Messtechnik Ingenieur (m/w/x)

In short

This role at a ZEISS group optics manufacturing company (Carl Zeiss CMP GmbH) in Göttingen focuses on ensuring and improving measurement process stability for optical components and manufacturing. It requires strong expertise in industrial/optical metrology, measurement strategy development, and structured problem-solving, plus close collaboration with production, engineering, quality and IT teams. The role involves project responsibility for introducing new measurement and manufacturing technologies and digitalizing measurement processes. Fluent German and good English are required.

About
Carl Zeiss CMP GmbH is part of the global ZEISS manufacturing network and offers services around the development and production of optomechanical and optoelectronic modules and components. Its core competence lies in the production of highly corrected spherical optical systems, used in particular in high-performance microscopy objectives.
Your Role
•Ensuring stability of relevant measurement processes in the Optical Engineering area; systematic root cause analyses and suitable countermeasures in case of deviations.
•Development, evaluation and optimization of measurement strategies for optical components and manufacturing processes – focus on reproducible measurement results, process capability and reliable decision-making foundations.
•Identification of new or improved measurement methods; accompanying trials and transferring approved solutions into series production.
•Defining requirements for measuring equipment, fixtures, evaluation logics and test procedures; technical preparation of investment needs as well as supporting implementation, acceptance and handover to production.
•Supporting quotation, prototype and series ramp-up processes through technical evaluation of drawings, specifications, customer requirements and manufacturability aspects.
•Close collaboration with production, work preparation, development, quality, purchasing, SCM and suppliers; representing the metrology perspective in cross-departmental projects.
•Documentation of relevant measurement processes, standards and lessons learned; qualifying users through training or technical instruction as needed.
•Independently taking on work packages, partial project responsibility or project leadership in the introduction of new measurement and manufacturing technologies.
•Driving digitalization of measurement processes: data-driven evaluations, automated reports, digital standards/templates; close collaboration with software and IT teams to make measurement results software-supported, reproducible and traceable.
Your Profile
•Completed studies in a natural science or engineering field, e.g. metrology, optics/photonics, mechanical engineering, physics, precision engineering, industrial engineering, or a comparable qualification.
•Solid practical experience in industrial metrology, optical manufacturing, manufacturing metrology, process development or production engineering; project management experience is an advantage.
•Good understanding of measurement chains, measurement uncertainty, repeatability and reproducibility, test planning, and statistical evaluation of measurement and process data.
•Knowledge of optical manufacturing and testing methods as well as in the selection, qualification and series transfer of measurement methods and measuring equipment.
•Confident application of structured problem-solving methods, e.g. root cause analysis, design of experiments, risk assessment and sustainable process stabilization.
•Strong interface competence, clear technical communication and the ability to prepare complex matters appropriately for production, engineering, development, quality and management.
•Independent, analytical and solution-oriented way of working with high quality standards and enjoyment in transferring developments into viable series processes.
•Fluent German, good English in speech and writing.
