The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research institutions throughout Germany and is the world’s leading applied research organization. Around 30 800 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.0 billion euros.
Who we are ...
Our primary focuses at Fraunhofer IWES are on wind energy and hydrogen technologies. Our institute is home to more than 300 scientists and employees as well as over 100 students from over 30 countries pursuing careers in applied research and development at nine sites. We secure investments in technological developments through validation, shorten innovation cycles, accelerate certification procedures, and increase planning accuracy by means of innovative measurement methods.
This team is looking for you...
You will join the »Software Development« unit at our location in Bremen or Bremerhaven. We get involved flexibly in a wide range of different projects across the institute’s various departments. Our focus lies on estimating the workload and feasibility of features to be implemented, planning the implementation, and the implementation itself. At present, the team is made up of five research associates and a student assistant. We support each other irrespective of our projects and backgrounds. A culture of open exchange and cooperation, even beyond team boundaries and sites, are particularly important to us.
What you will do
These duties await you...
You will design, develop, and maintain a web-based user interface for monitoring different in-house software applications. While doing so, you will be responsible for the development and integration of all essential interfaces and technologies (e.g., SQL databases or REST API). You will also ensure that existing processes can easily be traced so that users can be guided through them in a simple and reliable way. Furthermore, you will inform users about new and established features and show them how to use them.
No two days at work are ever the same!
In addition, you will continue to develop and improve the software, contributing your ideas and creativity to continuously introduce new features. You will connect our Python software packages to enable the collection of measurement data and the monitoring of measuring instruments. You will verify the integrity and consistency of the data and implement quality control tools. Throughout your work, you will always be mindful of the fact that the software you are developing runs in critical environments and can be set up quickly.
What you bring to the table
What is your specialist background?
You should have completed your diploma or master’s degree in the field of IT or a similar subject. Or perhaps you have completed a bachelor’s degree in the same field and have several years of professional experience? That would also be great! Are you familiar with Python and JavaScript? Do you have experience in web development, including REST? We would be delighted if you could impart your expertise from day 1!
Your profile is complemented by...
Are you also familiar with the database language SQL? It would be an advantage if frameworks such as FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and Angular JS were not a new topic for you. Do not worry if you do not have all the skills in your repertoire just yet– we will find the perfect place for you to start. Here at IWES, we operate on an international level – a good command of German and English will make your day-to-day work easier.
What you can expect
How would you like to develop?
We support you on your professional journey. Whether personally, professionally, or methodically, we find the right qualification measures for you. It is also possible to be responsible for your own doctorate here. We offer you our full support! Do you want to immerse yourself in additional fields and work independently to drive new topics forward? With us, you get to shape your range of duties actively!
What we can offer you ...
Our flextime and core time system allows you to plan your working day flexibly. In addition, you also have the option to work remotely. Not sure who can look after your children in an emergency? We help by offering emergency childcare. Interested in employee discounts for events, clothes, vacations, etc.? With us, you can select from a varied range of offers and easily take advantage of them for yourself via an app. For sustainable mobility, you can also benefit from the Deutschland-Ticket as a job ticket.
We set store by diversity and equality!
Our open institute culture as well as mutual tolerance and respect ensure that every person feels comfortable with us from the start. We achieve this, for example, through our onboarding program for new employees as well as by raising awareness of and providing training on diversity and equal opportunity issues. We firmly believe that diversity is key to our success. Join us and experience this for yourself!
