About the role
Teradyne's Integrated Systems Test (IST) Hardware Engineering team is seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer to support the integration, deployment, and troubleshooting of electronic hardware used in system-level test products.
What you'll do
- Lead hands-on integration, hardware bring-up, characterization, validation, and troubleshooting of Teradyne hardware with customer systems and devices.
- Investigate complex hardware and system interoperability issues, reproduce customer-observed problems, develop experiments, and drive root-cause analysis and resolution.
- Analyze schematics, circuit behavior, interfaces, board-level power, and high- and low-speed digital signals using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, digital multimeters, power supplies, and electronic loads.
- Partner directly with customer engineering teams to understand requirements and integration challenges, and communicate technical findings, risks, and recommendations.
- Collaborate across hardware, firmware, FPGA, software, mechanical, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to improve product design, testability, and reliability.
- Support circuit modifications, prototypes, test hardware, and engineering changes.
What you'll need
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of hands-on electronic hardware engineering, integration, validation, or debug experience.
- Knowledge of digital electronics with working knowledge of analog and mixed-signal circuitry, including the ability to read complex schematics and board-level designs.
- Experience with embedded processors, microcontrollers, FPGAs, and interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, or JTAG.
- Working knowledge of board-level power conversion, regulation, sequencing, and distribution, plus PCB concepts including controlled impedance, differential signaling, grounding, and power distribution.
Nice to have
- Experience with semiconductor test, automated test equipment, instrumentation, computing platforms, or complex electronic systems.
- Experience with customer-facing engineering, multilayer PCBA debug, DFM/DFT, EMI/EMC, thermal, signal or power integrity, Python-based laboratory automation, or technical mentoring.
