Bachelor Thesis in Hardware Engineering
Bachelor Thesis · Part-time
Akilaris was founded on the belief that the orbital economy only works if space stays safe. We build AI-powered space intelligence and collision avoidance that lets satellite operators act in minutes, not days. Joining Akilaris means joining a small, fast team in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, where your work ships to real operators and directly protects real assets in orbit.
Commercial off-the-shelf processors are cheap and powerful, but orbit is hostile. Your Bachelor thesis evaluates fault-mitigation techniques (watchdogs, TMR, memory scrubbing, lockstep) on COTS platforms and derives a reference architecture for our on-board processing line.
Responsibilities
- Survey radiation effects on COTS compute (TID, SEU/SEL) and mitigation state of the art
- Implement selected mitigation techniques on representative hardware
- Design fault-injection experiments and measure detection/recovery performance
- Derive a costed reference architecture recommendation
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor student in electrical/computer engineering or similar, ready to start the thesis
- Embedded programming experience (C/C++)
- Fluent English or German for the thesis
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Coursework on computer architecture or dependable systems
- FPGA basics for fault-injection tooling
Additional Requirements
- Thesis duration per your examination regulations (typically 3–4 months)
- Optional paid working-student hours alongside the thesis
What We Offer
- Direct impact: your work ships to production and is used by real satellite operators
- Work side by side with the founders: short paths, fast decisions, real ownership
- Flexible hours built around lectures and exam phases (for student roles)
- Office in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, in the heart of a dense aerospace ecosystem, with hybrid options
- A high-trust, high-velocity culture: we iterate like a launch company, not a corporation
- Clear growth path: many student roles convert into permanent positions
