Development Engineer / Design Engineer – Model-Based Design & Simulation of Coordinate Measuring Machines (m/f/d)

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. The future of measuring technology begins at ZEISS ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions stands for ground-breaking measuring technology with more than 100 years of tradition. We develop and produce high-performance tactile, optical 3D and X-ray measuring instruments and simultaneously offer suitable software solutions for evaluating the measurement data. With a strong and broad technology and software portfolio, comprehensive know-how as well as a global set-up, ZEISS is a leading partner in a wide range of industrial sectors, such as electromobility, medical technology, additive manufacturing and aircraft engineering.

Your role Design the next generation of high-precision coordinate measuring instruments with us. In the global system development, you work as a central interface between structural design and construction and ensure that models become standard products. Together with colleagues in Oberkochen, Slupsk (Poland) and Suzhou (China), you shape our future measuring instrument portfolio. You hit the bridge between model and product: You combine static, dynamic and thermal structure design with mechanical design and ensure that model-based assumptions in the real product are implemented technically and efficiently.

Based on existing models (e.g. from Thermik, Dynamics, Structure), you can independently perform parameter variations, meet the same requirements against each other, solve target conflicts at module and system level and develop the technically best solution for our coordinate measuring devices.

You bring simulation and series together: You translate simulation results into production-oriented series designs and use common simulation and modeling tools (e.g. Matlab, FEM/Ansys) as well as CAD and PDM systems.

In addition, you take over classic design tasks: creation and maintenance of CAD models and drawings, tolerance management and piece list maintenance, secure coordination with purchasing, manufacturing and quality as well as accompanying the industrialization of new assemblies to the series.

You cooperate with the internal knowledge building for the field of simulation/construction and implement new standards for working together with the team.

Very well completed study of mechanical engineering, mechatronics or a comparable technical discipline (Master/Diplom; Promotion of advantage, but not mandatory).

Multiannual professional experience in the development of structural mechanics, simulation or structural engineering – ideally related to precision machines or complex mechanical systems.

Understanding structural mechanical relationships and interactions between statics, dynamics and thermals.

Practical experience with FEM simulations (e.g. Ansys or comparable tools).

Experience in both simulation and construction of components/modules (e.g. Creo or a comparable CAD system).

Very good analytical skills, conceptual thinking and joy in transferring complex facts into robust, practical solutions.

Teamability, careful and responsible working and good English skills in word and writing.

We are looking for developers who take responsibility with passion and drive innovation – from the first idea to the finished product. You will experience the entire range: from simulation and design to testing and evaluating your results directly on the product – and then develop them consistently. If you have fun in solving specific technical challenges from practice and actively and forward-lookingly shaping our measurement technology, you are right with us. .
