Your role in the team

  • You will assume technical and disciplinary leadership of the R&D organization for waveform generators at the Munich site, with a focus on software, digital hardware, and FPGA.
  • You plan, manage, and coordinate cross-site and cross-disciplinary development of software, FPGA, and digital hardware for highly complex signal generators with sampling rates exceeding 1 Tbit/s.
  • You establish the organizational and technical framework needed to reliably meet project deadlines, cost and quality targets, and ensure an efficient development environment.
  • You will be responsible for end-to-end device integration across digital hardware, FPGA, embedded and driver software, DSP, and web applications—including the interfaces to analog hardware.
  • You will take responsibility for the requirements, system, and verification strategy, ensuring simulation-based approaches and clear traceability from requirements through to testing.
  • You identify synergies between development sites and disciplines, drive efficiency gains through the use of modern AI tools, and foster a collaborative, cross-site development culture together with Product Management, device and technology development, and Production.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have completed a degree in electrical engineering, communications engineering, or a comparable field.

Qualifications

  • You have a deep technical understanding of complex electronic measuring instruments or comparable electrical engineering products involving software, digital hardware, and FPGAs, and a strong affinity for technology.
  • You have expertise in systems engineering, requirements engineering, and end-to-end verification of hardware and software systems, and can assess technical interdependencies across disciplines.
  • You actively shape cross-location collaboration, build bridges between teams and disciplines, promote knowledge transfer, and leverage synergies effectively.
  • With strong communication and assertiveness, empathy, and a motivating leadership style, you align teams, challenge the status quo, and forge new paths with a startup mindset. Fluency in German and English, as well as a willingness to travel between the development sites in Germany, round out your profile.

Experience

  • You have extensive experience managing development projects, leading teams, and guiding interdisciplinary teams, ideally as a project manager, technical lead, or in a comparable role at the intersection of software, FPGA, and digital hardware.
  • Your profile includes knowledge of digital technologies such as USB, PCIe, and Ethernet, particularly with a focus on the PHY layer and high-speed data center trends. Experience with test and measurement applications such as arbitrary waveform generators or bit error rate testers is an advantage.
