Job summary

Experis is seeking a Senior ATE Test Development Engineer in Sylmar, CA to own end-to-end test development for mixed-signal IC devices. You will design, implement, and optimize ATE test programs, run characterization, and drive production readiness with cross-functional teams.

The ideal candidate has deep experience with Kohu DXV/DXG and DIB boards, can migrate tests from legacy platforms, and will mentor others while improving test coverage and yields in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• ATE test engineering experience for mixed-signal ICs.
• Kohu DXV/DXG platform experience for ATE testing is mandatory.
• Develop and execute test methodologies for mixed-signal ICs, not just digital tests.
• Strong ATE test program development, test plans, test cases, characterization, and production test solutions.
• Experience with Device Interface Boards (DIB) to connect ATE to IC/device.

Responsibilities

• Develop, debug, and optimize ATE test programs for mixed-signal ICs.
• Support validation and production test.
• Collaborate with design, validation, and product engineering teams to ensure test coverage and quality.
• Perform characterization, correlation, and yield improvement activities.
• Support test migration and coexistence between legacy and modern ATE systems.
• Develop documentation for test methods, hardware interfaces, and program flows.

Job description

• Primary Requirement: ATE Test Engineering experience focused on Mixed-Signal IC Verification, Validation, and Testing.
• Non-Negotiable Skill: Strong hands-on experience with the Kohu DXV/DXG platform for ATE testing.
• Mixed-Signal Experience: Candidates must have experience developing and executing test methodologies for mixed-signal ICs, not purely digital testing.
• ATE Test Program Development: Strong experience developing ATE test programs, test plans, test cases, characterization, and production test solutions.
• DIB Board Experience: Experience designing/developing or working with DIB (Device Interface Board) solutions that connect the ATE tester to the IC/device.
• Alternative ATE Platforms: If candidates with Kohu experience are difficult to find, profiles with strong experience on Teradyne, Advantest, Chroma, SPEA, or similar ATE platforms may be considered.
• Important: Kohu experience remains the preferred/mandatory skill; alternate-platform candidates should only be considered if strong Kohu candidates are unavailable.
• Legacy Platform Migration: Experience transferring or migrating test cases/programs from legacy or other ATE platforms to the Kohu platform is highly valuable.
• Internal Program Names: Experience with Vega IC, Aviar platform, and Sierra IC is not mandatory; these are internal program names.
• Candidate Search Focus: Prioritize candidates with deep ATE test engineering experience, mixed-signal testing, test-plan development, DIB board knowledge, and characterization.
• Interview Process: Two interview rounds – first with the Capgemini SME, followed by an interview with the customer.
• Urgency: The requirement has been open for an extended period, and additional qualified resumes are requested as soon as possible.
• Submission Strategy: Due to the limited availability of Kohu-skilled candidates in the U.S., suppliers should broaden the search to strong ATE engineers with comparable platforms while continuing to prioritize Kohu experience.
