Development Engineer MMIC Characterization (m/f/d)

Your tasks

• You will plan, execute, and evaluate high‑frequency and mmWave measurements on MMICs operating above 100 GHz.
• You will independently perform on‑wafer tests using a wafer probe station, including load‑pull, S‑parameter, noise, and other on‑die characterizations.
• You will develop, maintain, and continuously improve measurement methods, test setups, and automation scripts to increase accuracy and throughput.
• You will analyse measurement results and feed the findings back to the design team, performing debugging and root‑cause analysis as needed.
• You will support process‑voltage‑temperature (PVT) analyses, corner‑validation activities, and overall performance assessments of the MMICs.
• You will prepare detailed technical reports and provide release recommendations based on the characterization data.
• You will work closely with design and system engineering groups to iterate and optimise the MMIC architecture.
• You will contribute to the ongoing improvement of measurement processes and reduce cycle times through best‑practice implementation.

Your qualifications

• You hold a degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Physics, or a comparable field.
• You have several years of hands‑on experience in MMIC/RF characterization, including work on high‑frequency and mmWave circuits above 100 GHz.
• You are proficient with wafer‑probe stations and on‑wafer measurement techniques such as S‑parameters, load‑pull, and noise measurements.
• You routinely operate and interpret data from vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and related test equipment.
• You possess strong skills in automating test procedures using Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent scripting environments.
• Experience with load‑pull, noise, or large‑signal characterisation is highly desirable.
• Knowledge of GaAs, GaN, or SiGe technology platforms is a plus.
• Familiarity with PVT analysis, corner‑validation, and the overall MMIC design flow will help you succeed.
• You demonstrate strong analytical, structured, and solution‑oriented thinking, taking full ownership of results while communicating effectively with design teams under tight deadlines.
• Fluent English is required, German language skills are a plus.
