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.

Semiconductor Fab Solutions (SFS) develops electron microscopy solutions for quality control in the semiconductor industry.

Become part of the team behind groundbreaking innovations like the “ZEISS MultiSEM” and help push the boundaries of technology every day. You’ll work closely with people from a wide variety of disciplines. Take on the challenge and grow through exciting and responsible assignments. Join us at our inspiring location in Oberkochen, where you’ll have the opportunity to advance your career in a forward-looking environment.

Your Role

• Work as part of an interdisciplinary development team to further develop our multi-beam electron microscope, the “ZEISS MultiSEM”—currently the world’s fastest electron microscope—and thereby tap into new markets and applications
• Contribute to the strategic direction of our software products by further developing architectural concepts
• Use modern software tools to program product and application software for multi-beam electron microscopy and the equipment required for its fabrication and characterization
• Develop and refine new software solution strategies and algorithms based on existing software
• Create the necessary documentation
• Collaborate on projects for the further development of multi-beam electron microscopes and, where appropriate, take on subprojects or work packages related to software topics

Your Profile

• Excellent college degree (Master’s/Diploma) in computer science, physics, electrical engineering, or a comparable field
• Excellent knowledge of object-oriented programming in .NET/C#, multithreading, and Visual Studio/Azure DevOps, and ideally good knowledge of one or more of the following areas: ASP.NET, gRPC, integration of device drivers, implementation of image processing algorithms, communication models/protocols, and database and client-server applications
• Excellent knowledge of software architecture design, hands-on experience with refactoring and maintaining industrial codebases
• Familiarity with TDD, SOLID principles, and design patterns, as well as architectural patterns such as Clean Architecture or Hexagonal Architecture; ideally, you also have a good understanding of Windows and Linux, Docker and container orchestration, microservice architectures, and database technologies
• Ideally, a deep understanding of the control of complex optical machines, the integration of electronic components, and high-speed data processing, as well as some experience in project management
• A structured, independent, and goal-oriented approach to work; quick comprehension; strong communication skills; a strong willingness to learn and work hard; excellent team spirit; and very good written and spoken German and English skills
