Research Associate for Electro-optical Modulators for Space Communication | wiss. Mitarbeiterin bzw. Mitarbeiter für „Design Electro-optical Modulators for Space Communication"

Job Summary

This role is based at the Institute of Aerospace Engineering at TU Dresden, focusing on the design and development of electro-optical modulators using Multiple-Quantum-Well structures for space applications. As a Research Associate, you will be responsible for the entire development lifecycle, from scientific literature research and simulation-based semiconductor design to experimental implementation within a cleanroom environment. Key daily activities include growing semiconductor structures via Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), performing microstructuring processes such as etching and bonding, and conducting material characterization using spectroscopic methods. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at a prestigious 'University of Excellence' in close collaboration with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). It is an ideal role for a researcher looking to combine theoretical physics with hands-on semiconductor manufacturing and space technology, supported by flexible working hours and a comprehensive public service benefits package.
