At AIXTRON, you can look forward to exciting projects, interdisciplinary teams, and the opportunity to be at the forefront of technological advancement.

Your challenge

  • Independently manage small and medium-sized development projects end-to-end, from initiation through delivery and project acceptance
  • Develop and maintain project timelines, critical path analysis, milestone plans, and dependency mapping across work packages
  • Manage resource allocation by identifying staffing needs and submitting resource requests to line managers
  • Proactively identify, assess, and report project and product risks; develop and implement mitigation strategies
  • Track and report on project KPIs, forecasts, customer-facing risks, and milestone achievements
  • Build and develop cross-functional project teams in coordination with line managers



The skills needed

  • Bachelor's degree or above in engineering, natural sciences, or a related technical field
  • At least 2 years of hands-on project management experience, ideally in the semiconductor, high-tech, or related manufacturing industry
  • Strong expertise in project planning, scheduling, and critical path management
  • Familiarity with stage-gate processes, quality gates, and structured deliverable acceptance
  • Analytical and structured approach to complex problems; comfortable making decisions with incomplete information under time pressure
  • Excellent communication skills — clear, audience-appropriate messaging for technical and executive stakeholders alike, combined with strong active listening
  • Open, transparent working style with a genuine interest in continuous learning and process improvement

What you can expect from us

  • Flexible working hours: At AIXTRON, you can take a flexible approach to organizing your working day (without fixed core hours), work on the move, and switch between company office and mobile office.
  • Vacation: You will receive 30 vacation days by default. In addition, you can increase your annual leave through a salary conversion model.
  • Profit sharing: As an employee, you have the opportunity to participate in the company’s success and benefit from a profit-sharing scheme.
  • Health: We are committed to providing support for your physical and mental health, e.g., through regular health campaigns.
  • Personal development: It is important to us that you continue to evolve your skills, be it with the help of our own AIXTRON Academy or through personalized development programs.
  • Corporate Benefits: As part of our Corporate Benefits program, you benefit from exclusive discounts with numerous partner companies.
  • Retirement benefits and additional insurance: We support your retirement planning and offer capital-forming benefits as well as individual supplementary insurance options.
  • Catering: In our company cafeteria, you can enjoy subsidized meals as well as fresh seasonal fruit baskets.
  • Open corporate culture: We foster an open and respectful culture – first-name terms – that extends across all hierarchical levels.
  • Sustainability and mobility: We are committed to sustainability and provide EV charging stations for cars and bicycles, as well as convenient transport connections and free parking spaces.
