Job Title: Field Applications Engineer (Graduate Entry) – Physical AI, Embedded Software & Radio Systems

Location: Munich

About the Role

Join a technical team developing intelligent systems that connect the physical and digital worlds. As a graduate Field Applications Engineer in the Communications Team, you will focus on Physical AI: combining sensing, embedded software and AI to interpret real-world signals and enable intelligent system responses.

Working alongside experienced mentors, you will develop hands-on demonstrations and customer-focused proof-of-concept solutions using radio systems, software-defined radio (SDR) platforms and edge computing. The role combines software development, signal processing and hardware integration, taking ideas from initial exploration through practical validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop proof-of-concept solutions combining Physical AI, embedded software and radio systems for real-world sensing and communication applications.
• Develop and debug embedded software in C/C++ and Python for radio configuration, data acquisition, signal processing and system control.
• Integrate SDR platforms with embedded processors and edge-computing hardware to build end-to-end demonstrators.
• Contribute to AI workflows, including dataset preparation, model evaluation and deployment on edge platforms, with guidance from experienced engineers.
• Implement and validate signal-processing pipelines for applications such as spectrum awareness, RF signal classification and intelligent wireless sensing.
• Explore multimodal sensing by combining RF information with other sensor inputs, such as camera data.
• Measure and improve system performance, including processing latency, data throughput, resource usage and reliability.
• Troubleshoot hardware–software integration issues in laboratory and customer settings.
• Collaborate with customers and internal engineering teams to translate application needs into practical technical solutions.
• Present demonstrations, document results and communicate technical findings clearly.
• Take ownership of defined project tasks while proactively seeking feedback, building technical skills and working with mentors.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Communications Engineering or a related field; recent or upcoming graduate.
• Practical programming experience in C/C++ and Python through coursework, academic projects, internships or personal projects.
• Foundational knowledge of embedded systems and digital signal processing, with an interest in wireless communications and radio systems.
• Basic understanding of AI/machine learning concepts and a strong interest in applying them to physical-world signals and embedded applications.
• Hands-on experience developing, testing or debugging software on hardware platforms.
• Ability to approach open-ended technical problems systematically and turn ideas into working prototypes.
• Clear communication, teamwork and documentation skills.
• Willingness to learn new technologies and engage with customers and cross-functional teams.

Desirable Experience

Experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable:

• Embedded Linux, real-time software or hardware interfaces such as SPI, I²C and UART.
• SDR platforms, RF measurements, wireless protocols or I/Q signal processing.
• AI frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, including model training and inference.
• GPU-accelerated processing, CUDA or deployment of AI models on edge-computing platforms.
• Computer vision, sensor fusion or integrated sensing and communication.
• Git, automated testing and reproducible development workflows.

What We Offer

• Hands-on mentoring and structured training in Physical AI, embedded software, signal processing and radio technologies.
• Opportunities to build working prototypes and contribute to customer-facing demonstrations.
• Exposure to cross-functional projects spanning sensing, connectivity and edge intelligence.
• A growth path toward technical specialization or broader applications engineering responsibilities.
• A collaborative, supportive team culture.
