Research Associate / Doctoral Candidate (Electronic Packaging) | wiss. Mitarbeiterin bzw. Mitarbeiter / Doktorandin bzw. Doktorand (m/w/d)

Job Summary

The Technical University of Dresden (TUD), an Excellence University, is seeking a Research Associate/Doctoral Candidate to join the BMBF-funded 'ROBINIE' junior research group within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. This role focuses on developing, improving, and implementing concepts for wall-flush sensors designed to measure condensation film thickness in large-scale thermo-hydraulic test facilities. The sensors must withstand extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 300°C in water/steam environments at saturation pressure. Day-to-day responsibilities include sensor processing (e.g., thick-film ceramic technology), developing suitable joining processes (e.g., ceramic-to-stainless steel), evaluating sensor function, and characterizing assemblies for tightness and resistance using methods like X-ray analysis and autoclave tests. The candidate will support their work with simulations, collaborate with scientific and industrial partners, and publish research findings nationally and internationally. This position offers a unique opportunity for scientific qualification, typically leading to a PhD, in a highly practical and dynamic research environment.
