• Advising scientific staff on electronic measurement tasks,
• Maintenance and repair of electronic equipment.

Your qualification:

• Completed university studies (diploma or master's degree) in electrical engineering or related disciplines or successfully completed vocational training as an electronics technician (f/m/d) or mechatronic technician (f/m/d) or in a comparable electrotechnical field of activity.

Your knowledge and skills:

• Several years of experience in the above-mentioned field of activity desirable,
• Precise, independent work according to formwork plan or drawing,
• Technical understanding and manual dexterity,
• Good knowledge of German and English,
