Job Summary

This role involves leading the technical operations and development of the entire technological and metrological infrastructure within the High-Frequency Systems department at the University of Wuppertal. The Technical Lead ensures the uninterrupted and safe operation of advanced laboratory facilities, including DFG equipment centers and large-scale devices like broadband optoelectronic testers and 6G laboratory equipment (AWG, high-frequency oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers). Day-to-day tasks include managing and overseeing construction projects, performing complex metrological analysis of operational disturbances, and independently organizing the installation, maintenance, and repair of laboratory systems (electronics, vacuum, climate control). A crucial aspect is developing custom software solutions for controlling laboratory equipment using languages like C++ and Python, conducting chip-packaging processes (wire bonding, board design), and ensuring comprehensive laboratory safety compliance (chemical, electrical, laser safety) in both German and English.
