Are you ready? Join AIXTRON
AIXTRON has two state-of-the-art research and development laboratories: one at its headquarters in Herzogenrath, North Rhine-Westphalia and the other in Cambridge, UK. Both are equipped with latest-generation systems that the teams use to develop new processes, materials and production processes. In addition, there is a cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute in Erlangen in the form of a laboratory team as well as several research and development systems. Our close collaboration with our international sales and service branches ensures customer-focused product development. The Research & Development department shores up AIXTRON’s market position with its innovative products. Investment in developing new technologies and products is always an investment in the future, too.
At AIXTRON, specialist scientists and engineers are researching the next-generation technology trends on a daily basis. Spurred on by the idea of turning ideas into marketable products, they are perfecting existing products and developing innovative materials in tandem with our research partners.
We cooperate with outstanding universities, research centres and industrial partners around the world to deliver complex projects at national and international level. For instance, through intensive engagement with renowned scientists, we are achieving new results in nanotechnology and constantly researching new materials and technologies.
At our application laboratories, we are working on the applications of the future, from LEDs for displays, lasers and detectors for 3D sensor technology, to power electronics for applications used in electric vehicles or high-frequency transistors for 5G networks.
With our research and development, we are paving the way for our customers in the semiconductor industry to be successful with technologies of the future and tap into tomorrow’s markets. Our strength comes from our many years of expertise in highly complex epitaxy processes. We are constantly optimising the status quo, thus improving the performance of electronic and optoelectronic components even more.
The Research & Development department works on modern next-generation systems and constantly enhances them. Our vacancies include lab operations managers, process managers, engineers and experts in the deposition process. Join our internationally connected team of highly qualified and motivated innovation drivers.

Our teams are responsible for developing new mass-produced products. This includes the qualification of semiconductors on new systems that are ultimately passed on to the customer as well as the deposition processes that are used to apply the individual layers to the semiconductors. In a structured product-development process, the teams collaborate with many other departments of the company. For instance, with Marketing, the requirements of the market are analysed in detail and summarised as technical requirements and functions on the basis of this analysis. This enables us to deliver a product that is perfectly in line with the market’s requirements.
AIXTRON provides exciting challenges involving the constant enhancement of complex systems that are in demand all over the world. As a systems engineer, I work to devise, define and validate requirements for improving these systems and future products.

You will find several highlights of our current and completed research projects here:
As a process engineer, I develop epitaxy processes of compound semiconductors in AIXTRON reactors. These compound semiconductors lay the foundations for tomorrow’s technology trends. In my line of work, teamwork and communication are essential. I am often an interface and contact for process-relevant issues across multiple departments, which I really enjoy, because I find this collaboration with colleagues in other departments hugely exciting and motivating.
Sebastian Beer, Process Engineer
I work for AIXTRON as production manager of a pilot line. What I find particularly exciting about this job is the variety of challenges for which we jointly develop solution strategies that move us forward as a company. When we come to work as a team with a smile on our faces, achieve our common goals, and go home at the end of the day with a good feeling, that is my greatest reward.
Michael Schulz, Supervisor Pilot Linie

I am often asked how it is possible to work for AIXTRON for 20 years without getting bored. My answer: because of the dynamic development in those 20 years and my job as a project manager – every year has been different. Project management means a regular change of topics and teams, always embarking on something new. And AIXTRON’s development ensures that there are always plenty of new, interesting topics.
Christoph Giesen, Project Manager
At AIXTRON, every day is different, and there are always new tasks awaiting you. Often, creative solutions are required in order to overcome challenges. I work with colleagues from the various departments, learning lots of new things and constantly discovering new topics. In tandem with our customers, we are working on the technology of the future and constantly pushing the boundaries of what is feasible.
