Enabler for smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips

Work where the morning arises. About 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. As the heart of any electronically controlled system, they 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. In the Department of Optics Technology, we develop high-precision optics processing processes and design comprehensive process architectures for optical components in the field of DUV and EUV lithography. Our team in the “Optics Technology Grinding” department specialises in the contour processing of brittle hard materials (e.g. glass ceramics) as well as the grinding of optical surfaces until handover to the subsequent polishing processes. We design and manage the manufacturing processes from the first idea to the introduction to the series. We offer you a significant share in the development of new product generations and more powerful microchips.

Planning, control and independent implementation of development tasks and regular reports on development status

Developing new concepts and solutions in interdisciplinary project teams

Evaluation and definition of specifications for processes incl. Tooling and systems for processing high-precision optics, e.g. by testing of machining systems

Evaluation of process-relevant measurement results using methods such as Six Sigma or statistical process control

Coordination and close cooperation with internal interfaces and external partners

Your profile a very successful degree/master degree in the fields of mechanical engineering, materials science, physics or comparable

multiannual experience in scientific work or first professional experience

Knowledge of abrasive processing methods for brittle hard materials

Interest in the development of manufacturing processes for optical components at the highest technical level

Team spirit, creativity and a problem-solving mindset

Communication strength as well as very good German and English skills

We look forward to your application, even if you do not meet all the technical requirements of the tender. You will receive a comprehensive onboarding and will be fully supported in your personal and professional development. In addition, ZEISS as a foundation company offers a family-friendly environment, attractive remuneration and pension provision as well as the possibility of mobile work. JOBV1_EN
