Opportunity Overview

Teradyne is expanding its centralized mechanical engineering capability in Agoura Hills to support next-generation semiconductor test equipment. This team partners across product development to solve complex mechanical and thermal challenges in high-performance capital equipment, from concept development through integration, verification, and release.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will own subsystem-level mechanical design work for complex capital equipment electromechanical systems. This role focuses on requirements translation, design release quality, manufacturability, integration, and verification closure for next-generation semiconductor test platforms used across computing, communications, mobility, and AI infrastructure.

• Drive assigned mechanical designs from concept through release, including CAD models, drawings, tolerance strategy, supplier feedback, design review closure, and verification support
• Develop mechanical components, assemblies, and electromechanical subsystems for next-generation semiconductor test equipment
• Translate system-level and product-level requirements into mechanical design specifications and actionable design solutions
• Perform design trade-off analysis and make clear technical recommendations across product development phases
• Apply GD&T, tolerance analysis, and mechanical design fundamentals to ensure functional and manufacturable designs
• Conduct structural analysis using hand calculations, SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, or similar FEA tools
• Provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers within assigned design or analysis scope

All About You

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline with typically 5+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree with typically 3+ years of relevant experience
• Experience in mechanical design and product development for complex electromechanical systems
• Proficiency with SOLIDWORKS, PDM or Teamcenter, and mechanical drawing release practices
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and mechanical design fundamentals
• Experience with structural analysis using hand calculations, SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, or similar FEA tools
• Experience collaborating in cross-functional project teams and driving technical work to closure
• Strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills
• Proactive, hands-on mindset with the ability to take ownership of assigned work and collaborate effectively across engineering teams

Preferred

• Experience with semiconductor test equipment, capital equipment, or high-density electronics packaging
• Experience with PCBA/PCB interface constraints, electronics packaging, or dense electromechanical assemblies
• Experience with machined parts, sheet metal, injection molding, castings, and 3D printing
• Familiarity with SEMI standards
• Experience supporting platform-level system designs, scalable architectures, or technical mentoring

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means driving assigned mechanical design scope to closure, making clear design recommendations, managing technical risks, and improving the quality and speed of platform-level engineering execution. The successful candidate will own technical outcomes across CAD, drawings, tolerance strategy, supplier feedback, design reviews, integration, and verification support.

Growth Opportunity

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of subsystem-level mechanical design work and grow as a technical leader within an expanding centralized engineering group. The successful candidate will help improve platform capability, strengthen design release quality, support integration and verification closure, and contribute to a high-impact semiconductor test equipment industry.
