Jobbeschreibung

Postdoc/Engineer in acoustics for laser processing (80-100%)

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting‑edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well‑being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

The Laboratory of Advanced Materials Processing (LAMP) is a multidisciplinary research unit that develops innovative functional modification of materials by beam (e.g. laser light, electrons) and plasma induced processing. LAMP provides full cycle technology development, starting from novel materials, deep understanding of the background physics of beam‑matter interactions, development of automated AI/ML systems for novel materials processing and quality insurance. The lab combines additive manufacturing, large‑scale laser micro‑processing, multiscale modelling and AI/ML for the quality monitoring/control, at the end offering to the society novel nanostructured materials, their shape‑forming and integration into devices.

R&D of acoustic system (acoustics/multi‑physics simulation, experimental planning, setup, measurements, analysis)

Conceptualization and realization of novel setups (hardware integration, CAD design, assembly, etc.)

Software development (data acquisition and processing, system communication)

Your profile

• FH/University degree (Master or PhD) Acoustics/Electronics/Engineering or equivalent
• Experience: Acoustics (active, passive), laser processing
• English, French and German as a plus
