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. Are you looking for a new challenge in a rapidly expanding, technologically pioneering environment? Would you like to implement innovations in scanning electron microscopy for the Zeiss Multi-Beam product range with world-leading partners in the semiconductor market? Then you've come to the right place! At Carl ZEISS MultiSEM you will be associated with Carl ZEISS SMT, the world's leading supplier of optical lithography for the production of semiconductor chips. With us, you will have the opportunity to develop cutting-edge technology in an interdisciplinary, multicultural team. Your role You will take the lead on systems engineering tasks in the context of establishing the world's fastest electron microscope, i.e. ZEISS MultiSEM, in the semiconductor market.
