Working Student / Student Assistant for Electrophysical Software Development in Python

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS . With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

The Center Nanoelectronic Technologies (CNT) conducts research on 300-mm wafers for microchip manufacturers, suppliers, equipment producers, and R&D partners within cleanroom and laboratory facilities at the "An der Bartlake" site. In our innovative " Emerging Memory Solutions" department , we are shaping the future of electronics through the development of cutting-edge electronic components. The characterization of these components on state-of-the-art 300-mm silicon wafers generates vast amounts of data through extensive electrical measurements. Efficiently processing and preparing this data is crucial for achieving short learning cycles and rapid insights. Your task will be to implement advanced methods for automated data processing and visualization, actively contributing to the optimization of our processes.

What you will do

• Software Development : Implement new features in the areas of data visualization, data processing, and data automation.
• Application of Expertise : Apply your physics knowledge to create functional program code.
• Quality Assurance : Fix bugs in the existing code.
• Documentation : Create and maintain documentation for your work.
• Team Coordination : Actively communicate with your team and coordinate shared tasks.

What you bring to the table

• Academic Background: You are currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, and you possess a solid understanding of technical concepts.

• Programming Skills: You have initial experience in object-oriented programming, particularly with Python, and are motivated to further develop this knowledge.

• Tool Expertise: You are familiar with Python libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib and know how to use them for data-intensive applications.

• Technical Skills: You can quickly understand existing code and ideally have experience with Git to work efficiently within a team.

• Language Proficiency: You have an excellent command of English (C1-C2 level) and are open and motivated to further improve your German language skills.

• Personal Strengths: You demonstrate a high level of commitment, reliability, and an autodidactic, independent, and structured approach to your work.
