Senior Optical Designer (m/w/x)

Enabler for smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips - work where the morning is created. About 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. As the heart of any electronically controlled system, You are no longer to think away from our everyday life – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and solutions for process control, ZEISS enables the production of increasingly smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips – and thus decisively shapes the age of microelectronics and nanoelectronics with its innovations. Do you want to shape the motor of digitalization in an interdisciplinary environment? You can guide a team professionally and have a hand in dealing with people? In the Group Optical Design Projection of ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology, we develop optical concepts and create optical designs for the next generations of projection optics for optical lithography. With outstanding optical performance, we secure our technology leadership and enable our customers to take the next steps in the roadmap for the development of microchips. We stand for high expertise, high self-responsibility, an incredibly motivating environment and a culture of
