Since each of over 300,000 employees feels that other benefits are particularly important, and we cannot list our entire benefit portfolio here, you can find more information .
The individual benefits are subject to regulatory, contractual, or corporate conditions.
You'll make an impact byAs a PhD candidate (f/m/d) in our dynamic research group, you will be at the cutting edge of our "Emerging Technologies for Architecture Management" research initiative. This program is designed to empower software and system architects throughout the entire workflow—from initial requirements engineering to system design and development, to effective stakeholder communication.Your research will focus on developing novel approaches to analyze and understand complex legacy software systems using advanced AI techniques for modernization of these systems.
6. You will design and implement AI-driven solutions to automatically analyze, categorize, and map components within large-scale software systems, using your strong programming skills and knowledge of machine learning
7. Following this, you will conduct research on applying machine learning and natural language processing techniques to extract architectural insights from code, documentation, and system behavior
8. You will then develop intelligent tools to support system evolution, modernization, and management of technical debt, integrating your understanding of software architecture patterns and principles
9. Collaborating closely with industry experts, you will validate your research findings in real-world scenarios
10. Finally, you will publish your findings in top-tier academic conferences and journals, bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical applications in software and system architecture
This is how you'll win us over
11. Education: You have a Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field, with an excellent academic record
12. Experience and Skills:
13. Strong programming skills across multiple languages and paradigms (e.g., Java, Python, C++, functional languages)
14. Deep knowledge of static code analysistools, techniques, and underlying theory
15. Experience with dynamic code analysis,instrumentation, or runtime monitoring approaches
16. Proficiency with machine learning and NLP, transformer-based models and their applications
17. Hands-on experience with model fine-tuningand understanding of multi-agent system architectures
18. Solid understanding of software architecture patternsand principles, including microservices, event-driven architectures, and modularity concepts
19. Strong foundation in empirical software engineeringresearch methods and experimental design
20. Scientific writing and presentationskills for publications and conferences
21. Ways of Working: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, with excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team
22. Languages: Fluent in English; German is a plus but not required
