Career at PTW

In Germany, every second job is linked to production. It is therefore important to regularly production systems and manufacturing technologies and to make them more intelligent, efficient and sustainable through innovations.

We are one of the leading research institutes in the field of application-oriented production research and make a major contribution to the further development of production technology in Germany.

Our strength lies in our interdisciplinarity. In four research groups we investigate technologies and management for modern production. We research solutions at the hardware and software level that will make industrial processes more efficient, digital and sustainable. The cross-group collaboration of our research groups is the key to synergies and innovations.

In addition to current research projects with numerous industry partners, we also have two learning factories of our own: The ETA factory (Energy Efficiency, Technology and Application Center) and the process learning factory CiP(Center for Industrial Productivity). These lighthouse projects served as the nucleus for many large-scale projects. With the TEC-Lab, we also have access to our own production hall with modern machinery and equipment for additive manufacturing.

We offer a varied position with a high degree of personal responsibility in a motivated team. Scientific depth and a strong practical orientation are not contradictory, but complement each other. In this way, the results of our research reach the places where they have the greatest impact more quickly. We look forward to receiving your application!

We are constantly looking for motivated students to support our research. Apply for an advertised position or send us a speculative application to oberingenieure@ptw.tu-… The topics of our research groups are diverse – so are the tasks.
