Module Owner – Mechatronics (f/m/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

- drive the development of a mechatronic module, from concept maturation through integration readiness and deployment to the full functional machine

- coordinate interdisciplinary work packages across mechanical design, actuators, sensors, controls, software, metrology and system integration

- define and execute module design, interfaces, test strategies and verification plans for precise and reliable module performance

- plan and steer module development activities, including milestones, risks, dependencies, design reviews, integration steps and documentation deliverables

- support commissioning and troubleshooting, with a focus on alignment, stability, repeatability and manufacturability

- act as technical project lead for a small specialist team, ensuring clear priorities, stakeholder alignment and effective collaboration with internal and external partners

Your Profile

- a university degree in mechatronics, precision engineering, systems engineering, physics or a comparable technical field

- strong mechatronics expertise, including precision mechanics, actuators, sensors and control systems, alignment concepts, vibration-sensitive assemblies and machine integration

- experience in developing, integrating and verifying complex modules for high-precision machines, ideally in semiconductor equipment, metrology, lithography or optical systems

- good understanding of requirements engineering, interface management, error budgeting, verification planning and structured technical risk management

- project management skills for planning work packages, tracking milestones, coordinating dependencies, moderating technical decisions and communicating status to stakeholders

- experience in collaborating with suppliers, service providers and internal development partners on module design, prototype builds, test execution and issue resolution

- very good communication skills in English and German
