Jobbeschreibung

The Chair of Laser Technology LLT at RWTH Aachen University, together with the cooperating Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, is Europe's leading centre for basic and contract research in the field of laser technology. In close co-operation with partners from industry and research, the Fraunhofer ILT is working, among other things, on the further development of the additive manufacturing process Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M ). With PBF-LB/M, metallic components with almost any complex geometry can be additively manufactured using a layer-by-layer structure. The versatile range of applications includes components in the automotive industry, aerospace and medical technology.

What you will do

• You will work on experimental process development with an innovative laboratory setup
• Your area of responsibility will include the investigation of basic defect locations
• You will manufacture initial components in order to characterise their properties
• You will contribute to the optimisation of processes

What you bring to the table

• You are a student of industrial engineering, mechanical engineering or a related degree programme
• You are characterised by an independent way of working and enjoy practical laboratory work
• Interest in a scientific-methodical approach is a matter of course for you
• Your ability to work in a team enables you to collaborate successfully with colleagues
• You also have an analytical mindset that helps you solve complex problems

What you can expect

Team spirit: Creative, interdisciplinary environment with a motivated team, flat hierarchies and a “you” culture.
Workplace: Excellent machinery and equipment as well as first-class office facilities.
Co-creation: Practice-oriented final thesis in an innovative applied research environment.
️ Work-life balance: Benefit from flexible working hours on a trust basis.
Advantages: Opportunity to benefit from exciting corporate benefits.
Travel: Good transport connections, parking spaces directly in front of the institute, an e-charging station and a parking garage.

The position is temporary until completion of the final thesis.

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.
