Master Thesis / Full Time or Working Student / Part Time – Munich (Forschungszentrum Garching)
THE MISSION
We want to Enable economical quantum tech products for disruptive applications and accelerate the second quantum revolution and the world´s transition to sustainable quantum technologies.
Your task will be to do market research in the fields of (photonic) quantum technologies to identify future markets for our quantum sensors. This may cover quantum communication, quantum computation, academic research as well as applications in the life science and chemical industries – basically everything where light detection is of importance! In addition to literature research, you will contact potential customers and obtain practical information that directly helps us in our current and future developments. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, independent thinker, and interested in Quantum Technolgies. This position is full-time and needs to be based at the campus in Garching.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- You will do literature research to identify potential markets and applications
- You will contact potential customers and research groups on and off campus to acquire information about their needs (efficiency, wavelength, pixel, jitter, ..)
- You will dig into these applications, understand and prepare your findings to both the business and device development department
RELEVANT SKILLS
We value a creative mindset and a go-getter attitude. Hard skills can always be learned.
