Our corporate research team @ZEISS
We invite you to join our research team that works on surgical assistance functions as an expert for modeling & biomechanical simulations to shape the future of microsurgery. Together with surgeons, our medical business unit, academic partners, and students we are exploring assistance functions for microsurgery which make surgery more reliable, increase reproducibility, and improve surgical outcomes. At the ZEISS Innovation Hub @ KIT where we are turning today’s research into tomorrow’s applications in close cooperation with our partners. Located at the north campus of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), you will work in close vicinity to world-leading research institutes and with many startups co-located in the brand-new building.
