• Several years of professional experience in analog/mixed‑signal IC design, preferably in automotive applications
• Proven experience in Design‑for‑Test (DfT) for AMS circuits, including production test concepts and fault coverage strategies
• Strong knowledge of analog circuit design (e.g. amplifiers, data converters, sensor interfaces, power management blocks)
• Solid understanding of automotive standards and requirements (e.g. AEC‑Q100, ISO 26262, functional safety concepts)
• Experience with test cost optimization, yield improvement, and quality metrics in high‑volume production
• Good knowledge of statistical methods, data analysis, and characterization techniques
• Strong analytical thinking and the ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly across disciplines
• Experience in cross‑functional collaboration with design, verification, product engineering, and test engineering teams
• Fluent English skills (written and spoken)

Responsibilities

• Defining and implementing robust DfT architectures for analog and mixed‑signal ICs in automotive applications
• Driving test strategy development from concept phase through production, ensuring compliance with automotive quality and safety standards
• Introducing and maintaining a pipeline for test innovations, with a focus on improving coverage, quality, and cost efficiency
• Defining and achieving best‑in‑class targets for test coverage, test time, and overall test cost
• Analyzing production and characterization data to identify yield limitations and drive continuous improvement
• Supporting and influencing analog design teams to ensure testability is integrated early in the design phase
• Developing and promoting reuse concepts for DfT structures, test methods, and evaluation flows across multiple projects
• Collaborating with product engineering and test engineering to optimize ATE test programs and qualification flows
• Contributing to functional safety concepts (e.g. diagnostic coverage, safety mechanisms) in alignment with ISO 26262

Benefits

• A future‑proof job at an innovate high‑tech company that is well‑established in the global market and has a flat organisation and a positive hands‑on culture
• Challenging and varied tasks performed in an innovative and collegial work environment
