Development Engineer – Dynamics and Control Engineering (f/m/x)

Location: Jena, Oberkochen

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

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

As a Development Engineer – Dynamics and Control Engineering (m/f/x), with a focus on dynamics and control engineering, you will play a key role in the development, integration, and validation of complex mechatronic systems in the field of semiconductor mask inspection. You will combine a deep understanding of system dynamics with hands-on experience in commissioning and validating innovative damping and control concepts. Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop and design control and damping concepts for highly dynamic mechatronic systems
• Analyze, model, and optimize the dynamic behavior of complex machine and system architectures
• Plan, conduct, and evaluate experimental validation activities, particularly in the areas of: Modal analysis, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL), Dynamic System identification and Vibration and stability analysis
• Commission, integrate, and test active and passive damping systems
• Develop integration concepts, test strategies, and technical work instructions
• Work closely with experts from mechanical engineering, software development, electronics, and systems engineering
• Contribute to the technical design of the overall system architecture
• Identify and implement optimization opportunities throughout the product development process
• Support the continuous improvement of modern methods and processes in the field of Product Development & Integration

Your Profile

• Successfully completed university degree (Master’s or PhD) in one of the following fields: Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Control Engineering, Cybernetics, Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering/Vehicle Dynamics, or a comparable discipline
• Several years of professional experience in the development of highly dynamic and mechatronic systems
• Strong knowledge of control engineering and system dynamics
• Experience in the experimental validation of dynamic systems, particularly modal analysis and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) methods
• Practical experience in the commissioning, integration, and testing of dynamic systems
• Knowledge and experience in developing and applying damping and vibration reduction concepts
• Experience in preparing technical work instructions and integration concepts
• Understanding of complex system architectures and interdisciplinary development processes
• Structured, analytical, and solution-oriented approach to work
• Very good command of German and English, both written and spoken
