Why us?
For our site in Dortmund, we are looking for an R&D Engineer (f/m/d) to strengthen our Research & Development team. You will take new devices and processes from the first experiment all the way to production, combining hands-on lab work with technical responsibility for customer projects.
Innolume was one of the first companies to bring quantum-dot semiconductor devices to market. Today, we develop optoelectronic devices based on InGaAs/GaAs quantum-well and quantum-dot technologies for wavelengths from 780 to 1350 nm, many of them tailored to individual customer requirements. Our two in-house MBE reactors allow us to grow our own epitaxial structures for both development and volume production. As we move towards high-volume manufacturing, this role offers the opportunity to shape our next generation of products from the very first idea.
What We Offer
-
Technical ownership of your own NRE projects and direct contact with our customers
-
A varied role spanning research, development, production and customer projects
-
Participation in scientific conferences and trade shows
-
An international, multicultural team with flat hierarchies
-
Short decision-making paths and close collaboration across departments
-
Individual training and continuous learning opportunities
-
Flexible working hours and 30 days of annual leave
-
From the 7th month of employment, additional benefits
