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.
Our Joint Lab Quantum Photonic Components is world-leading in developing compact and robust diode laser modules for quantum technology applications, e.g. in space. We are currently looking for a scientific employee (m/f/d) for the areas of (i) design and development as well as (ii) hybrid microintegration and characterization of GaAs diode laser devices and modules.
