As a student, you work with your colleagues on an equal footing and create ideal conditions for your future career.

Step out of your comfort zone, excel and redefine the limits of what is possible. That’s just what our employees are doing every single day – in order to set the pace through our innovations and enable outstanding achievements. After all, behind every successful company are many great fascinating people.

In a spacious modern setting full of opportunities for further development, ZEISS employees work in a place where expert knowledge and team spirit reign supreme. All of this is supported by a special ownership structure and the long-term goal of the Carl Zeiss Foundation: to bring science and society into the future together.

Join us today. Inspire people tomorrow.

Diversity is a part of ZEISS. We look forward to receiving your application regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, philosophy of life, disability, age, sexual orientation or identity.

Apply now! It takes less than 10 minutes.

Your role

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.

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.

You will be part of a team that develops and optimizes system architectures. You may work on projects involving the modeling and simulation of fluid-dynamical systems in dilute regimes. In these projects, statistical particle-based methods are used to directly simulate interactions between atoms and molecules.

System Modeling: You will build simulation models that represent components of our systems to assess and improve their performance.

Simulation: You will conduct detailed simulations where the atomic nature of the flow is relevant, and therefore the Navier–Stokes equations are no longer valid.

Evaluation: You will evaluate the obtained simulations, refine and extend your simulations, and contribute your results to further develop our systems and methods.

Your profile

Studies in physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, simulation technology, or a comparable field with excellent academic results

Knowledge of modeling atoms and molecules and their interactions with each other and with other structures

Knowledge of fluid mechanics and modeling it in the continuum, transitional, and free-molecular regimes

Advantageous ability to perform multiphase 2D/3D CFD simulations (e.g., CFX, Fluent, Star-CCM+)

Analytical, creative, reflective, and autonomous work style, and an interest in working as part of a team to develop innovative solutions

Good German and English language skills (speaking and writing)

Sounds exciting? Then become part of #teamZEISS and help us shape the future! Please provide your complete application documents (CV, transcript of records, etc.).
