Role Overview

Join a high-performance team driving cutting-edge measurement devices in the domain of high-speed digital and optical from prototypes to mature production. Take ownership to implement adjustment- and verification-routines for these instruments. It starts in strong collaboration with R&D during the development phase by characterizing key components and defining the test strategy for these instruments and leads to a stable production test software solution implemented in C#, based on our own test software platform.

This role is critical to support R&D and the manufacturing team for efficient new product introduction by creating best-in-class test processes for new measurement devices, identifying and applying new technologies and processes and providing automatized test solutions on the way to ensure stable production of high-end measurement devices meeting the requirements and expectations of customers.

Responsibilities

• Implementation of procedures to adjust and verify the performance of high-end measurement devices applying knowledge and experience with RF/optical measurements. This includes defining and implementing test setups/stations, concepts, test procedures.
• Test Software Implementation: Automation of test procedures in an in-house, C# based test platform environment.
• Support R&D in design for testability
• Support R&D in automatized characterization of key components and early prototypes
• Validation of verification and adjustments procedures.
• Technical Expertise: Give advice to management on strategies regarding RF/optical metrology.
• Operational Excellence: Ensure implementation of test processes is suitable for a production environment.
• Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation for the test procedures.
• Communication: Interface and collaboration with international teams in R&D, manufacturing.
