Enabling Smaller, More Powerful and Energy-Efficient Microchips
Work where tomorrow is created.
What should never be missing from a smartphone?
Exactly – the microchip, the core component of every electronically controlled system. Around 80% of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With highly precise lithography optics, photomask systems, and process control solutions, ZEISS enables the production of increasingly smaller, more powerful, and more energy-efficient microchips, playing a key role in shaping the era of micro- and nanoelectronics through innovation.
Your Role
- Conduct requirements engineering activities for machinery and production systems in close collaboration with customers and suppliers.
- Create technical requirements specifications and functional design specifications for control and automation systems.
- Develop end-to-end automation architectures for special-purpose machinery, including system decomposition, context definition, and the creation of various software architecture views (e.g., component, runtime, and deployment views).
- Drive the development and adoption of internal engineering standards, reference architectures, and technical guidelines, while supporting their implementation within projects.
- Support project teams in applying architectural principles, standards, and best practices throughout the project lifecycle.
- Advise external development partners and internal project stakeholders on automation architectures, technical concepts, and engineering standards.
Your Profile
- Successfully completed a degree in Control Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable field.
- Proven experience in the automation of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), particularly Siemens PLCs, as well as expertise in drive technology, functional safety, control engineering, data management, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
- Hands-on experience in programming Siemens control systems using the TIA Portal and implementing industrial communication interfaces, particularly OPC UA.
- Experience in commissioning machine control systems, measurement systems, and drive technologies, including SINUMERIK and SIMATIC solutions for industrial equipment and machinery.
- Experience in requirements engineering and requirements management, including practical knowledge of related tools such as Polarion.
- A self-driven, proactive, and accountable working style within cross-functional project teams, combined with strong teamwork and intercultural collaboration skills.
- Good English language skills, both written and spoken.
