Build Europe's semiconductor future with us!

European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH is the joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP. For the first time global technology leader TSMC is building a semiconductor fab in the heart of Europe, offering cutting-edge manufacturing technologies for next-generation semiconductor products. ESMC represents a shared commitment to strengthening the European semiconductor ecosystem.

For our future fab in Dresden, we are looking for a highly motivated and committed:

Quality & Reliability Engineer – Semiconductor Manufacturing MQR (m/f/d)

Are you ready to help build and shape one of Europe’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing sites from the ground up? As a Manufacturing Quality & Reliability Engineer at ESMC in Dresden, you will act as a key defender of our manufacturing quality, ensuring our in-process wafers meet the highest standards of reliability. You will evaluate risk during production anomalies, manage technical changes, and prevent future failures to ensure zero-defect delivery to our global customers.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 2-week local onboarding directly in office in Dresden to get you aligned with our local team.

Immediately following this, you will embark on an intensive, approximately 9~12-month on-the-job training program in Taiwan. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with world-class technology, build a global professional network, and prepare for your future responsibilities in Dresden.

Job Responsibilities

- In-Process Quality Control: Supervise, monitor, and assess in-process wafers in the fab to ensure production conforms to strict quality baselines.

- Risk Assessments: Perform systematic product reliability risk assessments when unexpected production events occur (utilizing CP, DVS, baking, HTOL, etc.).

- Engineering Change Verification: Evaluate the impact of manufacturing and process changes on final product quality and long-term reliability.

- Qualification & Monitoring:



Execute robust process and product qualifications and establish routine reliability testing schedules.

- Continuous Improvement: Drive projects to reduce customer line and field returns (DPPM) through systematic process improvements.

- Structured Problem Solving: Lead and execute root-cause analyses for complex technical issues using industry-standard methodologies (such as 8D, PDCA, 5-Why, and Kepner-Tregoe).

- Global Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams in Germany and Taiwan to maintain and align quality standards.

Your profile

Must Have

- Education: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.

- Professional Experience: 0 to 3 years of initial experience, internships, or academic project work in a semiconductor fab, microelectronics cleanroom, or a comparable high-tech manufacturing workplace.

- Analytical Mindset: Familiarity with basic quality tools and systematic problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa, SPC).

- Language Skills: Professional working proficiency in English (essential for the training in Taiwan and daily international technical collaboration).

- Mobility: Full willingness and flexibility to complete the 9~12-month onboarding and training program in Taiwan.

Nice to Have

- Direct experience with semiconductor reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, ESD, Latch-up).

- Knowledge of automotive quality standards (e.g., AEC-Q100, IATF 16949, ISO 26262).

- Experience with statistical data analysis software (e.g., JMP, Minitab, R, or Python).

- Basic to conversational German language skills.

Reasons to join ESMC

- Help build a completely new semiconductor manufacturing site in Europe.

- Work in a highly international environment with colleagues across Europe, Taiwan and the US.

- Shape processes instead of maintaining existing structures.

- Participate in global projects and cross-functional collaboration.

- International onboarding including approximately 9-12 months of training in Taiwan.
