• You will design and optimize optical setups for exposure of pre-simulated holographic optical elements in application areas such as head-mounted displays, eye-tracking, and holographic optical combiners
• Analysis and evaluation of complex measurement data from optical experiments and simulations will be among your core responsibilities
• As a valuable team member, you will actively collaborate in interdisciplinary development projects with colleagues from various specialized departments
• You will contribute your expertise to implement new technologies and processes in the field of holography

Your profile to impress us:

• You hold a university degree or PhD in physics or a closely related scientific discipline
• Your solid experience with rigorous optical simulation methods (RCWA) or comparable tools in programs such as Virtualab, Zemax, or Matlab sets you apart
• You bring practical experience in volume holography or with optical surface grating structures
• Your sound knowledge in data analysis and statistical evaluation of complex measurement data is particularly valuable for this position
• You are familiar with common data analysis tools and related software
• Your strong teamwork skills and enthusiasm for collaborating in interdisciplinary teams make you an asset to our team
• With your excellent communication skills and cooperative work style, you can master complex project requirements
• Your analytical thinking and structured work approach help you tackle challenging tasks
• You have good German and English language skills, both written and spoken
