As we mainly conduct research for German companies, a good knowledge of German is important for a long-term scientific position with us. We therefore organise German courses for our scientific team if required.
Ilmenau or Erfurt, it depends on the work content. Please note the sites of the institutes on the Ilmenau TU campus or in Erfurt near the tram stop "Windischholzhausen/X-FAB".
You can find more information at Sites.
Mobile working is possible to a certain extent and depending on the specific work content by agreement. For a number of research and development solutions, you will have a lot to do with hardware and test equipment, which we can only keep in Ilmenau or Erfurt.
In general, we prefer to have you regularly on site in our team. Together we explore new solutions with you and the devil is usually in the detail. Short distances and group dynamics are the best way to make progress.
