Scientific Software Engineer (f/m/x)

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.

Semiconductor lithography drives today's digitalization and inherently relies on defect-free photomasks - the blue print for every microchip. Our devices analyze and manipulate such photomasks by processing huge amounts of data with state-of-the-art algorithms. Become part of the global algorithms team at SMS and shape the future of chip manufacturing!

Join #TeamZeiss in the Semiconductor Mask Solutions (SMS) business unit.
