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 01/24
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 hybrid micro-integration and characterization of GaAs-based diode lasers and photonic modules.
Your Tasks
Depending on your assignment to one of these areas, you will take on some of the following tasks:
- 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.
Your Profile
Education and soft skills
- master’s or diploma degree obtained at a university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule) in physics, physical engineering, photonics, microsystems technology or electrical engineering (focus on optoelectronics) or a comparable degree
- independent and extremely careful way of working
- communication and team skills as well as a high degree of initiative
- very good knowledge of German and English, both written and spoken
Experience or knowledge in one or more of the following areas:
- theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the utilization of lasers for scientific or telecommunications applications
- knowledge of laser theory and technology and of optics
- programming skills (Matlab, Python)
Our Offer
- challenging and interdisciplinary activities in a working environment with excellent technical equipment
- a safe and modern workplace on the science campus in Adlershof with excellent public transportation connections
- an informal working atmosphere with open communication and mutual support
- networking with partners from industry and research as well as a professional work organization geared towards the implementation of space projects
- individual development opportunities and further training according to professional and personal needs
- 30 vacation days (based on a five-day week), flexible working hours through flexitime, additional flex days and individual working time agreements
- access to health services on campus (yoga, running club, movement break and soft skills training) via the Adlershof health network
- employment, remuneration and social benefits are based on the collective agreement for the public service (TVöD Bund) including annual special payment, capital-forming benefits (VWL) and company pension scheme (VBL)
FBH actively supports the compatibility of family and career. Particular attention is paid to gender equality. The institute strives to increase the proportion of women in this field. Applications from women are therefore particularly welcome. Severely disabled persons will be given preference if equally qualified. The position can be filled at the earliest possible date and is initially limited to two years.
