European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH is the joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP. For the first time, global technology leader TSMC is building a semiconductor fab in the heart of Europe, offering cutting-edge manufacturing technologies for next-generation semiconductor products. ESMC represents a shared commitment to strengthening the European semiconductor ecosystem.

For our future fab in Dresden, we are looking for a highly motivated and committed:

Become the heart of our fab automation. The Automated Material Handling System (AMHS) will be the nervous system of our fab. As an AMHS Hardware Engineer, you’ll be a technical expert, designer, problem-solver, and team leader. You’ll ensure that our wafer transport systems (transfer tools, sorters, N2 systems) operate at maximum efficiency.

• You will be responsible for the installation, commissioning, and continuous improvement of our AMHS hardware.
• For complex issues, you will conduct root cause analyses (8D, FMEA, SPC) and implement sustainable solutions.
• You will lead cross-functional projects aimed at improving productivity, quality, and cost efficiency—from planning through to performance review.
• You will evaluate new equipment and materials, work closely with suppliers, and develop in-house hardware solutions to meet operational needs.
• You will lead and mentor a team of technicians and junior engineers, share your knowledge, and foster team spirit through clear communication.
• You will actively assist with installation and coordinate upgrades in close collaboration with other departments.

• You are a proactive team player who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and is willing to take on responsibility.
• A Master’s degree in Engineering, such as Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Automation, or a related field.
• Professional experience in the semiconductor industry is required.
• In-depth knowledge of optimization algorithms, control systems, and mechanical automation.
• Proficiency in quality tools such as SPC, FMEA, and 8D problem-solving.
• Hands-on mentality, resilience, and the ability to motivate and lead teams professionally.
• Fluent in English (company language). Basic communication skills in Mandarin or German is a plus.
• Available for on-the-job training in Taiwan, 9 to 12 months.

• Security & Perspective: A permanent employment contract and career advancement opportunities in one of Europe's leading semiconductors fabs.
• Company Pension Plan & Financial Benefits: We support your financial well-being with our robust company pension plan. As an ESMC employee, you also benefit directly from TSMC’s performance through an exclusive Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
• Relocation Support for Dresden: Moving for us? We’ll provide you with all the support you will need for your relocation and your start in Dresden.
• Training & Development: Depending on your position, you will gain a deeper understanding of the processes involved in operating complex semiconductor equipment through unique hands-on training at the TSMC Newcomer Training Center, while continuously expanding your knowledge.
• Health & Well-Being: An annual budget for your health and well-being (e.g., for sports classes, massages, or relaxation) helps you stay fit.
• Meals & Transportation: Enjoy a daily meal allowance as well as a subsidized public transportation (e.g., for the Deutschlandticket) in Germany.
