Aachen, Deutschland Production Technology Vollzeit

At the Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, we work with more than 530 employees every day to make the production of the future more digital, more flexible and more sustainable. In the department »fiber composite technology«, we deal with the process and machine development for technical products made from fiber reinforced plastics.

Within the scope of your thesis, you will investigate solutions for the start procedure of our recycling process for thermoplastic composites. The process allows regaining the valuable carbon fiber tape in good shape, preserving over 90% of its mechanical performance. Depending on the creation of a bachelor or master thesis the exact scope of your thesis may vary. Here you partly work on your tasks on site in our institute / in our machine park.

**What you will do**
- Support of our research on recycling thermoplastic fiber-reinforced composites
- Implementation of feasible solutions for the start procedure of our recycling process

**What you bring to the table**
- Experience in technical drawing/CAD software and design of experiment (DoE) is helpful
- Skills in conceptual thinking are advantageous
- A high degree of initiative, independence and motivation
- Good language skills in German and/or English

**What you can expect**
- Ideal conditions for practical experience alongside your studies
- Professional supervision and collaboration in a dedicated team
- A state-of-the-art machine park equipped with edge cloud systems and 5G infrastructure
- Flexible working to combine study and job in the best possible way

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
