Design for Test Engineer

As a Design for Test Engineer (m/f/d) you define and implement robust test concepts for analog and mixed-signal ICs in the automotive environment. You drive test strategies from concept to production, optimize coverage, cost, and test time, and collaborate closely with design and other engineering teams to ensure testability and quality, while supporting functional safety in line with ISO 26262., * 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

In that case you may expect

• 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
