Student assistant "PEM electrolysis"
As one of the world's largest solar energy research institutes, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE makes a significant contribution to a sustainable, economical, secure, and socially equitable energy supply worldwide. Our goal is to advance the energy transition by providing concrete, implementable technological solutions through excellent research results, successful industrial collaborations, and spin-offs. To this end, our ~1,300 employees conduct research in four key areas: energy supply, energy distribution, energy storage, and energy utilization. Fraunhofer ISE's state-of-the-art R&D infrastructure, with 22,300 m² of laboratory space, enables cutting-edge research at an international level.
Be part of change
Would you like to actively contribute to the energy transition and gain practical experience alongside your studies? Join us and help turn this goal into reality. In the “Electrolysis Components” group, we are working on one of the key areas of the energy transition: renewable hydrogen production. Our research focuses on membrane electrolysis (PEM and AEM). For the wide range of measurement tasks involving our in-house developed electrolysis test cell, we are looking for a student who works independently and in a structured manner. We are looking for a student assistant to join our “Electrolysis Components” group at the earliest possible date. Your responsibilities will include: You will conduct scientific measurements using our test stands. You evaluate the results and present the measurement data in a clear, organized way. You will prepare PowerPoint presentations to visualize and present the measurement results. You will familiarize yourself with the functionality of our in-house developed test stands and contribute to necessary modifications. You will support the design and procurement of various components and parts for our electrolysis test cell. You will support the sales of our in-house developed electrolysis test cell by preparing quotations and processing orders.

What you contribute
You are studying in a technical or scientific field. Knowledge of PEM electrolysis is an advantage, but not a prerequisite. You are open and approachable, value different perspectives, and contribute to a trusting and collaborative working environment. You enjoy understanding technical questions and challenges and developing suitable solutions. Even when faced with challenging tasks, you remain persistent and goal-oriented and consistently pursue them until the desired result is achieved. You organize your tasks independently, work in a structured and reliable manner, and place a high value on the quality of your work. You are confident in using MS Office in your day-to-day work. You have very good German and good English skills, which you have already successfully demonstrated in practice.
