Job description

Test program development for Digital, PMIC, RF & Mixed Signal products on Bench and (or) ATE primarily on Advantest 93k - SmarTest 7, SmarTest 8. Work closely with design engineers on first silicon debug, device characterization, test program bring-up, and production release activities across our San Jose, CA and Dallas, TX locations.

• Job Title :Test Engineer – ATE / Bench (Digital, PMIC, RF & Mixed Signal)
• Location: San Jose, CA or Dallas, TX

Summary

Tessolve is looking for a hands-on Test Engineer to develop and bring up test programs for Digital, PMIC, RF, and Mixed Signal products on both Bench and ATE platforms (Advantest 93K – SmarTest 7/8). This role is based out of San Jose, CA or Dallas, TX and partners closely with Design, Product, Quality, and Foundry Engineering teams from first silicon debug through production release.

About Tessolve

With a strong footprint across design, test engineering, and product engineering, Tessolve partners with top semiconductor companies worldwide to accelerate time-to-market and product quality.

About the Role

As a Test Engineer, you'll own test program development and debug for complex ICs spanning Digital, PMIC, RF, and Mixed Signal categories. You'll work at the intersection of silicon bring-up, device characterization, and production test — collaborating directly with design engineers to resolve first-silicon issues and drive programs to volume production, out of our San Jose, CA or Dallas, TX site.

What You'll Do

• Develop test programs for Digital, PMIC, RF & Mixed Signal products on Bench and/or ATE (Advantest 93K – SmarTest 7, SmarTest 8)
• Partner with design engineers on first silicon debug, device characterization, test program bring-up, and production release
• Debug digital vectors (JTAG/SCAN/ATPG/Functional/Mbist) and characterize devices across PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature)
• Characterize RF, PMIC, or Mixed Signal IP (ADC, DAC, PLL, etc.)

• Collaborate closely with Product Engineering, Design Engineering, Quality Engineering, and Foundry Engineering teams

What You Bring

• Degree in Electronics / Electrical Engineering
• 2–7 years of relevant Test Engineering experience preferred
• Hands-on experience with Advantest 93K ATE SMT8 (required)
• Experience using bench instrumentation for IC characterization
• Solid knowledge of analog and digital electronics
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a hands-on lab mindset
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to work independently
• Willingness to be based in San Jose, CA or Dallas, TX

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge Digital, PMIC, RF & Mixed Signal silicon programs
• Direct collaboration with design and product engineering teams on first-silicon bring-up
• Exposure to industry-leading ATE platforms (Advantest 93K, SmarTest 7/8)
• A collaborative, growth-oriented engineering culture at a global test services leader
