Internship: Data Management in Python

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 74 institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 30 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

Developing innovative technology solutions and bringing them to application - that is our goal at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. With our expertise in the development of photonic microsystems, related technologies including nanoelectronics and wireless communication solutions, we create - in flexible and interdisciplinary teams - technologies for innovative products in a wide range of markets such as automotive, industrial and aerospace.

At Fraunhofer IPMS, in the business unit »Emerging Memory Solutions«, new electronic components are being developed. During the characterization of these components on 300 mm silicon wafers, extensive physical measurements generate large amounts of data. Efficient preparation of this data is therefore crucial for short learning cycles. Your role focuses on improving and implementing procedures for the automated processing and visualization of this data using Python.
