Master-thesis: Digital Laboratory Assistant for

vor 3 Wochen


Aachen, Deutschland Laser Technology Vollzeit

For the surface finishing of components in batch sizes 1 to 10 using laser polishing, the process parameters must be optimized in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner. The range of tasks involved in manual process parameter development consists of the pre-selection of suitable parameters, process implementation and measurement as well as the final evaluation of the experiments. The transfer of the human laboratory assistant into the digital world is part of your work.

What you will do

Illustration of a laboratory technician's procedure for developing test parameters using suitable software modules

The suitability of the digital laboratory assistant is tested on a fully automatable, industrial laser polishing system. This includes in particular:
Preselection of parameters for given parameter limits

Evaluation of the parameters based on measured target values

Development of the parameters using experience-based optimization strategies

**Benchmark process parameter development**: human lab technician vs. digital lab technician

What you bring to the table

Ideally, you can already program in Python and have strong analytical thinking skills

Knowledge of laser technology is an advantage, but not essential

What you can expect

Practice-oriented thesis in an innovative working environment

A creative, diverse, multidisciplinary team with in-depth knowledge

Tasks with responsibility and creative freedom

Close cooperation between science and industry

First-class equipment in the laboratories and offices

Good transport links (bus connections, free parking garage)

Flexible working hours for a better work-study balance

The position is temporary until completion of the thesis.

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.
