Job Description

At the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, we may not be developing swords to fight the dark side of the Force, but our developments often sound like science fiction. That's because we are designing the technologies and processes for the future of digital production, packaging and scanner technology, and many other laser-based applications, such as 3D printing and laser fusion. Are you looking for an exciting job as a student assistant (m/f/d) that will change the future?

The In-Volume Structuring and Lithography Group is divided into two sections, with one half focusing on the structuring of semiconductors. This involves the use of pulsed laser radiation with pulse durations ranging from femtoseconds to nanoseconds. The use of laser wavelengths in the (deep) ultraviolet range (150-360 nm) enables precise processing of wide bandgap semiconductors. In this area, we work on public projects as well as industrial projects with partners from the semiconductor and LED industries.

Be part of change

• You will support us in setting up and operating a laser system for transferring µLEDs, as well as in experimental work
• You will test various materials and processes for a LIFT process (Laser Induced Forward Transfer)
• You will be involved in the planning, setup, and execution of experiments
• You will examine the samples using state-of-the-art measurement technology
• You will then evaluate the results and present them

What you contribute

• You are studying physics, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a comparable degree program and are interested in application-oriented research and development
• You are characterized by an independent and meticulous approach to your work and solve problems on your own
• Ideally, you have a broad technical interest and manual dexterity
• Prior knowledge of laser technology is advantageous but not essential

What we offer

�� Team spirit: Creative and interdisciplinary working environment, highly motivated team of experts, flat hierarchies, and informal culture.
�� Workplace: Excellent range of machines and equipment.
�� Involvement: Independent project work and room for innovative ideas in applied research.
�� Work-life balance: Benefit from flexible working hours based on trust.
�� Development opportunities: With us, you have the opportunity for individual development through a diverse range of training opportunities.
➕ Advantages: Opportunity to benefit from exciting corporate benefits.
�� Getting there: Good transport connections, parking spaces directly in front of the institute, an e-charging station, and a parking garage.
�� Prospects: The opportunity to write your thesis.

Remuneration is based on the general collective agreement for the employment of temporary staff.
The weekly working hours are between 12 and 20 hours and will be agreed individually during the interview.
The position is initially limited to 12 months, but the aim is to offer longer-term employment alongside your studies.

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. Our tasks are diverse and adaptable – for applicants with disabilities, we work together to find solutions that best promote their abilities.

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.

Ready for a change? Then apply now and make a difference! Once we have received your online application, you will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt. We will then get back to you as soon as possible and let you know what happens next.
