Optimize and Develop Inline Microscopy for Tool Wear Detection

vor 4 Wochen


Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

At Fraunhofer IPT, we are driven by the automation of tool wear detection in the department of High Performance Cutting. To address this challenge, you will optimize and develop a microscope for inline microscopy of tool wear. This project aims to reduce the time and cost associated with offline microscopy, which is currently a laborious and costly process.

Within this scope, you will work on site in our institute or machine park, collaborating with our team to develop a solution that combines microscopy with deep learning-based approaches for automated tool wear detection. Your tasks will include assessing requirements with industrial end users and current inline microscope developments, defining fundamental functions and technical solutions, and developing CAD parts and assemblies.

As a successful candidate, you will have a strong background in mechanical or mechatronic engineering, product development, or a comparable subject. Experience in CAD is required, while skills in Siemens NX are advantageous. You will also need to demonstrate a high degree of creativity, independence, and motivation, as well as good language skills in German and/or English.

We offer ideal conditions for practical experience alongside your studies, professional supervision, and collaboration in a dedicated team. Our state-of-the-art machine park is equipped with edge cloud systems and 5G infrastructure, providing a flexible working environment that allows you to combine your studies and job in the best possible way.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and welcome all applications, regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation, and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.

Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process, focusing on developing key technologies that are vital for the future. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, we help shape society now and in the future.
