About this role
ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology 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.
Your Role
• drive the development of a mechatronic module, from concept maturation through integration readiness and deployment to the full functional machine
• coordinate interdisciplinary work packages across mechanical design, actuators, sensors, controls, software, metrology and system integration
• define and execute module design, interfaces, test strategies and verification plans for precise and reliable module performance
• plan and steer module development activities, including milestones, risks, dependencies, design reviews, integration steps and documentation deliverables
• support commissioning and troubleshooting, with a focus on alignment, stability, repeatability and manufacturability
• act as technical project lead for a small specialist team, ensuring clear priorities, stakeholder alignment and effective collaboration with internal and external partners
Your Profile
• a university degree in mechatronics, precision engineering, systems engineering, physics or a comparable technical field
• strong mechatronics expertise, including precision mechanics, actuators, sensors and control systems, alignment concepts, vibration-sensitive assemblies and machine integration
• experience in developing, integrating and verifying complex modules for high-precision machines, ideally in semiconductor equipment, metrology, lithography or optical systems
• good understanding of requirements engineering, interface management, error budgeting, verification planning and structured technical risk management
• project management skills for planning work packages, tracking milestones, coordinating dependencies, moderating technical decisions and communicating status to stakeholders
• experience in collaborating with suppliers, service providers and internal development partners on module design, prototype builds, test execution and issue resolution
• very good communication skills in English and German
