Research Associate: Data-Driven Production Improvement | Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (m/w/d): Datenbasierte Produktionsverbesserung

Job Summary

As a Research Associate at the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB, you will play a pivotal role in the 'Digitalization of Battery Cell Production' department. Your day-to-day responsibilities involve designing and implementing data-driven use cases across the entire battery value chain, from raw material databases to finished cells. You will develop data preprocessing pipelines, build machine learning and AI models, and deploy these solutions to optimize manufacturing processes. This role requires close interdisciplinary collaboration with production experts to translate complex data into actionable industrial improvements. What makes this position unique is the opportunity to work on a high-profile 'lighthouse' project shaping the future of European battery technology. Additionally, the role offers a clear pathway for pursuing a PhD within the Fraunhofer network, combined with the stability of public service benefits (TVöD) and a strong focus on work-life balance through flexible working hours and home office options.
