About the role 

As a Hardware Tester / Test Engineer, you ensure the functionality, quality, and reliability of hardware and systems through yourexpertiseas well as structured testing and experimental setups. You support products from requirements definitionthroughverification, analyze measurement data, and derive well-foundedrecommendations for action.

You work closely with R&D, Quality, and other interfaces, develop test strategies and automated test procedures. The results are documented in a transparent and traceable manner and serve as a basis for technical decisions and continuous product improvement.
