NPI Technician - High-Speed-Digital Test & Measurement (m/f/x)

We are looking for a highly motivated and technically skilled NPI Technician to join our High Speed Digital Manufacturing team. In this role, you will help develop, run, and improve production processes and contribute to the successful introduction of new products. The focus is on manufacturing high‑performance measurement equipment in the domain of Bit-Error-Rate-Testers (BERT) and Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG). With a strong hands-on mindset, you will support the manufacturing team as well as the engineering team during the development phase. Your work will include manufacturing initial samples and low‑volume prototypes, optimizing production processes, defining design goals and tooling requirements, and training operators to ensure smooth transition into mass‑production.

Responsibilities:

Manufacture and test initial technology samples and prototypes, including optimization and documentation of the associated test and manufacturing processes.

Define manufacturability objectives and implement solutions to enable scalable and efficient mass production.

Install, maintain, and optimize manufacturing tools, test setups, and associated processes.

Provide technical support and training to operations teams, facilitating the global rollout of new products across manufacturing sites.

Qualifications:

Technician certification in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a related discipline; alternatively, a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a comparable field.

Demonstrated experience in developing, monitoring, and optimizing manufacturing processes.

Foundational knowledge in electronics, testing complex electronic systems, and software development.

Familiarity with manufacturing workflows, operation of test systems, and debugging hardware defects in electronic devices.

A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong self-motivation and dedication to meeting development timelines and maintaining world-class manufacturing standards.

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to ensure effective collaboration across teams.

Proficient in both German and English.
