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 “Production Quality”, we focus on data-driven optimization of production processes with the help of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Laser processes enable highly precise and flexible material processing and are therefore crucial for innovative fields of technology such as semiconductor manufacturing and microsystems engineering and medical technology. The optimization of laser processes is becoming increasingly important, but also more complex, due to rising demands on performance, precision, quality, and sustainability. Bayesian optimization (BO) - a special machine learning approach - represents a promising alternative to classic methods of process optimization due to its adaptive decision making and data efficiency. In this thesis, a BO algorithm for the optimization of laser processes is to be developed, applied, and tested as part of a feasibility study. The aim is to determine the industrial maturity of BO and investigate how this can be increased in the future regarding its establishment in production engineering practice.
