Our Purpose

TERADYNE, where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We are fueled by creativity and diversity of thought in our workforce. Our employees are supported to innovate and learn something new every day.

We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all employees that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team — one that makes better decisions, drives innovation, and delivers better business results.

Opportunity Overview

As an AI Platform Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with engineering teams across Teradyne to apply an AI platform to their real work. You will turn a team’s workflow into a focused, tested integration, show whether it improves outcomes, and leave the team able to run and extend it without you.

• Learn a partner team’s workflow, constraints, data and access dependencies, current process, success measures, and owner.
• Build and test a focused integration through agreed platform interfaces, with appropriate data and access practices.
• Compare results with a baseline using measures such as usage, quality, task success, effort, latency, cost, or failures.
• Make the integration ready to operate, with tests for main and failure paths, useful telemetry and logs, a troubleshooting runbook, and documentation others can extend.
• Support the integration through its first release, then hand it off with baseline results, an agreed owner, and an escalation path.

Bring recurring integration needs to platform owners as evidence-backed proposals for reusable capabilities.

All About You

We seek individuals who share our passion and determination. Our commitment to customer success drives us to go the extra mile. If you’re ready to join us in this mission, take a closer look at the minimum criteria for the position.

• Develop, debug, test, and maintain software used by others in at least one general-purpose language, using Git-based workflows (pull requests, code review, automated tests, CI).
• Understand an engineering team’s workflow and turn its constraints into a clear, bounded software integration.
• Integrate services, APIs, SDKs, and developer tools, including authentication and data handling, and diagnose failures using logs, metrics, or traces.
• Verify AI-assisted changes through testing and review, and judge when AI helps and when simpler software fits better.
• Compare results against a baseline, take an integration through its first release with documentation for an agreed owner, and explain tradeoffs to teams in unfamiliar domains.

Preferred Qualifications

• Building AI skills or agents, using model APIs, C#/.NET development, or forward-deployed and developer-tooling work.
• Containers, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, observability, or retrieval-enabled systems.
