As a Senior IC Test Engineer, you will take a leading role in developing, integrating, and optimizing test solutions for IC validation and high-volume production. You will drive test strategy from early development through mass production, ensuring high test coverage, robustness, and cost efficiency.
In addition to hands-on technical contributions, you will provide technical leadership, mentor junior engineers, and act as a key interface between design, product, and production teams.

Your Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Strategy

• Define and drive test strategy and architecture across validation and production phases
• Own test solution development from concept through product ramp and yield optimization
• Lead complex debug and FA activities across silicon, hardware, and software
• Ensure test coverage, quality, and cost targets are met across product lifecycle
• Identify and implement test cost reduction and throughput optimization

Test Development & Integration

• Design and develop advanced test hardware (load boards, probe cards) for validation and production
• Architect and develop scalable test programs and automation frameworks
• Lead integration of ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest, Cohu) with standardized and custom test solutions
• Define characterization plans and ensure robust correlation between lab and ATE

Data Analysis & Yield Improvement

• Analyze test results and failures to improve test procedures, coverage, and product reliability.
• Drive yield improvement, binning strategy, and test limit optimization
• Establish methodologies for data-driven decision making and continuous improvement

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with Design, Quality, and Production Engineering teams
• Influence design-for-testability (DFT) and product design decisions
• Ensure seamless handover from development to production and support manufacturing ramp

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance
• Promote best practices in test development, debug, and documentation
• Contribute to continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and workflows

Your Skills and Experience

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 8+ years of experience in IC test engineering (validation and/or production)
• Strong hands-on experience with ATE platforms (Advantest, Cohu preferred)
• Solid background in mixed-signal IC testing (analog/digital/RF)
• Proven experience in test solution ownership from development to high-volume production
• Expertise in debugging complex hardware-software interactions
• Proficiency in programming (C/C++, Python, or similar) and automation frameworks
• Strong experience with data analysis tools (Python, Matlab, or equivalent)
• Advanced lab debugging skills (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, SMUs, etc.)

• Strong problem-solving and analytical mindset
• Ability to work independently and take full technical ownership
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Experience working in cross-functional and multicultural environments
• Fluent in English; German is a plus

What are your perks?

• A multicultural and international company with over 60 different nationalities
• Project-based activities working with colleagues across the globe
• A start-up and innovation mindset while in the process of scaling-up processes and efficiencies
• Hybrid working model & flexible working hours
• A strong learning environment and regular career discussions
• Company Performance Bonus
• Sport activities and Team events
