Job Description

Do you want to go beyond understanding thin-film processes and actively develop and improve them? As a Process Development Engineer, you design processes in the PVD and plasma environment from the ground up - from initial experiments to stable application. You work hands-on with advanced coating systems and bring new material systems into reality while shaping the next generation of coating technologies in a strong R&D environment.

What you will be doing

• check Develop processes: you design and optimize thin-film processes (e.g. PVD, sputtering, plasma), including layer stacks, targets, and process parameters
• check Work hands-on: you operate coating equipment and pilot setups, performing experiments independently
• check Drive innovation: you lead development projects from feasibility studies through process validation
• check Ensure performance: you analyze process stability, uniformity, and material properties and translate them into robust, repeatable processes
• check Collaborate closely: you work with customers, partners, and internal hardware and engineering teams

What you should bring

• check Educational background: you hold a Master-s or PhD in materials science, physics, or a related field
• check Experience: you are experienced in thin-film or vacuum process development (e.g. semiconductor, optics, coating)
• check Methods expertise: you apply Design of Experiments (DoE) with confidence and work data-driven
• check Technical knowledge: you understand thin-film physics, plasma behavior, and material interactions
• check Working style: you are hands-on, analytical, and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders
