Precision test systems and manufacturing execution for semiconductors, EVs, and optoelectronics
Chroma ATE supplies test instrumentation and automated systems for high-reliability manufacturing—semiconductors, electric vehicles, photovoltaics, and laser diodes. The stack (C++, Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, CAD tools) reflects deep embedded systems and hardware design work. Current hiring is balanced between engineering and sales roles across mid to senior levels, while pain points center on scaling the engineering team and winning larger semiconductor programs—suggesting the company is chasing a growth inflection in semiconductor test capacity.
Founded in 1984, Chroma ATE is a public company headquartered in Irvine, California, and operates as a global supplier of precision test and measurement instrumentation. The product portfolio spans automated test systems, manufacturing execution systems, and turnkey test solutions for LED, photovoltaic, battery, EV/EVSE, semiconductor, laser diode, flat panel display, and power electronics applications. The company serves both OEMs and contract manufacturers across North America, Europe, and Asia. Current operational focus includes reliability qualification, device characterization, prototype and pilot builds, and client support from order through site acceptance testing.
Chroma uses C++, Python, and MATLAB for core engineering, LabVIEW for test instrumentation, CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor) for design, and Salesforce and NetSuite for business operations.
