[General] Open positions for AI Researcher and AI Engineer at MPI Informatics

We are a group of scientists and engineers in the Max Planck Institute for Informatics working on a transfer-of-research project. The goal of the project is developing a cloud-based AI software to automate the process control in the manufacturing industry in line with eco-innovation. This project is the stepping stone for founding a sustainable deep-tech start-up with high ethics. Our vision is to revolutionize the laser material processing industry and move it to a more efficient direction. This project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action through the "EXIST" transfer of research program. The project is managed by Dr. Vahid Babaei from Max Planck Institute for Informatics. We are looking for an Artificial Intelligence Researcher with a PhD degree in computer science or a related field who will focus on the research side. We are also looking for an Artificial Intelligence Engineer with an MSc degree in computer science or a related field who will focus on the development side.
