Stuttgart, Deutschland Mercedes-Benz AG Vollzeit

**Aufgaben**:
The Mercedes-Benz Group AG is one of the most successful automotive companies in the world. With Mercedes-Benz AG and the divisions Mercedes-Benz Cars, Mercedes-Benz Vans and Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG, the vehicle manufacturer is one of the largest and most successful suppliers of premium passenger cars.

We are committed to shape the future of automotive mobility by developing highly automated driving systems for both highway and urban areas. Our development teams in Germany and California work with state-of-the-art technologies to develop innovative and class-leading systems to provide our customers with the best experience possible. To master this challenge, we are looking for energetic and committed master students to conduct research within our Vehicle Intelligence Team in Stuttgart.

The focus of your master thesis will be on the development of learning-based motion prediction algorithms for autonomous vehicles. This includes corresponding training strategies as well as the evaluation of the developed algorithms on large-scale datasets.

Based on an environmental model created from the sensor inputs, the developed algorithms should infer the future behavior of surrounding agents. Multiple possible futures should be provided in multiple consistent scenes.

**These challenges await you:
- Assessment of the current state-of-the-art in the area of scene-consistent motion prediction
- Development of motion prediction algorithms using machine learning techniques
- Implementation of a corresponding training and evaluation concept
- Evaluation of the developed methods on large-scale datasets and in simulation

**The final thesis selection is made in close consultation with you, the university and us.**

**Qualifikationen**:

- Master’s student in engineering, computer science, robotics or any related area
- Very good communication skills and proficiency in English and German
- Experiences with MS-Office
- Excellent programming skills in Python
- Strong knowledge and in-depth understanding of machine learning techniques, especially neural networks, and the corresponding software frameworks
- Experience with Linux and development on Linux Systems
- Knowledge in the area of motion prediction
- Basic knowledge of ADAS/AD architectures
- Excellent communication skills and desire to work as part of a global team in a multi-cultural environment
- High intrinsic motivation to perform cutting-edge research
- Highly self-organized
