PhD Safety Contracts for Physical AI

• The design and development of innovative safety contracts will be your core focus establishing formal runtime interfaces to ensure safe interaction between decision-making and control in autonomous systems.

• You will precisely define assumptions guarantees and adaptation rules for modular autonomy stacks to secure system integrity across different abstraction levels.

• More over you will utilize advanced methods of optimal control sequential decision-making under uncertainty and reinforcement learning to develop robust high-performance solutions.

• Using machine learning you will derive feasibility margins uncertainties and the safety contracts themselves from real-world data.

• Translating research findings into concrete applications is a key goal particularly in the domain of vehicle motion control and autonomous driving to safely bridge the gap between high-level decisions and physical reality.

• Last but not least you will contribute significantly to making learning-enabled autonomy modular by design guaranteeing safety by construction and enabling verification at runtime.

Qualifications :

• Education: excellent masters degree (or equivalent) in Control Engineering Robotics Computer Science or a related field
• Experience and Knowledge: solid background in optimization or control and programming proficiency in Python
• Personality and Working Practice: you are enthusiastic about technical challenges like to develop solutions in interdisciplinary diverse teams and implement them up to the functional model; you are willing to take initiative and responsibility; you possess the ability to approach tasks systematically methodically combined with a consistent focus on finding solutions and a dedication to delivering high-quality results
• Languages: very good English German is an advantage
