Hardware Engineer (Teradyne, Oregon) - Tualatin, OR, United States
$111,300 - $178,200 USD yearly
Originally posted 6 October 2026 by the employer.
Design, develop, and validate high-current, high-power sourcing and switching hardware for semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE).
About the role
The Senior Hardware Engineer designs, develops, and validates high-current, high-power sourcing and switching hardware for semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE).
What you'll do
- Lead bring-up, design verification, and lab characterization of power-delivery modules.
- Develop and execute verification plans using power analyzers, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, current probes, and electronic loads.
- Design protection and fault-response systems, and conduct reliability analysis, derating studies, thermal modeling, stress testing, and failure investigations.
- Collaborate with hardware designers to debug analog, digital, and mixed-signal issues and with firmware teams on control, telemetry, calibration, and fault reporting.
- Ensure modules meet ATE requirements for timing, triggering, synchronization, and software control; develop test programs and support integration.
- Partner with product, test, and silicon engineering teams to define device requirements, mentor colleagues, and contribute to design standards and best practices.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 8–10+ years of experience in power electronics, high-current power delivery, or instrumentation hardware design.
- Experience with power integrity, transient analysis, and compensation and stability design.
- Proficiency with SPICE simulation, power-delivery-network modeling, and PCB design tools.
- Hands-on experience with power measurement equipment and high-current test setups.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills.
Nice to have
- Experience designing or verifying power-delivery modules for ATE instrumentation; knowledge of dynamic voltage scaling, digital power control, and telemetry systems.
- Familiarity with high-current connectors, cabling, low-impedance mechanical design, thermal modeling, heatsink design, and system-level thermal constraints.
- Experience with reliability engineering, derating, and long-term stress testing.
