The employees of Corporate Research & Technology work under the best possible conditions on innovative technologies and the latest application possibilities that benefit all ZEISS business areas - from the Semiconductor Division to Microscopy and Medical Technology.
Your role
In virtual prototyping we computationally emulate a planned product, an idea, or a new design with respect to technical feasibility, overall performance, and applicative value. This is often faster than classical prototyping and allows to pursue unorthodox ideas - and therefore boosts innovation, which is at the core of ZEISS as a technological leader. To this end we focus on advancing optical and some non-optical simulations with high precision at scale. Your role in central research will be to initiate and drive such virtual prototyping activities across the ZEISS portfolio. Utilizing your implementation and prototyping skills you will contribute to advance the development roadmaps for new ZEISS products.
