Job Description

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.

Your tasks:

• 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
