Curious to discover how our products can be implemented in the field? Check out this video! Assignment Raman spectroscopy is a powerful, non-destructive analytical technique used in: • Materials science • Polymer analysis • Semiconductor characterization • Chemical identification • Quality control However, Raman systems typically use Class 3B or Class 4 lasers, which pose: • Eye safety hazards • Skin exposure risks • Stray beam reflections • Regulatory compliance challenges In addition, many laboratory Raman setups: • Require manual sample insertion • Are not fully enclosed • Lack interlock systems • Do not support rapid sample exchange To enable safe, repeatable, and efficient operations, especially in shared laboratory or industrial environments, a fully enclosed, interlocked Raman system with a modular sample exchange mechanism is required. Objective To design, build, and validate a: • Fully enclosed laser-safe Raman setup • Interlock-controlled safety system compliant with laser safety standards • Modular sample exchange mechanism enabling safe and repeatable measurements • Documented system ready for laboratory or industrial deployment We are looking for: We are looking for an enthusiastic HBO or WO student with a background in: • Applied Physics • Mechanical Engineering • Electrical Engineering • Industrial Design Engineering We offer: • A good compensation per month • Travel reimbursement of €0,23 per km (when traveling by car) • Informal work atmosphere, short lines of communication • Working in a high-tech environment Interested?
