Enabling smaller, more powerful and energy-efficient microchips

Working where tomorrow takes shape.

Around 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. As the heart of every electronically controlled system, they have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS enables the production of ever smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips – and, through its innovations, plays a key role in shaping the age of micro- and nanoelectronics.

Become part of our Automation & Engineering Solutions team at our Aachen site, which focuses on the development and implementation of complex production and test systems for optical systems.

The Automation & Engineering Solutions department covers all aspects of a holistic development approach: from requirements engineering, electrical and mechanical design, software automation and assembly through to commissioning at our production sites and integration with higher-level MES systems.

Your Role

As part of our implementation team, you will play an important role in the manufacturing, assembly, testing and commissioning of high-quality components and machines.
