Scientist Employee Optical Metrology (m/f/x)

Trust something new, grow beyond itself and redefine the boundaries of the feasible. That is exactly what our employees can and should live daily. To set the pace with our innovations and make it great. Because there are a lot of fascinating people behind every successful company. ZEISS employees work in an open and modern environment with numerous development and further training opportunities. Our culture is characterized by expert knowledge and team spirit. All this is supported by the special ownership structure and the long-term goal of the Carl-Zeiss Foundation: to advance science and society together.

Today dare. Inspire tomorrow.

Diversity is part of ZEISS. We look forward to your application regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, world view, disability, age as well as sexual orientation and identity.

Apply now! In less than 10 minutes. Enabler for smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips.

Work where the morning arises.

What can't be missing from a smartphone? Exactly, the microchip – the heart of any electronically controlled system. About 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. 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.

The high-performance lithography optics manufactured by Carl ZEISS SMT GmbH require a continuous review of their dimensional accuracy during the manufacturing process - on pikometer scales! Become part of the team and develop extremely sophisticated optical measuring machines for the qualification of high-performance optics for DUV and EUV applications in cooperation with internal and external project partners.
