We are looking for an experienced and drivenTest Engineering Managerto lead a test development team forautomotive radar semiconductor products. Based inHamburg, you will play a key role in ensuring our radar ICs meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and automotive compliance. This position requires deep technical expertise in RF/mmWave testing, leadership capabilities, and a strong understanding of automotive quality frameworks such asAEC-Q100,ISO 26262, andIATF 16949.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead a team of test engineers in the development and deployment of test solutions for radar ICs, including wafer-level and final test.
* Define test strategies for new radar products, ensuring coverage of RF, analog, digital, and mixed-signal domains.
* Oversee the development of ATE test programs and hardware (load boards, probe cards) for mmWave radar ICs.
* Ensure compliance with automotive standards and customer-specific radar performance requirements.
* Collaborate with design, DFT, product, and reliability engineering teams to define test coverage and validation plans.
* Drive yield improvement, test time optimization, and cost reduction initiatives.
* Manage demand for test infrastructure including CAPEX proposals.
* Support root cause analysis for test escapes, field returns, and yield anomalies.
* Interface with remote internal test sites and OSATs for production ramp-up and volume support.
* Mentor and develop engineering talent, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
Qualifications:
* Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
* 8+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
* Strong experience in RF/mmWave testing, preferably in automotive radar applications (e.g., 77 GHz).
* Proficiency with ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest, Teradyne) and RF test instrumentation.
* Familiarity with automotive standards (AEC-Q100, ISO 26262, IATF 16949).
* Sound understanding of semiconductor development and manufacturing processes.
* Strong programming skills in C/C++, or Java.
* Excellent communication, leadership, and project management skills.
Preferred:
* Experience with Advantest SMT8, ExaScale, and DUT scale duo interface.
* Experience with radar signal processing and system-level testing.
* Knowledge of FMEA, PPAP, APQP, and statistical analysis tools.
* Skills in working within Agile/Scrum frameworks.
* German language proficiency is a plus.
What We Offer:
* Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives
* Flexible working hours and hybrid work options
