Enabler for smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips Working for tomorrow today.

Around 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are produced using ZEISS technologies. As the centerpiece of every electronically controlled system, You 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.

You will work in an interdisciplinary team to design, specify, and develop micro-systems and subsystems across the entire development lifecycle. You will develop and evaluate system architectures, derive requirements, and ensure their implementation. You will analyze interactions between microsystems, electronics, packaging, controls, environmental conditions, and the overall system — with a particular focus on electromechanical interfaces. In a technical interface role with suppliers and development partners, you will steer and assess development contributions in terms of designs, technology, performance, quality, and manufacturability. You will define modeling, simulation, characterization, and verification approaches, analyze deviations, and develop robust system solutions. You will prepare technology and architecture decisions, present them to stakeholders, and strengthen knowledge growth in microsystems engineering and adjacent disciplines.
