The Augmented Vision Department of DFKI led by Prof. Dr. Didier Stricker is offering a Student
Assistant position for curious and passionate students, who want to explore the field of explainable
autonomous driving and human-like perception (More guidance and specifics about the topic will be discussed in
the initial interview)

Main Tasks:
• Work with the driving simulator at DFKI and assist in data collection.
• Design driving scenarios for driving according to specific use cases.
• Write scripts in Python to process and extract sensor data from a simulated vehicle.
• Develop machine learning models to simulate human-like perception in autonomous vehicles.

Requirements
• Good knowledge of concepts in Computer Vision, Deep Learning and LLMs.
• High-level experience in Python and PyTorch/TensorFlow
• Basic driving experience (optional but preferred).
• Interest in hands-on work with driving simulator and wearable sensors.
