Jobbeschreibung

With its focus on future-relevant key technologies and the utilization of results in economy and industry, the Fraunhofer Society plays a central role in the innovation process. As a guide and source of inspiration for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it contributes to shaping our society and our future.

For over 35 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology in Berlin has stood for excellence in production science. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between science and practice in the field of industrial production and offer application-oriented system solutions for the entire spectrum of industrial tasks – from product development to the production process, maintenance of capital goods, and recycling of products to the design and management of factory operations.

In interdisciplinary teams, we are exploring new application fields for both traditional welding processes and modern beam welding processes, coating technologies, and additive manufacturing. By simulating welding processes as well as distortion and residual stresses, we support the rapid introduction of economical, energy-efficient processes in the industry. Our work is focused on designing the joining and coating of new materials and material combinations according to requirements, increasing the quality and reliability of joints and coatings, and improving processes regarding productivity, occupational safety, and environmental and resource conservation.
