Scientific Researcher / PhD Candidate (Electrical Engineering) | Elektroingenieur (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This BMBF-funded position at the TU Dresden offers a Scientific Researcher/PhD opportunity focused on developing cutting-edge high-temperature sensors for large thermohydraulic test facilities. The core mission involves designing, improving, and implementing concepts for wall-flush sensors capable of withstanding 300°C in water/steam environments at saturation pressure. Day-to-day responsibilities include sensor processing, utilizing techniques like ceramic thick-film technology, developing robust joining processes (e.g., ceramic to stainless steel), and comprehensive sensor evaluation through characterization methods like X-ray analysis and autoclave testing, all supported by simulation. Candidates must hold a very good university degree in Electrical Engineering or related fields, possess strong knowledge of electronic packaging and high-temperature joining technology, and demonstrate excellent communication skills in both German and English. This role provides a unique path for scientific qualification (PhD) within a leading research environment until late 2028.
