Systems Engineer - Wafer Positioning and Alignment (f/m/x)

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

• be responsible for the development, verification and integration of mechatronics modules for wafer positioning and alignment
• define the functional architectures and optimize the interaction of mechanics, electronics, sensors, and software.
• analyze error budgets and derive system concepts to achieve maximum positioning accuracy.
• drive technical improvements and transfer subsystem solutions into robust system concepts.
• lead internal and external development partners for mechatronic components
• implement different measurement methods to optimize the qualification of modules in the interaction within the system
• develop and carry out tests on module and system level to ensure system functionality and reliability
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including software, operations, purchasing, and product management

Your Profile

• above-average degree in mechatronics, electrical engineering, Systems Engineering, physics, or a comparable technical degree
