Senior Application Engineer

About the job Tired of making minor tweaks to legacy test programs or handling routine production maintenance? This role is built for senior engineers who want to develop high-performance software and drive advanced test programs for the biggest names in the semiconductor industry.

Our client is a global leader in automatic test equipment (ATE), and their High-Performance Computing (HPC) team is expanding to support rapid growth and high customer demand. You won't be stuck in standard maintenance; you will be taking point on complex, digital test development, working directly with the top 10 global electronics companies to push the boundaries of HPC testing.

What makes this different: Real Development, Not Maintenance: This is pure, hands-on test program development for High-Performance Computing. You will design and code test solutions from scratch rather than managing existing production code.

Work with Industry Giants: You will directly support leading global semiconductor and electronics companies, solving critical digital test challenges at the absolute forefront of the HPC market. Software-First Focus: While grounded in test engineering, this role emphasises strong software capabilities, modern coding practices, and deep platform expertise on industry-leading ATE systems.

Fast-Paced Contribution: Rather than a lengthy runway, you will be onboarded through structured mentorship and hands-on exposure to start contributing directly to active projects within months. Flexibility & Remote-First Setup: Work on-site with established teams in Munich or Böblingen, combined with a largely remote customer-facing model.

What you'll be doing

Develop, code, and optimise complex digital test programs for High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications. Utilise scan-based testing methodologies to ensure high-coverage validation of advanced digital devices. Implement software-driven solutions on premier ATE platforms using specialised test development software.

Collaborate closely with internal technical teams and regional customer engineers to deliver tailor-made test solutions. Adapt and bridge object-oriented code architecture into test program environments to maintain robust coding standards.

What you'll bring: Experience: 5 years of dedicated test program development experience in the semiconductor industry (not production support/maintenance). ATE Expertise: Proven experience with the V93K, SmarTest, Ultraflex or similar platforms.

Digital Testing Competence: Strong expertise in scan-based digital testing methodologies and digital device structures. Software

Skills

Background in object-oriented coding (such as C++, Java, or equivalent languages) applied to test development. Languages & Soft

Skills

Fluent English is essential; German language skills are a plus for local integration. Location: Based in or willing to relocate to Munich or Böblingen, Germany.
