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
