Research Assistant (f/m/d) - Experimental Hybrid Additive Manufacturing and Microstructure Characterization - V000011619

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description . Our Profile. The Chair for Digital Additive Production (DAP) at RWTH Aachen University collaborates with industrial and scientific partners to investigate the fundamental interrelationships of digital and additive manufacturing, transferring these findings to industrial applications. Our research encompasses a wide range of topics, from component design and process development to production and the application properties of additively manufactured components. Additionally, we focus on accompanying processes such as design, quality management, and the digital representation of the entire process chain. Our service portfolio is further enhanced by individual consulting and training services. Through industry projects, we work closely with partners from various sectors—including automotive, aerospace, turbomachinery, life sciences, machinery, tool making, and mold making—to develop and shape the future of digital and additive manufacturing. Furthermore, DAP offers extensive professional and personal development opportunities within a highly motivated team. Your duties and responsibilities. You will work in an ERC-funded project that combines laser-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED) with laser heat treatment and deep rolling in one hybrid process. The goal is to develop novel methods that enable tailoring mechanical properties of metal components directly during manufacturing and
