Bachelor or Master Thesis/ IDP / Forschungspraxis (m/f/d) FPGA Data Processing for LiDAR

full-time

Your mission

Our LiDAR Sensor is one of the best in the world and produces great 3D data. One key of providing LiDAR data at high performance and precision is our FPGA design. Help our Embedded Software Team to work on our FPGA implementation and make it even better. The listed topics are examples of tasks but since we are moving fast new ideas always come up. Just apply and mention your interests and background and we’ll discuss suitable topics with you in detail.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer compensation for work on these thesis.

Your tasks

  • Analyse and evaluate FPGA architectures for next generation LiDARs
  • Implement IPs for data processing (VHDL/Verilog)
  • Integrate high performance interface IPs (PCIe, SPI)
  • Optimize for performance, resource consumption and power
  • Analyse for functional safety
  • Verify your design in automated tests in Gitlab CI
  • Low-level Software development (ARM, Linux)
