WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Curious people who like to make ideas work.

We welcome working students, bachelor’s and master’s students, and experienced professionals.

You might arrive from computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or nanotechnology. What matters is a sound theoretical foundation, practical experience and the drive to move between disciplines when the problem calls for it.

WHERE YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE

One instrument. Many ways to shape it.

Our work spans the complete path from an early scientific question to electronics, software, vacuum hardware and a working experiment.

Electronics

Develop digital and analog electronics for ion optics, measurement and instrument control.

Software

Work from microcontrollers and FPGAs through to control interfaces and application software.

Mechanical design

Design and build vacuum components, ion sources and ion guides for new instrument generations.

Experiments

Run or support scientific experiments that turn CIBD concepts into reproducible results.

Communication

Help explain our technology and strengthen public-relations activities around the team.

YOUR QUALIFICATION & PASSION

Think rigorously. Work practically. Own the result.

We value people who are comfortable in the lab and take responsibility for moving work forward. Initiative, reliability and a constructive DIY attitude matter just as much as discipline-specific expertise.

Hands-on

You enjoy practical laboratory work and learning directly from the instrument.

Self-directed

You bring initiative, personal responsibility and the reliability to finish what you start.

Collaborative

You share knowledge freely and enjoy solving problems with people from other fields.

Entrepreneurial

You are open to the pace and opportunity of turning research into a growing high-tech company.

WHAT WE OFFER

Room to contribute now—and grow with us.

Interdisciplinary work

Join a highly motivated spin-off team in an exciting high-tech field, with short paths between science and engineering.

Flexible hours

Shape your working time around the role, the experiment and the stage of your studies or career.

A long-term perspective

If the collaboration is a good match, we are very open to continuing and developing it over time.
