Student Assistant*in (f/m/d) in Fibre Laser Development

Student assistant (f/m/d) in fibre laser development

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is a leading centre for contract research and development in the field of laser technology. The ‘Lasers and Optical Systems’ department develops customised laser beam sources for various applications. The fibre laser group, for example, is involved in the development of fibre lasers for quantum technology applications, gravitational wave measurement and climate research. Depending on the application, these systems can be used either on earth, in aeroplanes or in satellites. Both experimental and theoretical tasks are carried out in these subject areas. We are therefore looking for student assistants to support us in various subject areas, depending on their personal interests and current tasks.

What you will do

• Experimental characterisation of optical components and lasers
• Development and conceptualisation of experiments and lasers
• Design and construction of mechanical components and creation of technical drawings
• Simulation of fibre optic effects and design of fibre lasers

What you bring to the table

• You are studying engineering, natural sciences or a comparable degree programme
• You are characterised by a careful, reliable and conscientious way of working.
• Initial experience in the field of laser technology is an advantage, but not essential 

What you can expect

• Interesting insights into the development of beam sources for various application areas, from quantum technology to space travel
• Experience in the field of application-orientated contract research, at the interface between industry and science
• A professional and dynamic working atmosphere
• A creative and interdisciplinary working environment in a highly motivated team
• Excellent machinery and equipment
• Freedom to develop your own ideas, projects for your field of study
• Flexible working hours that allow you to combine your studies and professional practice
• There is the possibility of a scientific thesis (BA, MA, PA) or an internship semester
• Corporate Benefits

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.
