  • Job Summary

    In this position, you will take technical ownership for the integration and qualification of complex system functions in semiconductor technology. You will develop strategies to enhance integration processes and conduct practical testing.

    Your role in the team

    • Take end-to-end technical ownership for the integration, qualification, and maturity development of complex system functions within advanced semiconductor equipment.
    • Define, drive, and continuously improve integration and qualification strategies across modules, subsystems, interfaces, operating modes, recovery concepts, and overall tool behavior.
    • Validate the interaction between subsystem functions, control logic, user interfaces, safety concepts, diagnostics, recovery behavior, and operational workflows.
    • Structure complex technical issues, break them down into clear problem statements, and drive cross-functional decisions with transparent ownership and follow-up.
    • Leads structured root cause analysis for system integration incidents and translates findings into corrective actions, design improvements, enhanced test coverage, and lessons learned.
    • Support and guide prototype build, commissioning, factory acceptance, system qualification, production transfer, and early customer ramp-up for integration-relevant functions.
    • Create and improve structured documentation for integration status, problem descriptions, root causes, countermeasures, verification results, risk assessments, decision history, and ownership of follow-up actions.
    • Drive continuous improvement of system robustness, availability, serviceability, integration efficiency, and customer readiness.
    • Provide technical guidance to engineers, support decision-making in critical integration phases, identify risks early, and help establish standards, methods, and best practices for repeatable system qualification and production transfer.

    Our expectations of you

    Education

    • University degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Semiconductor Technology, Systems Engineering, or a comparable technical field.

    Qualifications

    • Strong understanding of system qualification, integration testing, acceptance criteria, verification logic, interface validation, and structured assessment of complex tool behavior.
    • Hands-on mindset in laboratory, cleanroom, prototype, commissioning, or production-near environments, with the ability to translate tool observations and data into technical decisions.
    • Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with interdisciplinary and international teams, and to align technical decisions across engineering functions, project stakeholders, and operational interfaces.
    • Strong ownership mindset, high level of structure, and the ability to create transparency in technically complex or unclear situations.
    • Very good English skills; German language skills are an advantage and willingness to travel.

    Experience

    • Several years of practical experience in semiconductor equipment, complex electro-mechanical systems, automation, robotics, system integration, system test, or production-near engineering environments.
    • Experience in analyzing technical issues using data, logs, test observations, and structured problem-solving methods such as 8D, Ishikawa, FMEA, fault tree analysis, or comparable approaches.
