About the Role

Teradyne is seeking a Test Architect to lead test engineering activities for strategic semiconductor test customers. This role involves partnering with customers and internal teams to translate device requirements into production-ready test solutions, defining test strategies, guiding implementation, and resolving complex technical challenges.

Responsibilities

Serve as the test architecture for assigned strategic customers.
Clarify product test requirements, device risks, quality goals, manufacturing constraints, schedule drivers, and technical tradeoffs.
Define end-to-end test strategies covering test content, coverage, insertions, instrumentation, interface requirements, multisite execution, datalogging, correlation, characterization, and production release.
Turn architectural direction into executable plans with clear test partitions, interfaces, implementation stages, validation gates, risk retirement activities, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Guide implementation through feasibility studies, prototypes, test plan and test program reviews, silicon debug, characterization, correlation, and resolution of complex yield, quality, or production issues.
Design for accurate and repeatable measurement, establishing approaches for calibration, uncertainty, limits, guardbands, repeatability, reproducibility, and correlation.
Optimize the complete test solution across coverage, quality, test time, throughput, parallel efficiency, hardware utilization, maintainability, and cost without compromising product requirements.
Develop reusable test methods, patterns, flows, design guidelines, validation assets, and debug practices.
Convert recurring customer needs into scalable capabilities instead of one off account solutions.
Coach test and software engineers in architecture and disciplined test development.
Provide reviews, examples, and practical guidance that strengthen independent technical judgment and execution.
Represent Teradyne in customer workshops, architecture reviews, escalations, and account planning.
Explain risks and tradeoffs clearly and build alignment across technical and business stakeholders.

Requirements

Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or equivalent practical experience.
At least 7 years of semiconductor test engineering experience, including experience defining test strategy or leading technical direction for complex products or programs.
Strong knowledge of automated test equipment, semiconductor devices, test methods, instrument capabilities, test program structure, and production test constraints.
Practical experience with test development, silicon bring-up, characterization, correlation, multisite validation, production release, and test time optimization.
Ability to translate product requirements and failure risks into test coverage, evaluate alternatives, document decisions, and explain tradeoffs to different audiences.
Experience leading through technical influence, collaboration, and mentorship across customer, product, hardware, software, and manufacturing teams.
Confidence working directly with customers during architecture discussions, escalations, and schedule sensitive silicon or production issues.
Strong analytical, written, presentation, and facilitation skills.
Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline (Preferred).
Deep experience with digital, power, protocol-aware, memory, RF, or mixed-signal semiconductor test (Preferred).
Experience with DFT, scan, BIST, pattern generation, device characterization, statistical limit setting, yield analysis, or adaptive test (Preferred).
Experience architecting test solutions for advanced packaging, chiplets, high site count, high power, high speed interfaces, or constrained production environments (Preferred).
