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 Laser and Optical Systems department, you will be part of a diverse and experienced team dedicated to the development and implementation of laser beam sources for both industry and science.

Are you looking for an exciting job and eager to shape the future of laser technology in Germany and beyond? Join our team We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual to strengthen our team in the modeling and implementation of solid-state amplifiers with pulse energies in the joule range and/or in the field of nonlinear pulse compression.

The solid-state amplifiers are part of a MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) chain consisting of rod, Innoslab, slab, and disc amplifiers based on Ytterbium-based laser crystals.

Beyond optimizing the overall architecture, that combines the specific advantages of various concepts, a key objective is to advance towards higher pulse energies while maintaining average power and laser efficiency.

For nonlinear pulse compression, the spectral broadening in a multipass-cell invented at Fraunhofer ILT is being fundamentally advanced for higher pulse energies, shorter pulse durations, and more compact setups.

The focus of your activities can be tailored to your personal interests, encompassing experimental, technical-constructional, simulation, or administrative aspects.

What you will do

Working on publicly funded projects with industrial participation.
Planning, constructive shaping, and setup of demonstrators, as well as conducting experiments.
Active participation in public representation and the acquisition of new research and development projects on a national and international level.
Supervision of bachelor and master theses and students.

What you bring to the table

A completed scientific university degree (B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.

D.) in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

Fundamental experience in the field of laser technology and ultrashort laser pulses.
Interest and skills in the modeling and simulation of lasers.
Responsible and independent work ethic, high flexibility, and open communication.
Excellent language skills in English and good language skills in German.

What you can expect

A diverse and challenging role with autonomy and room for implementing innovative ideas.
Involvement in ambitious projects in close collaboration with both scientific and industrial partners.
A professional and dynamic working atmosphere.
Excellent equipment with stateoftheart machines and devices.
Opportunities for individual development through a diverse range of further professional development (seminars, coaching, language courses, etc.).
Flexible working hours and the option for remote work.
Worklife balance support (childcare facilities in the immediate vicinity of the institute).
Opportunity for pursuing a Ph.

D. at RWTH Aachen University

Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD).

The weekly working time is 39 hours.

This position is also available on a part-time basis.

The position is initially limited to 2 years.

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.
