Job Summary

Join ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions in Braunschweig to drive the future of industrial metrology by focusing on high-performance computing for optical measurement systems. This role centers on hardware-near software development, requiring you to design robust software architectures and implement complex algorithms with peak performance across diverse processor platforms, including CPUs, embedded systems, and GPUs. Day-to-day tasks involve heavy use of C/C++ to implement workflows, perform profiling, and optimize time-critical components (runtime, memory, throughput). You will collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams in research, hardware, and production. The ideal candidate possesses a degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, solid Linux expertise, and practical experience in performance-critical, hardware-near development. Experience with GPU programming technologies like OpenCL, Vulkan, or CUDA is highly advantageous, allowing you to set new standards in industrial quality measurement.
