Student (f/m/x) - Modelling and implementing of permanent magnetic structures
Job Description
Req ID: 5019
Place of work: Hamburg
Starting date: 01.06.2026
Career level: Student research project and final thesis
Type of employment: Part time, Full-time
Duration of contract: 6 Monate
Remuneration: Remuneration is in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector - Federal Government (TVöD-Bund)
Hint: Security clearance as well as the willingness to security clearance pursuant to §§ 8 ff. Security Clearance Act (SÜG) is a condition for employment at DLR
Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 12,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!
At the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm, we develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies and bring them to prototype maturity together with industry. In addition, we are driving forward the transfer to aeronautics, digitalisation, energy, security and transport. We have an interdisciplinary approach: Theoretical basic research and experimental tests meet engineering implementation.
What to expect
The Department for the Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems (QT-IMN) develops technologies for the implementation and miniaturization of quantum systems. In particular, the challenging requirements of the aerospace industry are taken into account and possibilities to increase the scalability of the systems are explored.
At our site in Hamburg, we are collaborating with start-ups that are developing ion trap-based quantum computers for the DLR. As part of this collaboration, we operate a clean room user-facility with microsystems technology equipment. The equipment is maintained and operated by us and we also grant access to our project partners for the development of their quantum computers. Within a DLR project, microfabricated magnetic structures are investigated for quantum computers.
Your tasks
Your profile
We offer
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
We look forward to getting to know you!
