The presentation of the Kontron AIS Award for the best bachelor's degree in computer science was our highlight at OUTPUT.DD 2025.
OUTPUT.DD is the project showcase of the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden. It offers students and their work a great platform and gives us as a company the opportunity to connect with the next generation of tech talent. Whether through thesis projects, internships or exciting entry-level positions, students can launch their careers with us.
A special moment was honoring Rio Klatt, who completed his bachelor’s degree with a top grade of 1.0. For this outstanding achievement, he received the Kontron AIS Award. Rio is now starting his master’s program in Copenhagen and we wish him all the best for this next chapter.

Under blazing sunshine and real summer heat, we took to the market square in Jena for our very first Jobwalk, ready to answer questions from job seekers, career starters and the simply curious. And we had a great time doing it!
From software developers to sales professionals — interest in Kontron AIS and our locations in Jena and Dresden was high. What we especially appreciated were the personal conversations, the openness of the visitors and the many great discussions about career opportunities with us.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by! We’re looking forward to seeing you again and to receiving your applications!
Not even stormy weather and rain could dampen our spirits. What a fun run at this completely sold-out event! The Rewe Team Challenge in Dresden, with 30,000 runners, was the biggest sports party in town and of course our TeamKAIS was right there at the starting line!
Six Kontron AIS teams took on the 5 km course: team spirit, cheering each other on, and running into the stadium to the sound of celebratory music was a pure adrenaline rush.
By the way, our team “AIS-Endlosschleife” achieved a sensational 52nd place out of more than 2,750 mixed teams! Congratulations to the members of that team and to all the other AIS runners.
Doing sports together is so much fun, so we’ll definitely be back next year. But next year we’re ordering sunshine again, okay? :-)
What does it really look like when an employer cares about their team’s health? It looks like a day full of energy, relaxation, and a whole lot of mindfulness!
Our Balance Day was an absolute highlight, and this time everything revolved around stress prevention, relaxation, and mindful self-care.
Here’s how we recharged on Health Day:
Smoothie rower for a vitamin boost
Delicious finger food for in between
Vital screening and cardio check for good health
Progressive muscle relaxation and autogenic training for mental balance
Online talks on mindfulness at work and reducing family stress
Outdoor Tabata for everyone who wanted to burn off some energy
Would you like to join our Team KAIS and enjoy a health day like this yourself? We still have open positions - just scroll down!
Together for a cleaner environment!
Over the weekend, several of our colleagues and their families actively took part in cleaning up the Elbe river meadows — equipped with trash bags, gloves, and plenty of team spirit.
We want to truly live corporate social responsibility and take ownership: for our city of Dresden, for our environment, and for the society in which we live and work.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and lent a hand! Thanks to you, the Elbe meadows are cleaner once again.
We owe this donation entirely to our employees!
Last week, our Managing Director Michael Jacob was able to present a donation check for EUR 1,830 to Karin Enke, Managing Director of GESOP gemeinnützige GmbH. GESOP, as an independent non-profit provider of social psychiatry, offers various projects such as housing, care, therapy, and counseling services for people with mental illnesses and/or addictions.
Many of our colleagues chose last year to forgo their birthday gift from Kontron AIS and instead made the money available for a social cause. In 2024, an incredible EUR 1,830 was raised, which we were able to donate to GESOP in support of their wonderful work helping people with mental health issues.
If you would like to learn more about GESOP GmbH, you can find information here https://www.gesop-dresden.de/.
In the summer of 1990, eight automation and information engineers in Dresden set themselves an ambitious goal: they wanted to improve the industrial automation of vacuum technology systems based on real-time control systems and make production processes more efficient. This led to the founding of today’s Kontron AIS GmbH in 1990.
What began with a small team has grown into a globally successful company with more than 250 employees. We have many reasons to be proud: pioneering spirit, sustainability, international projects in over 45 countries, strong teamwork, and a collaborative partnership with our customers and cooperation partners.
In 2025, we celebrate our 35th company anniversary!
We did it!
Can someone pinch us? We've been named Best Employer in Dresden 2024 by kununu in the category of large companies! Wow!
A huge thank-you to our entire #TeamKAIS - this wouldn’t have been possible without you. Your motivation, creativity, and team spirit are what make our company what it is!
And of course, a big thank-you to everyone who rated us. Your feedback shows us that we're on the right track when it comes to company culture.
We're celebrating this success and we look forward to shaping the future together with you!
We kept our promise and invited the Stadtradeln winning team from DUALIS GmbH IT Solution to the SchillerGarten. The DUALIS team won our company battle and secured victory in Stadtradeln with a 300 km lead.
We also added a small surprise: we are donating €0.10 per kilometer ridden by the Kontron AIS team to the “Coding with Calliope mini” project run by Silicon Saxony e.V. A true passion project that we are very happy to support!
Together with DUALIS, we collected an impressive 17,431 km during Stadtradeln 2024 for the environment and a good cause.
This year, we’re asking for our Stadtradeln rematch! Get ready, dear DUALIS team.
Kaboom, here comes our 2024 Year in Review!
As a team, we worked hard, laughed a lot, pushed keyboards and computers to their limits, drove new ideas forward, had fun together and sometimes even broke a sweat.
But one thing is certain: we rocked 2024!
Let’s kick off a fantastic new year 2025 with courage, energy and the confidence that even greater opportunities lie ahead.
Thank you for being part of our journey!

Erstelle ein Design- und Integrationskonzept für ein Equipment Performance Monitoring Modul als Komponente eines Equipment Engineering Systems (EES Framework) für den Einsatz in hochautomatisierten Fabriken der Halbleiter-, Photovoltaikindustrie und LED-Fertigung.
In den letzten Jahren ist ein nachhaltiger Anstieg in der Anwendung von Advanced Process Control (APC) Methoden in der Halbleiterbranche, LED und Photovoltaik zu verzeichnen. Dieser Aufschwung kann auf den starken Wettbewerb, die Notwendigkeit zur Kostenreduktion, die Entwicklung immer kleinerer Chip-Technologien und effizienterer Zellen und daraus folgend der Druck auf Prozessstabilität und Gewinn – zurückgeführt werden. Equipment Performance Monitoring verbunden mit Fault Detection and Classification (FDC) sind APC Disziplinen, die sich nicht nur auf die Erkennung von Maschinenfehlern beschränkt, sondern das Ziel verfolgt die Quelle des Fehlers zu identifizieren, um somit die Produktivität der Maschinen zu steigern.
Mit dieser Arbeit soll ein Konzept für die Integration des EPT Moduls TFM (Total Fab Monitoring) der Kontron AIS in das EES Data Framework der Kontron AIS entwickelt werden.
Bei der Bearbeitung erhält man einen Einblick in aktuelle Chipfertigung und Zellproduktion deren Prozessabläufe und Automatisierung und kann sich mit den neuesten Technologien, Standards und Trends vertraut machen.
DEINE AUFGABEN
- Analyse des bestehenden EPT Module (TFM) und des EES Data Client Framework (EES) seiner Module und Schnittstellen
- Anforderungsanalyse basierend auf einem Studium und Bewertung der von SEMI definierten standardisierten Funktionen für EPT (SEMI E10).
- Ausarbeitung eines Designkonzepts für die Implementierung
- Prototypischer Entwurf, Implementation und Test
- Aufbau eines Demonstrators und Dokumentation Lösung
- Regelmäßige Reviews und Präsentation der aktuellen Projektzwischenstände
DAS BRINGST DU MIT
- Gute Kenntnisse in .net / C#, WPF / WinForms, XML
WAS DICH BEI UNS ERWARTET
- flache Hierarchien, kurze Kommunikationswege & ein offenes Umfeld
- eine fordernde sowie spannende Aufgabe, die du gemeinsam mit deinem Fachpaten lösen kannst
