Project Title: Development of High-Availability Embedded Systems Application

In cooperation with GE, TU München investigates on the development process of high-availability embedded systems. The project covers the following aspects: code reuse, multi-core platforms, code generation, and formal verification. Within the project, a windmill application will be implemented as use case. Applicants should have a M.Sc. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent, from a well‐known University).
The success-ful candidate should have experience in one or more of the following areas:

1. software engineering
2. multi-core systems
3. formal methods, and
4. fault-tolerance mechanisms.

TU München enjoys an excellent international reputation as an aca-demic leader and has been consistently ranked as one of the three best universities in Germany. It was appointed one of only three top universi-ties in the first round of the "Excellence Initiative" of the German Gov-ernment in 2006. The group Robotics & Embedded Systems offers a unique working surrounding with interesting and challenging research projects. Besides the concrete project, the group provides excellent pos-sibilities for your career both in academia – within the associated re-search and transfer institute fortiss - and in industry - by its close ties to companies and by supporting the creation of spin-offs. The Munich area itself offers high quality of living, with unparalleled outdoor recreational opportunities and a great night-life at a reasonable price. Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, an academic transcript and two referees. A statement of the broad area of your re-search interest should also be included.
