Job description

We are looking for an experienced and driven Test Engineering Manager to lead a test development team for automotive radar semiconductor products. Based in Hamburg, 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 as AEC-Q100, ISO 26262, and IATF 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

  • Relocation support for international candidates

  • A collaborative, high-tech environment in the heart of Hamburg

  • Opportunities to shape the future of autonomous driving and ADAS technologies
