The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) is the National Metrology Institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with scientific and technical service tasks. It furthers progress and reliability in metrology for society, economy and science.
For Working Group "Length Graduation" of Department "Dimensional Nanometrology" in Braunschweig, we are looking for a
graduated physicist or graduated engineer
(electrical or mechanical engineering - or similar - Technical University)
to join us as soon as possible for a research project in the field of dimensional precision metrology. The post is limited to three years. The tasks are in compliance with the characteristics of Salary Group IIa BAT, the remuneration will be paid according to the regulations of the TVöD. It is possible to obtain a doctor's degree at a remuneration of 85%.
Our profile:
Working Group "Length Graduation" deals with fundamental investigations and methods, as well as with the development of equipment for high-precision length- and position metrology on lithography masks and length standards with measurement uncertainties in the nm range. For this purpose, a vacuum length comparator is operated; by means of targeted further developments in the fields of interferometry, high-resolution optical structure probing and error compensation procedures, it makes it possible to meet the increased requirements which have occurred in position metrology due to the introduction of new lithography processes. We work in a dedicated team and have access to an excellent infrastructure.
Tasks:
You will be dealing with the development and experimental investigation of high-resolution optical-microscopic probing procedures for the localisation of nanostructures on lithography masks and with the integration of the probing system into the measurement process of the vacuum length comparator. Furthermore, you will thoroughly study the analysis of deviations in high-precision measurements as well as in the achievable measurement uncertainty and which result from the probing system on the one hand, and the surface topography of the measuring objects on the other hand. Your tasks comprise independent, as well as team-oriented scientific work and the presentation and publication of the results within an international scope.
Requirements:
The tasks require completed university studies of physics or engineering (electrical or mechanical engineering, Technical University) with the grade "good" or "very good". Ideally, you have practical experience and extended knowledge in one of the following fields: applied optics or dimensional metrology. You are dedicated and able to work in a team; you have good knowledge of the English language and would like to work on a cutting-edge research topic within a project involving leading industrial partners.
Fitness for working in a measuring room and in a cleanroom is required.
