Senior Test Engineer

Elevate’s mission is to serve our semiconductor and system test customers by providing world class test integrated circuits (ICs) that address the industry’s most complex ATE challenges. We strive to exceed our customer’s expectations, now and well into the future, through designing the lowest power/highest density solutions, with the goal of providing the lowest possible cost of test. We are seeking a Senior Test Engineer with 3–5 years of experience to join our dynamic team in San Diego. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated engineer to grow their skills in analog test development and automated product testing. You will support key activities in our strategic roadmap to unify and optimize our test platform landscape and contribute to the development and maintenance of test programs for production analog ICs. Please note: At this time, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship requirements. Responsibilities Develop, debug, and maintain test programs for analog/mixed-signal ICs in production. Participate in the transition of legacy products from manual test systems to automated platforms (Teradyne Ultraflex and Chroma 3180 Handler). Assist with optimization of test programs to improve quality, reduce test time, and enhance throughput. Support multi-site testing development for both final test (package level) and wafer-level test. Work with external vendors to support load board and socket development. Apply analog test methodologies and collaborate with senior team members to enhance test coverage and robustness. Use industry-standard tools (e.g., Velocity, Test Insight) to convert vectors from simulation files (VCD/EVCD, WGL). Contribute to test documentation, ATE setup, and debug efforts during initial production ramp. Help support RMA analysis and production issues related to ATE. Work with team members and vendors to define ATE test specifications and participate in design and test reviews. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. 3–5 years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, preferably with analog/mixed-signal ICs. Exposure to Teradyne Ultraflex and/or Verigy SmartScale/PinScale platforms. Basic understanding of analog testing principles and methodologies. Experience using vector translation tools such as Velocity, Test Insight, or similar. Familiarity with scan testing, JTAG, memory BIST, and loopback techniques. Solid troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and a proactive attitude. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Preferences Experience with test hardware development (load boards, probe cards, sockets). Exposure to high-volume manufacturing support, especially with overseas vendors. Familiarity with wafer-level test processes and multi-site testing optimization. Knowledge of analog simulation tools and testbench correlation. Enthusiasm for process improvement, test automation, and collaboration across functional teams. Why Join Us?
