Beschreibung

The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is Europe's leading center for contract research and development in the field of laser technology.

In the competence field "Surface Technology and Ablation", laser treatment of surfaces and functional layers (thin film processing) has been developed together with renowned companies for more than 15 years.

The main research topics of the working group "Thin Film Processing" are:

Additive manufacturing of electronic functional layers for hydrogen and battery technology, microelectronics and sensor technology, among others.
Tribological, corrosion protection and antistick coatings
3D component coating
Marking and cleaning
Development of suitable machine technology and process control as well as integration of thinfilm processes into process chains

The common thread here is the use of laser radiation for the thermal post-treatment of functional coatings and component surfaces to produce the desired functional properties.

In addition to the development of process control and machine technology, the testing of these solutions in close cooperation with potential industrial users is essential for the realization of innovative process chains and new high-performance material combinations.

What you will do

For project work in research and development, we are looking for an employee to join our dynamic team in the field of thin film processes.

We value an open and forward-looking way of working in which creativity coupled with personal ambition and teamwork can flourish.

Within the scope of industrial projects and publicly funded projects, the future of laser-based thin film processing is being shaped in close cooperation with industrial partners from e.g.

automotive engineering, aerospace, medical technology and electrical engineering.

The field of activity includes:

Scientific and administrative lead of projects with a focus on thin film processing in the area of next generation fuel cell functional coatings.
Collaboration in the acquisition of new research and development projects
Presentation of your results at project meetings with our industrial customers and at conferences in a national and international environment.
Support and further development of laserbased machines
Supporting simulation/modeling if necessary
Supervision of working students and bachelor / master thesis.

What you bring to the table

You have a completed Master's degree (TH, TU, U) in the field of electrochemistry, materials science, materials engineering, physics, mechanical engineering or a comparable field.

Ideally, you have already gained experience in coating technology and basic knowledge in the field of laser technology. The job requires a responsible and independent way of working. We expect above-average commitment, great initiative, open and team-oriented communication, and a convincing appearance towards our customers.

In addition to excellent German language skills, very good to excellent English language skills are a prerequisite for our international activities.

What you can expect
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT offers scientists, in addition to professional and personal development:

an exciting and challenging field of work in applied research

- tasks with responsibility and creative freedom
- close cooperation with science and industry
- possibility to do a PhD at RWTH Aachen University in combination with industry-related project work, excellent equipment with machines, devices, laboratories, workshops.

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.
