Here, young people are offered a glimpse into its research, students and young talents get an introduction to the world of science, and experienced researchers can explore interesting new fields of work and career opportunities. DLR also offers extensive non-scientific employment and training opportunities.
The Institute of Structures and Design has set itself a major goal: to lighten the future. At our sites in Stuttgart and Augsburg, we develop high-performance structures for the aerospace, automotive engineering and energy technology sectors that go above and beyond the standards set by conventional developments and deliver real technological advances.
Our work is based on the interplay between high-performance, temperature-resistant materials and the very latest digital technology. This combination allows us to develop new construction methods that open up previously unimagined possibilities in lightweight construction in the areas of assembly, system integration and recycling.
What specialities are we looking for?
Aerospace engineering
Materials science
Mechanical engineering
Production engineering with a focus on automation technology, lightweight construction, production, robotics
Physics
Computer science
In our five departments and our close, strategic cooperation with the Institute of Materials Research, we push forward technical progress on a daily basis. From the materials we use through to the demonstrators we construct and the automated production processes we develop, we always rely on solutions that are climate friendly, efficient and conserve resources.
