Nanotest

Founded in 2004, Nanotest was a small group of scientists and engineers that had gathered at the Micro Materials Center of Fraunhofer in Berlin-Wedding to build up a business all around material characterization. Quickly, the focus shifted onto thermal material characterization and our flagship measurement system TIMA was build in its first version. In the following years, more measurements methods and systems followed as well as competence in thermography-based failure analysis.
Years of active participation in many successful research projects followed and Nanotest grew with challenging characterization tasks and built a portfolio of various measurement techniques and - more importantly - lots of experience in thermal management, characterization and understanding of current and future industrial challenges.
Today, Nanotest is a team of over 20 employees, operating in their headquarter in Berlin and an auxiliary laboratory in Chemnitz, Saxony. Nanotest has a portfolio of 5 distinct measurement systems and offers measurement and analysis services to industrial and academic partners all over the world.
A Network

Nanotest operates as part of a well-interconnected scientific work group, the joint lab berlin for thermal management. The work group collects expertise in thermal management from two SMEs, an institute and two universities and offers advantages like equipment sharing, knowledge exchange and a comprehensive set of measurement and characterization capabilities, failure analysis techniques supplemented with the power of numerical analysis. The list of partners is:
- Chemnitz University of Technology
- Brandenburg University of Technology
- Fraunhofer ENAS
- Berliner Nanotest und Design GmbH
- AMIC Angewandte Micro-Messtechnik GmbH

We are a young, creative team and offer scientific-technical measurement and development services as well as our own measurement systems to a world-wide customer base from semiconductor, power electronics and automotive industries. We continously develop new and refine our existing systems and closely collaborate with our customer and partner network. We can use support in various ways. So - you like those faces above? Maybe you take a look at our vacancies - we are currently looking for the following reinforcements:
Together with the Technische Universität Chemnitz (TU Chemnitz) in Chemnitz we are looking for a
PhD student (F/M/X) with a degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering or Material Science
Project description:
Thermal imaging is a topical method to detect buried flaws (as e.g. material inhomogeneities, cracks, delamination and artefacts or geometric tolerances) in electronic packages which are caused by processing or during operation and thus represent quality and reliability concerns and have to be detected inline by non-destructive techniques. To allow the classification of these defects, AI-based methods are to be employed after post-processing of the thermographs for contrast enhancement.
Application deadline: 01-12-2022
Expected start date: The PhD project starts between 01-01-2023 and 01-04-2023
Requirements: Specific Eligibility Criteria on the Horizon Europe: Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) programme apply, including the mobility rule and PhD rules. Applicants of any nationality are welcome.
Desired degree: Master in Physics, Electrical Engineering or Material Science
Background knowledge: in AI-Methods, Finite Element Simulation, Materials, Failure Analysis, Packaging desirable
English proficiency: fluent
