As a growing, engineering driven company, we offer the opportunity to solve complex technical challenges, collaborate with experienced industry leaders, and make a direct impact on products used across the global semiconductor industry. Elevate Semiconductor is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to lead New Product Introduction (NPI) for precision analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits used in memory, AI, computing, and high-performance automated test equipment (ATE) applications. This role owns the production test strategy from first silicon through high-volume manufacturing and works closely with Design, Product Engineering, Applications, Quality, Operations, and external manufacturing partners to deliver robust, cost-effective production solutions. Responsibilities Lead NPI activities from first silicon through production release for precision analog and mixed-signal IC products. Develop complete production test solutions for wafer sort and final test using Teradyne UltraFlex IGXL and associated handlers/probers. Correlate bench measurements with ATE results and establish production test limits using statistical analysis and characterization data. Develop and optimize production test programs for precision DACs, current source/sink products, PMICs, analog interface ICs. Design, debug, and validate load boards, probe cards, sockets, and production hardware in collaboration with external vendors. Drive multisite optimization, parallel testing, throughput improvement, and overall manufacturing cost reduction. Perform silicon debug and root-cause analysis for design, process, package, and test related issues. Work closely with IC Design during schematic reviews, silicon bring-up, and Design-for-Test (DFT) planning. Support qualification, reliability, HTOL, characterization, and customer qualification activities. Develop production release documentation including correlation reports, GR&R studies, guard-banding analysis, and manufacturing specifications. Transfer products into OSAT and high-volume manufacturing while providing engineering support during production ramp. Develop automation tools using Python, JMP, and data analytics to improve engineering productivity and manufacturing quality.
