Student assistant (f/m/d) in the field of material processing with multi-beam optics

Location

Aachen | Germany

Job description

The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology is Europe's leading center for contract research and development in laser technology. The Micro- and Nanostructuring working group focuses on process engineering issues relating to ultrashort pulse processing. One focus is on the upscaling of established laser processes. Using multi-beam optics, in which the laser beam is divided into hundreds of partial beams by means of diffraction, we design highly parallelized processes. Applications of this technology come from the automotive, filter technology, electronics and medical sectors.
You will work with us to develop laser-based manufacturing processes for drilling, ablation and structuring with multi-beam optics. You will also work on the design and further development of optics and laser systems.

What you will do

• Collaboration in planning, setting up and carrying out experiments
• Evaluation of samples using the latest measurement technology
• Practical setup of laser machines and optics
• Adjustment of laser beam paths
• (Optional) CAD design of optical components
• (Optional) Programming of process scripts or evaluation tools

What you bring to the table

• You are studying mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics or a related course of study
• You are characterized by an independent and careful way of working and are able to solve problems independently
• A broad technical interest and manual dexterity are helpful, but not essential. Previous knowledge of laser technology 

What you can expect

• Exciting and varied work in which you will gain insights into laser material processing and in particular into microstructuring with ultrashort pulse lasers
• We work on a wide variety of projects with the latest system technology and laser beam sources
• Opportunity to write a student research project or thesis at the institute
• Flexible working hours so that you can combine your studies and professional practice
• Good public transportion connections

Remuneration is based on the general works agreement on the employment of auxiliary staff.
The weekly working hours are 10-19 hours.
The position is initially limited to 6 months, after which it can be extended.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. 

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future. 

Interested? Apply online now. We look forward to getting to know you!
