53d•$175,300 - $280,600•Onsite

About The Position

The Platform-Digital Systems Engineering position is a highly visible technical leadership role responsible for defining customer-facing test solutions and shaping the architecture of next-generation digital instrumentation for ATE systems. Digital instrumentation aims to address the test needs for AI, high performance compute, advanced memory, mobile and advanced logic devices. In this role, you will serve as a trusted technical leader at the intersection of customer roadmaps, semiconductor device trends, system architecture, and product execution, translating complex technical requirements into differentiated instrumentation and platform solutions. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise, systems-level judgment, and the ability to lead through influence by aligning teams, driving architecture decisions, and guiding technical strategy across hardware, software, firmware, and test methodology.

Requirements

10+ years of engineering experience, including significant experience as a senior individual contributor, system architect, principal engineer, or technical lead for complex hardware/software systems.
Proven ability to lead technical direction across engineering teams, customers, product leaders, and executives through clear reasoning, strong technical judgment, and effective communication.
Strong understanding of digital DFT, semiconductor test strategies, ATE architectures, and production test requirements.
Deep digital hardware/software systems knowledge, with demonstrated ownership of architecture-level trade-offs across performance, signal integrity, timing, scalability, diagnostics, cost, manufacturability, and product extensibility.
Demonstrated curiosity and fluency in emerging semiconductor technologies such as high-speed serial interfaces, advanced memory, chiplets, advanced packaging, and AI/HPC device trends.
Track record of leading ambiguous, cross-disciplinary technical problem solving and mentoring engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and architecture decision-making.
Strong teamwork skills.
Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 10-20% of the time.

Responsibilities

Lead the definition of long-term technical direction for select digital product lines on Teradyne’s flagship UltraFLEXplus tester by analyzing semiconductor, packaging, interface, and test technology trends.
Drive critical architecture trade-offs and technical recommendations for complex digital instrumentation, balancing performance, scalability, signal integrity, cost, risk, schedule, and long-term extensibility.
Represent Teradyne in external conferences, standards discussions, and industry forums to gather technical VOC, benchmark emerging technologies, and identify opportunities for differentiated test capability.
Build credibility with customers, device architects, product leaders, and internal engineering teams as a senior technical leader who identifies inflection points where Teradyne can create competitive advantage.
