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
