Automation Concepts Intern - Design and Simulation

ZEISS Microscopy - Innovation down to the smallest detail  

ZEISS Research Microscopy Solutions is a world leader in the manufacture of microscopy systems for the visualization of the tiniest structures and particles in the fields of research and science. Our light, electron and X-ray microscopes as well as software solutions that utilize AI technology enable groundbreaking discoveries in life science, materials and industrial research as well as for education and clinical practice. Renowned scientists rely on ZEISS microscopes for their research, including Robert Koch, who discovered the tuberculosis pathogen around 1900.  

As an intern in the ZEISS Automation & Integration team, you will work closely with the Concept Team and Mechanical Engineering. You will support the development of customized automation solutions for loading and unloading ZEISS measuring systems such as CMMs, ScanBoxes, CT systems or microscopes. These solutions typically include fully automated or semi-automated workflows for applications in quality labs, the automotive industry, manufacturing, medical technology, electronics and other industrial fields.
