The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) is an application-oriented research institute in the fields of high-frequency electronics, photonics and quantum physics. It researches electronic and optical components, modules and systems based on compound semiconductors. These devices are key enablers that address the needs of today’s society in fields like communications, energy, health, and mobility. It covers the entire value chain from design to ready-for-delivery systems.
Reference number 02/24
Our Joint Lab Quantum Photonic Components is a global leader in the development of compact and robust diode laser modules for quantum technology applications, e.g. in space. For this research work we are looking for employees (m/f/d) for the areas of (i) design and development, (ii) hybrid micro-integration and characterization and (iii) product assurance and project management.
Tasks
Depending on your assignment to one of these areas, you will take on some of the following tasks:
- Based on CAE-methods you develop highly complex diode laser modules and their components in cooperation with our network partners.
- You carry out micro-integration of highly complex diode laser modules and their components with ultra-precise robots, and you participate in the continuous development of the robotic integration environment.
- You characterize the electro-optical performance of the diode laser modules and their components using measurement methods tailored to the application requirements, and you participate in the development of new measurement methods.
- You carry out the stress tests of the diode laser modules and their components that are relevant for use in space and for the qualification of hardware for specific mission scenarios.
- You develop and control the processes and documents relevant for product assurance, and you accompany and document the entire manufacturing process for the diode laser modules and their components.
- You take over the project management for projects in which flight hardware is realized, and you coordinate the work at the individual departments in-house and with the network partners.
