Job Description

CAREER IN MICROTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH – BIG OPPORTUNITIES WITH SMALL STRUCTURES!
CHANGE STARTS WITH US.
Do you want to change the world through science? Then the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFT is the perfect place to start your career!

With around 190 highly qualified employees at our locations in Munich, Oberpfaffenhofen and Regensburg, we combine many years of experience with extensive expertise in microelectronics and microsystems technology. Our wide range of technologies spans from advanced semiconductor processes and MEMS technologies to innovative 3D integration and flexible electronics.

These nano and microtechnologies form the foundation of our diverse fields of expertise, which include sensor technology, circuit design, system solutions with AI, analysis and testing, as well as micropumps.

Through the close collaboration of our experts, not only groundbreaking innovations arise, but also synergies that enable Fraunhofer EMFT to effectively tackle the complex challenges of our time.

The spin-off company SoreAlert ( website) is developing a smart plaster that prevents pressure ulcers before they develop. This helps patients, makes the day-to-day work of carers easier and takes the strain off the healthcare system. A key feature of the smart plaster is its medical-grade firmware, which we wish to test comprehensively using a hardware-in-the-loop test bench.
To support our team in research and development, we are looking for a motivated student to join us with immediate effect.
