Erfurt, Germany
Division: BU Microsystems & Photonics
Location: Erfurt
As a Development Engineer in the BU Microsystems & Photonics, you lead and support development projects across different project phases. In close collaboration with various X-FAB departments, you ensure successful execution in compliance with internal procedures and guidelines.
Your daily tasks include the planning, organization, and evaluation of experiments. You ensure that all necessary conditions are in place, coordinate execution in the cleanroom, and continuously monitor the progress of the related wafer. Systematic tracking and documentation of processes form a key foundation for your work.
A core aspect of your role is close collaboration with internal interfaces such as Production, Quality, Customer Support, and Engineering. Regular meetings are used to plan, prioritize, and track the progress of projects and activities.
In addition, you take on project management responsibilities, coordinate work packages, and plan timelines. The role requires strong communication skills—both internally and externally—as you align requirements, present results, and support technical discussions.
