Working Student Structural Mechanics & Computation (f/m/x)

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

With 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.

assess the applicability of our system dynamics simulation toolbox to mechanical systems which are not yet in scope of the current toolbox development

derive software development requirements and verification test-cases for our system dynamics toolbox, where additional features and modifications are required to support the new application

implement solutions independently or pass requirements on to the external software development team, monitoring verified solution generation in time and budget

assist in the development of semi-optimal truss-structures with the help of CAE by developing tailored visualization / optimization methods and using them to design solution candidates that satisfy essential engineering requirements

assist in the administration of our source code management system based on Azure DevOps, including repository access management, Git-based branching strategies, AI agent readiness, and test workflow automation

train colleagues in using the source code management system and its more advanced features

Your Profile

You are enrolled in a university degree program in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) related field, preferably specializing in computational methods for structural engineering, dynamics, and/or control problems

You feel confident in writing modern code and are familiar with modular software architecture, including numerical method implementations and interfaces to third-party software libraries

You’re familiar with source code management systems, are willing to acquire new skills and make your knowledge available to others

You learn business software, systems and processes on the job, doing what it takes to solve both trivial and challenging problems independently and in a structured manner

You feel confident in documenting your work in English
