Job description

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 RoleWith us, you have the opportunity to perfectly combine your studies with practical experience while actively contributing to exciting projects. This allows you to gain valuable skills, expand your network, and grow both professionally and personally. You will be part of a team that develops and optimizes system architectures. You may work on projects involving the modeling and simulation of fluid-dynamical systems in dilute regimes. In these projects, statistical particle-based methods are used to directly simulate interactions between atoms and molecules.

System Modeling: You will build simulation models that represent components of our systems to assess and improve their performance.

Simulation: You will conduct detailed simulations where the atomic nature of the flow is relevant, and therefore the Navier–Stokes equations are no longer valid.

Evaluation: You will evaluate the obtained simulations, refine and extend your simulations, and contribute your results to further develop our systems and methods.

Your Profile

• Studies in physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, simulation technology, or a comparable field with excellent academic results
• Knowledge of modeling atoms and molecules and their interactions with each other and with other structures
• Knowledge of fluid mechanics and modeling it in the continuum, transitional, and free-molecular regimes
• Advantageous ability to perform multiphase 2D/3D CFD simulations (e.g., CFX, Fluent, Star-CCM+)
• Analytical, creative, reflective, and autonomous work style, and an interest in working as part of a team to develop innovative solutions
• Good German and English language skills (speaking and writing)

Sounds exciting? Then become part of #teamZEISS and help us shape the future!
