Senior Development Engineer Mechatronics (Dynamics & Control) (f/m/x)

About ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology 

Enabler of smaller, more powerful and energy‑efficient microchips 

Work where tomorrow is made. 

Around 80% of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. As the heart of every electronically controlled system, they are indispensable in our daily lives – whether in smartphones, smart homes or smart factories. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With ultra‑precise lithography optics, photomask systems and process control solutions, ZEISS enables the production of ever smaller, more powerful and more energy‑efficient microchips – shaping the age of micro‑ and nanoelectronics with its innovations. 

Your Role 

To manufacture high‑performance semiconductor chips using microlithography, we develop the world’s most advanced projection and illumination systems. In our department we develop the mechatronic solutions that play a key role in these systems.  

In your role as Senior Development Engineer Mechatronics with Focus on Dynamics and Control Engineering (f/m/x), you will: 

Develop, evaluate and document mechatronic system concepts for projection and illumination optics in microlithography systems, with a focus on dynamics and control engineering 

Perform modeling, simulation and analysis of highly complex mechatronic systems and develop and evaluate control algorithms for fast and extremely precise positioning of precision mechanical components 

Derive and negotiate specifications and budgets for components from your results 

Ensure the realization and testing of prototypes and evaluate the test results 

Be part of an interdisciplinary team and work closely in development with customers (internal and external) as well as development partners 

Your Profile 

Many years of professional experience in the development of complex mechatronic systems, ideally in the semiconductor industry  

Strong expertise in analysis of control loops (frequency and time domain) and dynamic analysis of mechanical systems (MBS, FEM, structural dynamics, modeling methods), experience in validation of dynamic models and very good MATLAB and/or Python skills 

Ideally, knowledge in related disciplines such as actuators/sensors, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, optical engineering as well as systems engineering 

Strong technical leadership skills with a proven track record in decision‑making, delegation, stakeholder management, steering teams and developing team members 

An independent and systematic way of working, very good organizational and communication skills and strong proactivity and assertiveness 

Enjoyment of working as part of an interdisciplinary team in a highly dynamic environment, combined with a high level of commitment and performance orientation 

Excellent university degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Technical Cybernetics or a comparable field of study 

Very good English skills, both written and spoken; good German skills are an advantage
