Hello future colleague,
The Christmas season is just around the corner—with lights, the smell of cookies, and a little breather at the end of the year. We at Fraunhofer ILT are also taking some time off over the holidays. But don't worry: exciting opportunities await you in the new year!
We may not be building lightsabers to fight the dark side of the Force, but many of our technologies still sound like science fiction. At Fraunhofer ILT, we are shaping the future of laser-based technologies – from additive manufacturing and digital production to innovative applications in research and industry.
Please note:
We will be closed for the Christmas holidays between December 23, 2025, and January 4, 2026.
During this period, applications will not be reviewed, processed, or forwarded.
