• Completed training as a PTA, precision optician or equivalent.
• Ideally experience in the planning and execution of experiments and test series as well as in the preparation, evaluation and interpretation of comprehensive test results
• Familiarity with optical, electrical, mechanical, and software aspects of device and equipment development or use ideally for optical components
• Ideally, background in wafer-level optics, optical injection molding, packaging, coating, electronics, or working under clean room conditions
• Open and result-oriented way of working in an interdisciplinary team

We offer:

• A dynamic and future-oriented company at the interface between science and application in a highly innovative area of activity in the optical industry
• A highly motivated, interdisciplinary team in a deep tech environment
