Working at: AXO DRESDEN GmbH

AXO DRESDEN is a highly specialized technology company based in Dresden, Germany. Founded in 2002 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS), we develop and manufacture high-precision X-ray optics, X-ray sources, and customized optical systems for customers in research and industry. Although our products are often small in size, they play a crucial role in advanced analytical instruments and large-scale research facilities around the world.

What makes AXO unique is the combination of scientific expertise, hands-on manufacturing, and a highly collaborative working environment. As a relatively small team, we cover the entire value chain – from product development and simulation to coating, characterization, assembly, sales, and customer support. This creates a diverse and stimulating workplace where technical excellence, precision, and problem-solving are part of everyday work.

We value people who think independently, take ownership, and enjoy working together to solve complex technical challenges. At AXO, good ideas can come from anyone, and individual contributions have a visible impact on the success of the company.

As part of the Anton Paar Group, AXO combines the agility and close collaboration of a small company with the stability, resources, and international perspective of a global technology leader.
