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, they have become an integral part of our everyday lives – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS enables 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.

We shape the assembly and integration technologies for the entire ZEISS product portfolio, where highly sophisticated optical components are transformed into reliable, state-of-the-art systems for semiconductor manufacturing. In this role, you will work closely with interdisciplinary teams from design, engineering, equipment development, software, metrology, and manufacturing. You will contribute to the development of innovative process technologies, establish robust integration concepts, and drive data-driven process optimization across multiple product generations. Working at the interface between Engineering and Operations, you will help transfer new technologies into manufacturing while continuously expanding process understanding through experiments, statistical analysis, and modern data analytics approaches.
