Senior Hardware Engineer, (Semi Test Engineering, Deer Park, IL)

Job Title: Senior Hardware Engineer 

Organization & Role 

We are seeking a key technical contributor to join the DC Hardware Development team at Teradyne. The DC HW team drives the concept, design, implementation, release to production, and customer adoption of new high power and precision ATE instrumentation, 

Typical ATE instruments include high performance power supplies, high power VI (Source Measure Units – SMU) and high-speed digital for the semiconductor PMIC, mobile application and automotive markets.  

Typical design challenges include power amplifiers, high density POLs, high speed digital, high performance data converter, system design, high voltage and current design, thermal design, high precision/accuracy designs, complex calibration schemes, design for reliability, design for cost targets, and driving system level trade-offs. 

Opportunity Overview 

Responsibilities include all aspects of instrument design from concept, prototyping, simulation, schematic and layout, verification, documentation, and release to manufacturing. 

Key Skill Areas:

• High level of proficiency designing complex circuits with analog, digital, and power 
• Participate in technical teams in a disciplined approach to design that proceeds efficiently from analysis, simulation, prototyping, verification and product release 
• Ability to interface productively with large and diverse cross functional teams (within all engineering disciplines: SW, FPGA, Mechanical, QA, Factory Applications, etc, and also outside engineering: Marketing, PMO, NPI, etc.) 
• Clearly articulate design trade-offs available to navigate complex design challenges 
• Mentoring/coaching junior engineers 
• Excellent communication skills at all levels of abstraction (from detailed circuit analysis with other engineers, to high level product design approaches to senior leadership) 

All About You

Experience with as many of the following areas is a plus: 

• New product development with complex designs and PCBs, high current density, high speed design, complex mixed signal  
• Low noise switching power supply design

• High speed protocols (PCIe), DDRx memory, and clocking 
• Proficiency with circuit simulation 
• Control loop theory and stability 
• Analog filter design 
• Basic understanding of the ATE industry 
• High performance instrumentation design 
• Low noise amplifier design 
• Mitigation of system level conducted/radiated noise issues 
• Statistical Process Control 
• Development of calibration programs and algorithms using C/C++ 
• HW error budgets using statistical analysis techniques and calibration strategies 

Basic Qualifications & Skills 

• Proven track record of completing multiple product design cycles from concept to high volume production 
• 10+ years of relevant industry experience 

Education

• BSEE or MSEE or equivalent experience

Please note: There is no budget for international relocation.
