Senior Staff Product Engineer
As a Senior Staff Product Engineer, you will be responsible for bringing new silicon to production. At ElevATE, we design high quality complex mixed signal IC’s that exceed the needs of the ATE industry. We have built an extraordinary team of engineers who are excited to innovate and create challenging future products that will change what is possible in the world of test and measurement.
You will fully utilize broad experience as you delve into the intricacies of high accuracy measurement and performance. Our products need to be able to test any chip that is on the market today, as well as those of the future. You will be responsible for developing test strategies and characterization plans to fully test new products to all datasheet parameters. You will implement testing, record data, analyze results, and document conclusions to determine if chip designs and parts can be released to manufacturing status. This includes coordinating ATE and bench characterization, ESD/LU, and HTOL exercises.
In addition, you will be empowered to help define processes that enable growth and scale to build out a small but profitable company into the number one player in test and measurement. Your contributions will matter at ElevATE and you will be forced to get creative and think outside the box.
