controller`s effectiveness will be evaluated based on user acceptance and comfort.

Your role in this project involves contributing to the development of the cloud-based algorithm, which is summarized by the following work packages:

• Familiarization: Gain understanding of the controller algorithm and the overall architecture of IoT devices, communication protocols, and systems within the project.
  
• Algorithm Development: Using Python programming language to develop the algorithm and implement the controller in the cloud environment.
  
• Testing and Release: Conduct through testing of the controller to ensure functionality and reliability before releasing it for operational use.

Your Profile:

• Master studies with good grades in computer engineering, computer science or related fields
  
• Proficient programming skills in Python
  
• Good experience with Docker software
  
• Basic knowledge of IoT platforms and communication protocols
  
• Basic knowledge of machine learning algorithms
  
• Proficiency in GitLab for version control and collaboration on software development projects
  
• Independent and goal-oriented way of working
  
• Fluent in English (spoken and written)
