Maintaining, optimizing and customizing of experimental equipment (3D printers, laser cutters, milling machines, CNC machines, robotic arms)
Assistance in experimental setups and developing new fabrication techniques
Training and experimental support for group members, e.g. usage of equipment
Documentation, rendering, imaging and modelling, e.g. with Rhino 3D
Collaborate with other research groups in the field of Computer Graphics and Soft Matter Physics to utilize other equipment such as universal testing machines
Mediating interactions with our Scientific Service Units (e.g. Machine Shop) or external suppliers

Your Profile

Completed education in Architecture, Engineering, Digital Fabrication or any other relevant background
Substantial practical experience with fabrication techniques and machines beyond industry standard
Any previous experience in Digital Fabrication/Geometric Computing is beneficial
Expertise in CAD software and 3D modeling tools (e.g. Rhino 3D, Grasshopper) and G-code programming for CNC machines and 3D printers
A willingness to learn and an interest in computational design is essential
Experience in scripting programming languages, such as Python
A knowledge of numerical simulation and optimization tools is beneficial but not essential
