Offer Description

THE FUTURE IS WHAT WE CREATE WHEN WE TAKE OUR VISIONS TO THE LIMITS.

PHD AT THE BMW GROUP.

Bridging the gap between your doctoral studies and the kind of career challenge you're looking for isn't always easy. That's why our ProMotion PhD programme gives you the opportunity to apply your passion and scientific expertise to very real challenges that could shape the future of mobility. If selected, you'll have the chance to really develop your own future career path with us through your practice-related thesis, promote your chosen specialty from within - and position yourself to secure the career you've always wanted.

We, the BMW Group, offer you an interesting and varied Ph.D. program in the area of Artificial Intelligence for Safety-Constrained Explainable End-to-End Autonomous Driving.

Typically, Autonomous Driving systems are modularly designed, while using human-interpretable interfaces between the different modules. However, this leads to a loss of information and cascading of errors. In contrast, End-to-End systems, holistically trained, help mitigating this issue. Research on End-to-End models, together with important aspects for industrialization such as explainability or safety constraints are the focus of the proposed work.

What awaits you?

• Research on state-of-the-art Machine Learning methods in End-to-End models for Autonomous Driving.
• Design of network topologies to embed safety constraints while enabling a high degree of explainability, using multiple sensor modalities as input, such as cameras and radars.
• Benchmarking of the generated models on publicly available research datasets as well as on a large-scale, multimodal BMW proprietary dataset.
• Chance to deploy the models on a specialized SoC for in-vehicle tests.
• Working in an experienced team of software developers and Machine Learning engineers at the Autonomous Driving Campus in Unterschleißheim.

What should you bring along?

• You have successfully completed a Master's Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning / Artificial Intelligence, or in a related field.
• You have a strong background in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Low Level Sensor Fusion, and/or explainable models. Previous publications in top conferences are a plus.
• You have very good programming skills in PyTorch / TensorFlow, and you worked with modern programming environment tools such as Docker and Git.
• You can solve problems independently while sharing ideas and working in a team.
• You have very good English and communication skills. Knowledge of German is a plus.

What do we offer?

• Comprehensive mentoring & onboarding.
• Personal & professional development.
• Work-Life-Balance & flexible working hours.
• Mobile work.
• Attractive remuneration.
• Apartment offers for employees (subject to availability & only Munich).
• And many other benefits - see jobs/benefits
