Calibration Engineer (Compute Test ,Agoura Hills, CA)
About The Position
Teradyne’s Hardware Engineering team is seeking a technically driven Calibration Engineer for its Compute Test division. The engineer develops calibration software, algorithms, and validation for instruments, and owns assigned instrument calibration tasks with guidance from senior engineers and a team lead. The work is performed in a dynamic, multi-site environment and focuses on precision measurement and automated test equipment (ATE). The position reports to the Calibration Software Engineering Manager. The engineer develops calibration programs and embedded algorithms for Digital, DC, AC, and RF instruments; supports calibration strategy and hardware error-budget work; and creates tests to validate calibration and hardware performance. The role also involves debugging issues with cross-functional teams, integrating external measurement equipment into calibration and validation programs, presenting results in design reviews, and helping onboard and mentor interns, co-ops, or new engineers. Candidates must be local to the position location; relocation is not provided. The position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with equivalent experience.
- At least 5 years of relevant experience; a new-graduate master’s degree candidate with strong project or internship work will also be considered.
- Experience writing programs and algorithms for instruments or measurement systems in C, C++, C#, and/or Python.
- Understanding of analog and digital circuit fundamentals, including op-amps, ADC/DAC, noise, offset, and gain error.
- Hands-on experience with bench instruments such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and spectrum analyzers.
- Working knowledge of statistics and data analysis for measurement validation.
- Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn new domains quickly.
- Must be local to the position location; relocation is not available.
- Must not require visa sponsorship; the position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Nice To Haves
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science and electrical engineering.
- Exposure to calibration strategy documents, error budgets, or ATE/semiconductor test.
- Experience with C# and automated test frameworks.
Responsibilities
- Develop calibration programs and embedded algorithms for Digital, DC, AC, and RF instrument calibration in ATE equipment using C/C++/C# and Python.
- Contribute to calibration strategy documents defining the hardware circuits needed for instruments to meet accuracy specifications, applying knowledge of low-level analog and digital circuits.
- Support hardware error-budget development and offline and online validation of error terms, using statistical analysis to determine specification and process compliance.
- Develop offline and online tests to validate instrument calibration and hardware performance.
- Debug problems found by calibration programs and work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective action.
- Develop programs that integrate external measurement equipment, including DMMs, spectrum analyzers, and power meters, into calibration and validation programs.
- Own assigned calibration features end to end with periodic review, and present results in design reviews.
- Help onboard and mentor interns, co-ops, or new engineers on calibration tools and processes.
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits.
- Flexible Spending Accounts.
- Retirement savings plans.
- Life and disability insurance.
- Paid vacation and holidays.
