Calibration Engineer (Compute Test ,Agoura Hills, CA)
$132,900 - $212,600 USD yearly
Originally posted 16 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
The Teradyne Hardware Engineering team is looking for a technically driven Calibration Engineer to develop calibration software, algorithms, and validation for instruments within the Compute Test division. You will own calibration tasks for assigned instrument functions.
What you'll do
- Develop calibration programs and embedded algorithms for Digital, DC, AC, and RF instrument calibration in ATE equipment, using C/C++/C# and Python. - Contribute to calibration strategy documents that define the HW circuits needed for instruments to meet accuracy specifications. - Support HW error budget development and offline and online validation of error terms, using statistical analysis. - Develop offline and online tests that validate instrument calibration and HW performance. - Debug problems found by calibration programs and work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective action. - Develop programs that bring external measurement equipment (DMMs, spectrum analyzers, power meters) into calibration and validation programs.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or a related field with equivalent experience), 5 or more years of relevant experience. - Experience writing programs and algorithms for instruments or measurement systems in C, C++, C# and/or Python. - Understanding of analog and digital circuit fundamentals: op-amps, ADC/DAC, noise, offset and gain error. - Hands-on experience with bench instruments (DMM, oscilloscope, power supply, spectrum analyzer). - Working knowledge of statistics and data analysis for measurement validation.
Nice to have
- Exposure to calibration strategy documents, error budgets or ATE/semiconductor test. - Experience with C# and automated test frameworks
