Scientific Researcher & Software Architecture Specialist in Optical Models & Algorithms Illumination

**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** ============= * Support the models and algorithms team with your subject-matter expertise and in-depth knowledge of relevant methods. * Develop new algorithms for next-generation products as Software Architecture Specialist. * Collaborate in interdisciplinary teams (e.g., optics, materials science, software, product development) to seamlessly translate research into application. * Be a creative, innovative contributor to the team dynamics: identify transfer opportunities from adjacent topics into the illumination domain. * Plan, implement, validate, and document algorithms with a focus on scalability and robustness. * Communicate results, technical decisions, and roadmaps to stakeholders at all levels. **Your Profile** ================ * You have a successfully completed Master of Science or Diploma degree (preferably in Physics, Computational Physics/Math/Chemistry, engineering with HPC focus, or similar) with initial professional experience in academic and/or industrial environments (PhD or Postdoc welcome). * You show a strong scientific curiosity and are ready to dive deep into the theory of lithography systems, particularly in the domain of illumination. * You are comfortable in an interdisciplinary, team-oriented environment and have demonstrated in various projects that you enjoy working self-motivated and structured according to scientific methods. * You can communicate effectively and convey the most important aspects of your work to people with different technical backgrounds. * Good programming skills, preferably in Python, C++, Julia or Matlab. * Experience and interest in sustainable software development are welcome.
