About The Company
Fraunhofer IGD is the international leading institute for applied research in visual computing. Visual computing is image- and model-based information technology and includes computer graphics and computer vision, as well as virtual and augmented reality. In simple terms, the Fraunhofer researchers in Darmstadt, Rostock, and Kiel are turning information into images and extracting information from images. In cooperation with its partners, technical solutions and market-relevant products are created. Prototypes and integrated solutions are developed in accordance with customized requirements. In doing so, Fraunhofer IGD places users at the forefront, providing them with technical solutions to facilitate computer work and make it more efficient. Owing to its numerous innovations, Fraunhofer IGD raises man-machine interaction to a new level. Man is able to work in a more result-oriented and effective way by means of the computer and visual computing developments.
About the Role

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft plays a central role in the innovation process by focusing on key technologies of relevance to the future and on the utilization of the results in business and industry. As a trailblazer and driving force for innovative developments and scientific excellence, it helps to shape our society and our future.

 

For over 35 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology in Berlin has stood for excellence in production science. We are dedicated to combining science and practice in the field of industrial production and offer application-oriented system solutions for the entire range of industrial tasks - from product development to the production process, the maintenance of capital goods and the recycling of products through to the design and management of factory operations.

 

In the Manufacturing Technologies department, which is part of the Production Systems division, we work on the development, provision and adaptation of production and manufacturing technologies for the manufacture of innovative products. We develop new machines and processing strategies on behalf of customers, optimize existing production systems and implement future-oriented tool concepts. Our core areas of expertise are machining technology, fine machining, cleaning and blasting processes, additive manufacturing as well as production and machine measurement technology.

 

What you will do

 

As part of the mandatory internship, you can be assigned to various areas of manufacturing technology. You will provide support in the areas of mechanical processing, in particular preparation and processing with CNC machine tools, and thus gain initial experience in industry-related research. You will work on current research and development projects and support the development of new systems and processes. To this end, you will examine the state of the art and the market situation, among other things. You will identify potential suppliers, dimension the required system components, and design them independently.

 

Other tasks within the scope of the mandatory internship may include:

 

  • Varied work in areas ranging from manufacturing to design and FE simulation to programming
  • Working on CNC machine tools
  • Planning, setting up, and evaluating test series
  • Collaborating on and supporting current research and development projects
  • Researching relevant topics and processing the results
