Looking for a Software Engineer / Scientific Programmer specializing in Data Science at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) in Aachen

A new research group working on the interplay between data science and process science has been established within the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT). We are looking for a Software Engineer / Scientific Programmer to strengthen the team. The focus will be on the development of cutting-edge data science tools. Therefore, we look for candidates that master modern programming languages like Java and Python and have experience in realizing complex software, preferably related to data processing. Knowledge of big data infrastructures and modern database systems is welcomed.

Fraunhofer FIT closely collaborates with the Process and Data Science (PADS) group, headed by Prof. Wil van der Aalst, at RWTH Aachen University. The new FIT research group will be collocated with the PADS group in Aachen, Germany. The scope of the new group includes all topics where discrete processes are analyzed, reengineered, and/or supported in a data-driven manner (www.pads.rwth-aachen.de<http://www.pads.rwth-aachen.de>). Process-centricity is combined with an array of Data Science techniques (machine learning, data mining, visualization, and Big data infrastructures). The main focus is on Process Mining (including process discovery, conformance checking, performance analysis, predictive analytics, operational support, and process improvement). This is combined with neighboring disciplines such as operations research, algorithms, discrete event simulation, business process management, and workflow automation. The ambition is to realize scientific breakthroughs that will help organizations to turn event data into business and societal value.

We are looking for a Software Engineer / Scientific Programmer to strengthen the new research group within the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT). The position will allow candidates to develop their data science skills and develop cutting-edge process mining tools in collaboration with top researchers. The unique capabilities offered by process mining, the availability of torrents of event data, and the support of FIT and RWTH offer a unique opportunity to realize innovations that will have a major impact on the next generation of process mining tools. Proof-of-concepts will be realized based on existing open-source tools like ProM. Moreover, ideas will be transferred to commercial products in close collaboration with industry.

Your profile

*        You have a Master (or PhD) in computer science or a related discipline (e.g., statistics, operations research or management science with a specialization in data and/or process science).

*        You master modern programming languages like Java and Python.

*        You have experience in realizing complex software, preferably related to data processing.

*        You have experience in using modern database systems.

*        Experience with Big data platforms like Spark and Hadoop is preferable.

*        You have a genuine interest (or experience) in process mining and are willing to demonstrate this as part of the application process.

*        You are eager and able to co-supervise students working on software-intensive projects.

*        You have excellent communicative skills (also in English).
