Description
Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH is the leading manufacturer of lithography optics. Our optics allow chipmakers to produce smaller, faster and more energy efficient computer chips. As we move to smaller and smaller structures, the necessary optics grow more and more complex. Customized simulations and data analytics by highly qualified technical domain experts are essential. These people are not experienced software developers. However, with Python and the right support, we can give them powerful tools to accomplish their task efficiently.
Pioneering Python in a larger enterprise can be challenging. At present, we use Python in selected areas of our product development and production processes. We'd like to share our challenges and solutions with using Python in a heterogeneous company environment. In particular, how can we make Python accessible to non-programmers? How do we ensure consistent development? How do we embed in the non-Python ecosystem of the company?
