Vocational training: Electronics technician (f/m/d) for automation technology – 2027/3 Full-time

Trainee Experience

This is what our former trainee Leonie has to say: The great thing about my job as an electronics technician for automation technology is the wide range of tasks. You work with the system from start to finish. You draw up the circuit diagrams, plan the control cabinet and wire it. You also write the program, test the system and put it into operation. Many specialists at the HZDR are on hand to help you with the implementation. If you find these tasks exciting and enjoy doing them, then this is the right place for you.
