The increasing sophistication and high-performance nature of the Teradyne product line has resulted in a need for Senior Level PCB Designer/Engineer who can integrate with hardware engineering and participates as a key person in the PCB design workflow necessary to physically realize complex HV analog, digital and mixed-signal circuit designs.
 
The role serves as a lead interface function between PCB design resources, hardware engineering and manufacturing teams.
 
The position reports to the PCB Design and Product Manager.

• Act as a PCB design engineer for complex circuit architecture / designs.
• On larger designs, lead PCB Design Engineer; guiding the effort of the PCB Designers.
• Realize PCB designs of high component density and high layer count while balancing the competing needs of the electrical design (e.g., high speed signal routing, EMI / EMC, Signal Integrity, HV creepage and clearance rules) with those of the manufacturing standards (DFM and DFT).
• Implement PCB design requirements from the development engineering team.
• Participate in the estimation of PCB design efforts for scope of work and effort.
• Participate with fellow PCB designers in best practices for layout and simulation of high-voltage signals as well as analog and power supply circuitry.
• Elicit layout technique best practices from senior design engineers and incorporate those best practices into the PCB Design Group (i.e., gather, document, train others).
• Team with Engineering and Manufacturing to ensure the highest quality PCB design developments.
• Ability to estimate the scope of PCB design efforts and predict milestones and schedules.

 The products produced by Teradyne are dominated by technically sophisticated systems and equipment. Applicants for this position are expected to possess the following qualifications:

• Practical understanding of:
  • Analog layout
  • High voltage creepage and clearance rules and how to apply them
  • High-speed digital circuit design (i.e., PCIE, DDR4 speed and above
  • Power supply conversion (i.e., implementation and understanding of copper weights and thermal considerations
  • Signal and power integrity knowledge and application
  • RF design (a plus) and / or PCB design that practice these traits:
• PCB design, design processes, fabrication technology
• PCB design constraint capture
• Knowledge of leading-edge EDA tools (Cadence Allegro board design and schematic entry preferred. Knowledge of Cadence Librarian, Spectra Quest SI and Valor DFM a plus.)
