Development Engineer - Laser Systems for EUV Metrology (m/f/x)

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.
Your Role
As a Development Engineer, you will play a key role in developing next-generation EUV lithography systems, enabling future semiconductor technology nodes. You will combine deep expertise in laser physics with system engineering, industrialization, and technical leadership of external partners.
In this role, you will:
Contribute to the development of high-end EUV lithography systems, helping to establish the technological foundation for future microchip generations
Drive the development and industrialization of a highly stabilized laser system for optical metrology applications, leveraging your expertise in laser optics and diode laser technology
Define technical concepts, requirements, and specifications for the laser system, its industrialization, and its integration into modern lithography equipment
Take technical ownership of the transfer from development to series production, ensuring performance, reliability, manufacturability, and scalability
Technically lead and support external development and manufacturing partners throughout the industrialization process and act as a key interface between suppliers and internal development teams
Perform physical modeling and simulations of optical systems, including laser cavities, fiber-optic components, lasers, and signal processing chains.
Your Profile
You may bring several years of industrial experience in laser-system development and industrialization, or a PhD in the field of laser physics, photonics, or a related field with the motivation to transfer advanced laser technology into a demanding industrial application
You have a strong understanding of laser physics and optical systems, including experience with laser frequency stabilization or closely related laser-control technologies
Experience in laser-system industrialization, technology transfer into production, or collaboration with external development and manufacturing partners is an advantage
Programming skills in Python and/or Matlab is an advantage • You enjoy working in interdisciplinary teams and are able to drive technical topics with conviction and a solution-oriented mindset
You are comfortable taking ownership of complex technical challenges and influencing stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
