Maintenance & Integration Expert (m/f/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.

The Maintenance Management area (SMT-OM) is responsible for maintenance processes of SMT secondary equipment and consolidates all manufacturing-related topics. The setup and integration of equipment into the SMT core competencies-such as optical metrology systems and interferometry-create an optimal interface to R&D. In addition, these assets must be kept in good working order through preventive maintenance and repairs.
