vor 2 Wochen


Weissach, Deutschland Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG Vollzeit

What to expect? Your Mission: At Porsche Motorsport, we continuously strive to improve the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of so-called Digital Twins: digital representations of the system car-racetrack-driver. Within this thesis, you will focus on advancing our race driver model, which is based on reinforcement learning. The goal is to further develop the method and toolchain, targeting improved imitation quality, enhanced generalization, efficiency and performance. In this scope, there will be plenty of scientific challenges to overcome and there will be also opportunities to contribute to scientific publications. Content of the Thesis: Development and implementation of methods to accelerate training of reinforcement learning driver models  Investigation and application of domain randomization to improve robustness across varying conditions  Tuning of hyperparameters and training schemes for enhanced model performance  Evaluation of improvements within the context of lap simulation and setup sensitivity analysis  Benchmarking against the current state of the art in simulation workflows  What sets you apart? Ongoing master studies in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mechatronics, or related fields  Solid background in reinforcement learning and machine learning algorithms  Practical experience with Python and ML frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch)  Good programming skills in Python or similar  Knowledge in vehicle dynamics and motorsport applications is an advantage  Independent, structured, and solution-oriented working style  Passion for motorsport and technology-driven performance optimization  Do you still have questions? Our application hotline, on /-22 , is open Monday to Friday from 13.00 to 16.00 for any questions you may have about applications to Porsche.  About Porsche “In the beginning, I looked around and could not find quite the car I dreamed of. So I decided to build it myself.” This quote from Ferdinand Porsche sums up what Porsche is as a brand, as a company, as a car manufacturer and as an employer. The “Porsche idea” has produced unique sports cars, such as the Porsche and the . With the combination of tradition, innovation and our employees` Porsche typical – sometimes unconventional – ways of thinking, we make automobile dreams come true and always have that “little bit more” in our sights. But Porsche is more than “just” an exclusive sports car producer. Because Porsche has a lot to offer as an employer as well: numerous entry and career opportunities, measures for combining work and family, and flexible working hours.
