The High-Energy Group at MPE carries out major space hardware programs, including the development of X-ray detectors and X-ray optics. The group has contributed significantly to Chandra and XMM‑Newton and has more recently led the development of the eROSITA X-ray telescope, launched in 2019 aboard the SRG mission. The group is also involved in several ground-based projects in support of eROSITA, such as LSST, GROND, SDSS-V, 4MOST, primarily in support of our space programs. Applications are invited for the position of MAIT (Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration and Manager) for the Athena Wide Field Imager in the High-Energy astrophysics group of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) in Garching, led by Prof. K. Nandra. This enables spatially and temporally resolved spectroscopy of X-ray photons in the energy range from 200 eV to 15 keV ...
