Job description

The ams OSRAM Opto Semiconductors business offers high-performance opto semiconductor components and in-depth support for state-of-the-art system solutions based on innovative semiconductor light sources. The Business Unit can look back on almost fifty years of production and development expertise.

• Lead in the development of new product testing for LED, & microLED with IC driver, to ensure product achieved desired robustness performance
  Lead test handling and test process development for new products, including equipment concept definition, selection, specification, supplier engagement, TCO evaluation, setup, qualification, and release.
• Act as test integrator and technical project lead, working cross-functionally to ensure test readiness aligned with project milestones, cost targets, and customer requirements, including sample, pre-series, and ramp-up builds.
• Drive data-driven failure analysis and root cause investigations using large datasets from testing, production, BI systems, and customer returns to identify trends, anomalies, and failure mechanisms.
• Develop and maintain automated data analysis and statistical tools (e.g. Python, Databricks, MATLAB) to support product quality, test performance monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Lead electronics and failure analysis activities, define and coordinate bench tests, and act as a technical expert and key contributor in FAR core teams.
  Proactively drive continuous improvement initiatives and define the department’s test equipment and capability roadmap in alignment with the organization’s product roadmap.

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Mechatronics, Electronic Engineering, Photonics, Physics, or Computer Science, with semiconductor testing and electronics exposure
• Min 3-5 years’ experience in semiconductor/electronics, across R&D and manufacturing, including NPD, test development, and production ramp-up
• Strong expertise in semiconductor test engineering, IC test platforms (e.g., Advantest, NI PXI), electronics fundamentals, and failure analysis (FAR, root cause, returns)
• Solid data and statistical analysis skills (MSA, SPC, correlation) with proficiency in Python and tools like SQL, MATLAB, PySpark/Databricks
• Ability to lead or coordinate technical activities, including test development, failure analysis, and cross-functional task forces
• Effective collaborator across Product Development, Quality, Operations, Suppliers, and international teams; global exposure is a plus
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex topics clearly to diverse stakeholders
• Independent, data-driven, and proactive problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset and willingness to learn new technologies
