As an Electrical Engineer, you are responsible for designing, modifying, and troubleshooting electrical or electronic engineering assemblies, layouts, schematics, and drawings to advance the equipment that supports our technology. Using your technical experience and critical thinking skills, you will perform engineering analysis, generate test reports, develop innovative solutions, and create documentation for product releases. You will also coordinate the procurement and assembly of components, identify sources of critical parts, and resolve technical issues to ensure peak performance.

We are looking for an experienced Engineer (m/f/d) to lead the development, testing, and integration of advanced ASIC-based electronics for high-performance applications.

The role will be a key technical interface between internal engineering teams and external development partners, with a strong focus on ASIC testing, characterization, module integration, and technical project execution. The position can be based at either our Munich/Heimstetten site in Germany or our Delft site in the Netherlands, depending on the candidate.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead ASIC development activities across requirements, solution alternatives, engagement with design and integration partners, and execution planning, including testing, qualification, and system integration.
• Act as the technical interface to ASIC design partners, coordinating requirements, design reviews, technical decisions, risks, and deliverables.
• Define and drive ASIC test, characterization, silicon bring-up, and debugging activities.
• Lead integration of ASICs into advanced electronic and MEMS modules, including flip-chip assembly, interposers, and associated electrical and mechanical interfaces.
• Define test hardware, setups, automated measurements, and data analysis for device and module characterization.
• Coordinate development plans, technical risks, and interfaces across internal teams and external partners.
• Drive technical issues to resolution and support transition to robust, manufacturable solutions.

Qualifications

• Degree in electrical engineering, electronics, physics, or a related field.
• Strong experience in electronic hardware development and testing.
• Experience with ASIC/IC testing, characterization, validation, or silicon bring-up.
• Good understanding of ASIC development and the ability to work effectively with ASIC designers and external design houses.
• Experience with advanced electronic packaging or module integration, such as flip-chip, interposers, MEMS integration, or similar technologies, is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of analog/mixed-signal electronics, measurement techniques, and laboratory test equipment.
• Strong hands-on debugging, problem-solving, and data-analysis skills.
• Experience leading complex technical projects involving multiple disciplines and external partners.
• Direct ASIC design experience is a plus, but not required.
