(Senior) Process Development Engineer (m/f/d) (Forschungs- und Entwicklungsingenieur/in)

Working in a cross-functional environment with product, production and quality engineering teams, you will develop and industrialize robust wafer fabrication processes that enable cost-efficient, scalable and high-performance semiconductor products. You will act as a process architect within development projects, translating product requirements into manufacturable process concepts and ensuring successful transfer into stable, automotive-qualified production.

This is your new job

• Define and integrate robust, scalable wafer fabrication flows by combining and optimizing unit processes
• Own and drive end-to-end process development from concept to stable high-volume manufacturing within cross-functional projects
• Ensure manufacturability and industrial readiness, including alignment with production, quality and automotive qualification requirements
• Optimize and balance process performance (yield, cost, quality, robustness) to meet competitive product and manufacturing targets
• Act as key technical interface between development and production, driving cross-functional alignment and sustainable solutions
• Benchmark competitor technologies and derive actionable insights for technology development
• Build and leverage expert networks to support technology development and continuously deepen process know-how

This is you

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Semiconductor Physics or a related field
• Several years of relevant experience in semiconductor process development are preferred
• Solid understanding of semiconductor devices and industrial wafer fabrication processes, preferably for discrete power devices
• Hands-on experience in wafer processing and related equipment
• Strong analytical skills and ability to solve complex technical problems in a structured and result-oriented way
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and international teams
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability for technical outcomes
• Good organizational and planning skills with a structured working style
• Fluent in English and German, both written and spoken

As a (Senior) Process Development Engineer (m/f/d), you will play a key role in advancing competitive silicon-based discrete power technologies, driving innovation from process development to industrial manufacturing.
