Senior Development Engineer ASIC Characterization (m/f/d)

• You will be technically responsible for the characterization of mixed‑signal ASICs, covering analog circuits, digital logic, and high‑speed interfaces.
• You plan and execute comprehensive characterization campaigns that validate performance across all operating corners.
• You independently design, set up, perform, and continuously optimise laboratory measurements to obtain accurate silicon data.
• You analyze the complex relationships among circuit design, process technology, and measured results to drive insight into block behavior.
• When measured data diverge from simulation, you conduct systematic debugging and root‑cause analysis to identify and resolve the underlying issues.
• You develop, document, and institutionalize new measurement methodologies, standards, and best‑practice guidelines for the organization.
• You automate test execution and data‑analysis workflows using Python, MATLAB, and related tooling.
• You collaborate closely with the stakeholders und provide technical leadership and coaching to junior engineers

• You hold a degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or a closely related discipline.
• Several years of hands‑on experience in mixed‑signal ASIC characterization is required.
• You have deep expertise in analog and digital circuit design, high‑speed interfaces (ADC/DAC, SerDes, etc.), and signal‑integrity measurement methods. Proven ability to independently set up, run, and interpret laboratory measurements is essential.
• You are proficient with complex test equipment such as oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, source‑measure units, and high‑frequency measurement tools.
• Experience in automating measurements and analyzing data using Python, MATLAB, or similar environments is a must.
• You can break down complex technical problems into structured analyses and devise robust, independent solutions.
• A strong sense of ownership, a high degree of autonomy, and an uncompromising commitment to quality are expected.
• Fluent English is required, German language skills are a plus.
