Are you up for the challenge?
Position Overview We are looking for a Senior/Staff ATE Test Engineer to join our AI accelerator chip team at Axelera AI.
You will own the development, optimisation, and deployment of production test programs for our cutting-edge AI accelerator SoCs — from early silicon characterisation through high-volume manufacturing.

You will have the resources, mandate, and cross-functional access to implement sophisticated test strategies — and the proximity to design and product teams to see your feedback shape future silicon generations. If you want to be the ATE expert at a company building the next wave of AI hardware, this is that role.
