SPEA manufactures automatic test systems for semiconductor ICs, MEMS, and electronic boards—a hardware-heavy business reflected in its CAD/simulation stack (MATLAB, Simulink, SolidWorks, Cadence, Xilinx). Active hiring skews toward engineering and design roles, with concurrent projects in machinery design and supply-chain modernization, suggesting simultaneous product development and operational scaling. Cost reduction and supplier optimization appear as primary internal friction points.
SPEA designs and manufactures automatic test equipment for semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, operating since 1976 from Volpiano, Italy. The product line spans in-circuit testers, flying probe systems, mixed-signal testers, power module test cells, and specialized handlers for MEMS, sensors, and RF/UHF devices. Customers rely on SPEA systems to validate product quality and reliability throughout manufacturing. The company operates with 501–1,000 employees and is headquartered in the Turin region.
SPEA's engineering stack centers on MATLAB, Simulink, and SolidWorks for design and simulation, with Cadence and Xilinx tools for IC and FPGA development, and C/C++ for firmware.
Active projects include machinery design for test systems, harmonization of internal processes, logistical integration, and modernization of existing tools—pointing to product and operational development in parallel.
