The Laser Metal Deposition department at Fraunhofer ILT works on application-oriented research projects with partners from industry. We cover a wide range of applications, from coating and repair to additive manufacturing. Consequently, the topics for theses and project work are equally diverse. Currently, we have openings in programming, process optimization, sensor integration, material studies, and many more. If you are interested in applied research, feel free to contact us!

What you will do

• We have several interesting topics for thesis projects in the field of laser metal deposition, which always include:
  • Research and documentation of the state of the art
  • Independent planning and execution of experiments
  • Execution of various processes
  • Documentation and discussion of the results

What you bring to the table

• You are studying engineering, computer science, or a comparable technical degree program
• Interest in industry-related project work in application-oriented research
• Independent, organized, and structured working style
• Initial experience in additive manufacturing, laser metal deposition, laser technology, and materials science is advantageous but not mandatory

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.
