FWT Trainee Program

The FWT (Manufacturing and Materials Technology) Trainee Program is aimed at master's students who want to gain practical research experience early on and prepare for their careers in a targeted manner. As a trainee, you will receive structured training in measurement technology, simulation, project management, and scientific work, and you will become part of one of our research groups. Up to two trainee positions are available in each of the Cutting and Additive Manufacturing teams.

In addition to technical qualifications, you will benefit from soft skills training, your own workstation with modern equipment, and participation in internal institute events. Close supervision and a strong practical focus open up excellent opportunities for subsequent doctoral studies or direct entry into responsible projects in industry.

The program is designed to be flexible so that lectures, exam periods, internships, or even stays abroad can be optimally integrated.
