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

  • as an expert in systems engineering, you can develop, analyze and optimize EUV sensors/camera systems for high-precision metrology systems

  • develop and evaluate error budgets and use them to derive system and assembly concepts (including simulation of the influences on the measuring accuracy of EUV detectors and EUV Source)

  • develop, realize and operate characterization and testing setups for performance and life-time qualification of EUV camera systems and EUV Source

  • planning and implementation of requirements and tests, as well as compilation of an informative documentation

  • ensure the overall functionality and feasibility (incl. supplier selection, integration, test, transport, conformity) over the entire life cycle

  • transform the results and solutions of the sub-system(s) into a technical overall concept and coordinate its structure and performance within the teams and with management

  • ensure coordination with the interfaces such as Purchasing, Logistics, Operations, Product Management, Software, etc.

  • support product development through in-house patent work, and determine requirements and solutions for the SMS technology roadmap in relation to EUV cameras and EUV Source

Your profile

  • a degree in science and technology with a focus on optics/optoelectronics/systems technology (PhD is an advantage)

  • a great passion for precision measuring technology, systems engineering and a very good knowledge of EUV sensors/cameras, optical images, EUV Sources and experience in automated data analysis e.g. matlab or python

  • initial professional experience in the implementation of challenging development tasks and project management

  • a high degree of independence, an innovative and structured approach to work and the ability to present complex issues in a clear and structured way

  • team skills and enjoy working in a global team

  • very good German and English language skills in writing and speaking
