Working student - Characterization of Micromagnets (all genders)

The Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology ISIT is one of Europe's most modern research institutes for microelectronics and microsystems technology and offers a future-oriented research and production environment for a total of 190 employees and several site partners in Itzehoe with a technology-oriented equipment pool, two clean rooms and approx. 700 m² of laboratory space. As a bridge builder between research and pre-development on the one hand and commercial application on the other, ISIT in Itzehoe is an exciting employer with innovative prospects for the future.

The focus of the »MEMS Applications« business unit is on the design, development and manufacture of application-relevant MEMS components and MEMS systems. In the »Agglomerated Microsystems« group, MEMS parts and components are produced using the patented PowderMEMS technology. A core competence is the integration of porous microstructures on wafers for various microtechnological applications. Further information on the »Agglomerated Microsystems« working group and the PowderMEMS process can also be found here :

What you will do

After comprehensive training, you will independently develop Python-based software for an in-house developed measurement system for the magnetic characterization of micromagnets. The goal is to automate the measurement process at the wafer level. You will implement measurement sequences, integrate hardware interfaces, collect and process measurement data, and document your work. In addition, you will perform measurements with the developed software, prepare the data obtained, and report to the PowderMEMS group.

What you bring to the table

• Currently studying computer science, electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or a related natural science or engineering degree program
• Ideally, experience in Python programming
• Advantageous : basic knowledge of magnetism and magnetic materials
• The ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new problems and enjoy taking on responsibility in a team
• A high degree of independence, initiative, and commitment

What you can expect
