Process Engineer Machining (f/m/x)

Seeing beyond - future of medical technology

For more than 100 years, ZEISS medical technology has been driving progress in ophthalmology and microsurgery. In ophthalmology, our solutions help to maintain and improve people's vision at every stage of their lives. In microsurgery, our solutions enable targeted interventions on diseased tissue so that small and sensitive organs continue to function optimally. Medical technology from ZEISS supports medical professionals in improving the lives of patients worldwide. The fact that our actions have a direct impact on people's well-being is what drives us every day.

Your Role:

• Development of new machining processes for the feasibility study of new products (ultra-precision machining of optical surfaces in the production of intraocular lenses)
• Development of manufacturing processes for highly precise, efficient and minimum-error production as well as the industrialization of these processes (across several production sites)
• Introduction, implementation and qualification of the processes on 3- or 5-axis systems (incl. CNC programming)
• Thorough documentation of processes and work instructions to ensure the quality of our products according to the strict medical technology requirements and enable efficient communication across all production sites.
• Close cooperation with R&D, working on the development of our product portfolio as well as an intensive exchange with colleagues across all production sites

Your Profile

• A university degree with a relevant technical focus
• A Hands-on mentality in dealing with ultra-precise machine tool systems
• Practical experience in machining high-precision components (in sub-micrometer range) and setting up corresponding machines including NC-CNC technology and programming
• Professional experience in industrial production or, alternatively, a good understanding of the boundary conditions expected in an industrial environment
• A high degree of curiosity, initiative and structured work to drive your topics forward under technical challenges and difficult boundary conditions
• Business fluent in Englisch and German (written and spoken) to be successful both locally and in an international team

With the opportunities to work on partially and fully automated, CNC-controlled machines with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes - you will be part of the team who is developing our diverse IOL portfolio of mono- and multifocal as well as toric lenses with the highest precision.
Your knowledge and contributions will not only bolster the ZEISS manufacturing engineering team but also aid us in producing the highest quality products that millions of ophthalmology patients depend on each year.
