Long-term employee commitment

All employees benefit from extremely flexible working hours, with around 30 different weekly time models. Requests for changes due to personal needs are accommodated. Our low turnover is certainly also linked to the positive work atmosphere and the exciting, varied projects that challenge our flexibility. For example, IMM Photonics in Teisnach does not offer shift work, which is rather uncommon in the region.

Development

The development department at IMM Photonics offers exciting projects focused on customized laser solutions. Each project is tailored to meet customer requirements, and you’ll directly contribute to innovative solutions. Throughout and after the development phase, we work closely with our customers, ensuring they are involved early in the solution process.

You’ll evaluate existing technologies, adapt them, or develop new approaches—always with a focus on innovation that is both economical and efficient to create real value. At IMM Photonics, you’ll work on projects that make an impact, using only the resources necessary to achieve the best results.

Production

In Teisnach, you’ll be producing precise laser products—ranging from alignment to bonding, soldering, and assembly, always requiring a delicate touch and using state-of-the-art equipment. You’ll work in climate-controlled, electrostatically protected rooms, supported by robotics and cleanroom technology. Flexible working hours ensure an ideal work-life balance. With over 30 years as a family-owned business, we offer job security, a strong team, and opportunities for personal growth.

Look forward to exciting, diverse tasks in a clean, modern environment that continues to impress our partners!

Sales

Management

We are internal service providers active in the areas of order processing, IT, human resources, accounting, and controlling. You will be responsible for part of the tasks related to organizing operational workflows. We respond flexibly to our customers’ needs, optimize internal processes, and structure the day-to-day office routine.

In doing so, we contribute to a work environment where our colleagues in other departments can fully focus on their core responsibilities.
