Around 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are produced using ZEISS technologies. As the centerpiece of every electronically controlled system, they have become an integral part of our everyday lives – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart professionals. ZEISS is a technology leader in the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS driving the production of ever smaller, increasingly powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips, and thus plays a pivotal role in the age of micro- and nanoelectronics. Are you looking for a new challenge in a growing, technologically pioneering environment? Would you like to implement innovations in electron microscopy for the Zeiss MeRiT product range with world-leading partners in the semiconductor market? Then you've come to the right place! At Carl ZEISS MultiSEM you will be associated with Carl ZEISS SMT, the world's leading supplier of optical lithography for the production of semiconductor chips. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop cutting-edge technology in an interdisciplinary, multicultural team. You will take the lead on systems engineering tasks in the context of establishing the world's fast electron microscope, i.e. ZEISS MultiSEM, in the semiconductor market. In particular, you will: define and steer able studies, risk and cost analyses in the product pre-development stages in collaboration with the customer(s), product management, application team and specialist departments
