Senior Test Engineer (m/f/d)

Join Renesas’ Automotive Test Competence Center (ATCC) in Dresden and play a key role in delivering high-quality semiconductor solutions for automotive and industrial applications.

As a Senior Test Engineer (m/f/d) , you will take ownership of test development across the product lifecycle - from characterization and validation to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). You will design and deploy state-of-the-art ATE test solutions, drive yield and test efficiency improvements, and act as a technical expert within cross-functional teams.

This is a fully qualified professional role, where you will independently solve complex problems, influence technical direction, and contribute to best practices across projects.

Responsibilities

Develop and optimize test strategies and patterns to enhance coverage, quality, and test efficiency; Design, implement, and deploy scalable ATE test solutions (hardware and software) for production; Architect and maintain a modular, reusable test program framework to support multiple products and platforms; Lead the design and validation of load boards and test hardware, ensuring robustness for high-volume manufacturing; Analyze and continuously improve yield, cost-of-test (CoT), and product quality, ensuring compliance with industry standards; Support and collaborate with system validation teams on device characterization, correlation, and performance analysis; Contribute to cross-functional peer reviews, driving best practices, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across teams

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field; Typically, 5+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering; Proven hands-on experience with ATE for analog/mixed-signal devices (Advantest V93k desirable); Knowledge of Design for Testability (DfT) concepts and implementation; Knowledge of ATE programming (C/C++ and Java); Experience in statistical data analysis (Excel, JMP or equivalent); Experience in hardware debug and measurement techniques; Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced, global environment; Fluent in English skills (written and spoken)
