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 Role

• Select and evaluate individual components for connecting gas-carrying parts in (ultra-) high vacuum environments
• Plan and conduct an experimental comparative study of existing solution concepts for gas supply connection systems
• Develop solution concepts to optimize these systems with regard to leak-tightness requirements

Your Profile

• Enrolled in a Master’s degree program in physics, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field
• Initial experience working with vacuum systems and ideally basic knowledge of fluid mechanics
• Strong interest in the interaction of different components in precision engineering
• Strong ability to understand complex technical components and systems, combined with curiosity and a quick grasp of new topics
• Communicative and well-organized personality, able to work independently and effectively at interdisciplinary interfaces, both within the company and with external partners
