Student Assistant for the Quantum Lab in the »Quantum Machine Learning« Team (all genders)

City: Stuttgart Date: Oct 21, 2026

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. 74 institutes develop pioneering technologies for our economy and society – more precisely: 30 000 people from technology, science, administration and IT. They know: Anyone who comes to Fraunhofer wants to and can make a difference. For themselves, for us and for the markets of today and tomorrow.

The »Quantum Machine Learning« team at Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO in Stuttgart conducts research on quantum computing-based data processing and develops machine learning methods in support of quantum technologies. The team is part of flaQship, the Fraunhofer Lab for applied quantum computing Stuttgart-Heilbronn, which unites the expertise of Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. Within flaQship, the research area Quantum Service Engineering and High-Performance Computing focuses on making quantum computing usable as service-oriented applications, on integrating quantum resources into existing IT workflows, and on operating the laboratory and High-Performance computing infrastructure on which our research, trainings and demonstrators rely.

An important part of these activities is our »Quantum Lab«, an interactive learning and demonstration environment that combines hands-on physics experiments, quantum computing demonstrators, and educational exhibits. The lab supports research, training programs, workshops, demonstrations, and visitor events, helping to make quantum technologies tangible and accessible for students, researchers, industry partners, and the broader public.

To support the ongoing development and operation of this unique environment, we are looking for a Student Assistant who will help maintain and further develop the Quantum Lab, contribute to new demonstrators and experimental setups, and support activities that communicate quantum computing to a broad audience.
