Opportunity Overview

The Innovation Lab is an advanced R&D team that is part of the Semiconductor Test Division at Teradyne. We have a dual charter to technically support the growth of the division and company:

• Create long term differentiated solutions for our core Semiconductor Test business by exploring new technologies and architectures to be applied against current and emerging key requirements for our customers.
• Working with our Business Development Office, develop differentiated solutions to new business opportunities that are relatively adjacent to our core business. These will generally enable new businesses within our existing customer base.

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will be involved in the product definition and development of optical test solutions for emerging markets, such as microLED. This role is an integral part of a dynamic, cross-functional team dedicated to developing innovative solutions for emerging markets within semiconductor test. Our team fosters a collaborative culture that encourages contributions across a broad range of disciplines. You’ll be hands-on throughout the project lifecycle and supported by engineers across the organization to help bring your ideas to life.

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies from concept through release
• Translate product and system requirements into detailed mechanical designs and drawings
• Perform analyses and calculations to support design decisions (structural, thermal, tolerance, etc.)
• Apply GD&T and best practices for robust, producible designs
• Support prototype builds, testing, failure analysis, and design iteration, as well as troubleshoot and resolve complex design, manufacturing, and field issues
• Create and maintain CAD models, drawings, and engineering documentation
• Participate in and lead design reviews (peer, preliminary, critical)
