Student assistant: Continuous Development of Web-Based App for Smart Optics Production(m/w/x)

City: Aachen Date: May 13, 2025 # Student assistant: Continuous Development of Web-Based App for Smart Optics Production At the Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, we work with more than 530 employees every day to make the production of the future more digital, more flexible and more sustainable. In the department »Glass and Precision Manufacturing«, we deal with the replicative manufacturing of glass components. High-precision components are used more and more frequently, for example in the manufacture of optics, laser system components, medical technology, and tool manufacturing. Among others, precision glass molding (PGM) is a replicative production process which is often suitable for the manufacture of optical components. The process must be monitored via sensors installed on the machine and a web-based app that allows visualization of the parameters during the process. **What you will do** * Processing and filtering of data from sensors integrated into a precision glass molding machine * Development and improvement of a Windows App designed for production process data logging by reading RS-232/Modbus serial interfaces * Development of a Web application used to visualize, update and analyze data via calls to the Web API * Support by database integration and information exchange **What you bring to the table** * You are studying mechatronics engineering, computational engineering science, computer science, data science, engineering informatics, informatics or a comparable subject * Initial experience in designing and developing web applications is a plus * Proficiency in Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, HTML and CSS is advantageous * You have initial experience in .NET Core Framework and database, such as MySQL * You have basic knowledge of machine learning concepts and applications * You are familiar with common version control tools, such as Git * Familiarity with Linux and C++ is a plus * A high degree of motivation, initiative, and team spirit * Very good English language skills, German is a plus **What you can expect** * Collaboration in innovative research projects and the chance to implement your knowledge from your studies in practice * You become part of the team from the very beginning, can contribute your ideas and take on tasks on your own responsibility * Flexible working to combine studies and job in the best possible way * The opportunity to write your practice-oriented thesis with us We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
