(Senior) Development Engineer

What you will do

• Develop next‑generation discrete ESD and TVS protection devices for high‑speed, RF‑sensitive and automotive applications.
• Drive and execute technical work packages in product‑development projects, working across device design, simulation, package, technology, application requirements and product qualifications.
• Act as system architect, taking ownership of product performance, technical concept definition and execution.
• Translate customer, application and roadmap requirements into technical product requirements spanning device concept, front‑end technology, back‑end technology, package, chip design and product performance.
• Contribute to the technical roadmap by identifying future requirements for protection, filtering, signal integrity and system‑level robustness.
• Drive and contribute to semiconductor, EM and SPICE simulations, as well as SEED‑based system‑level ESD analysis.
• Link up with internal and external technical communities in ESD/TVS protection, RF/SI and EMC to bring new insights into product development.
• Continuously build and broaden your technical expertise and influence the technical direction for sustainable business success.
• Depending on seniority, mentor other engineers and act as a recognised expert in your technical field.

What you will need

• Master’s degree, or PhD, in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, RF Engineering, High‑Speed Electronics, or a comparable field.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor physics and devices, industrial semiconductor technologies and semiconductor product development processes.
• Hands‑on experience with TCAD tools and SPICE modelling.
• Experience with SEED methodology and CST or comparable electromagnetic simulation tools is advantageous.
• Knowledge of S‑parameters, high‑speed applications and RF/signal‑integrity behaviour.
• Knowledge of common‑mode filters, common‑mode chokes, integrated coils, passive RF filters or integrated passive devices is highly beneficial.
• Python programming skills and openness to using software and AI‑based methods to improve engineering, simulation and data‑analysis workflows.
• Strong quality mindset and ability to balance technical performance, manufacturability, reliability and industrial production requirements.
• Relevant professional experience in semiconductor product development, ESD/TVS protection, RF/SI, EMC or simulation is an advantage.
• Strong team player with an ownership mindset and the ability to lead cross‑functional alignment, drive technical solutions forward and manage stakeholders effectively.
• Ability to perform under change, learn continuously and grow into broader technical responsibility.
• Fluency in English; German is a plus.
• Very good verbal and written communication skills.
