Opportunity Overview

Teradyne is expanding its centralized mechanical engineering capability in Agoura Hills to support next-generation semiconductor test equipment. This team partners across product development to solve complex mechanical and thermal challenges in high-performance capital equipment, from concept development through integration, verification, and release.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will help design mechanical components, subsystems, and assemblies that enable high-performance semiconductor test platforms used across computing, communications, mobility, and AI infrastructure. This is a development-focused role for an engineer looking to build depth in mechanical design while gaining hands‑on exposure to CAD, GD&T, tolerance analysis, prototype builds, integration, suppliers, manufacturing, and design verification.

• Support development of mechanical components, subsystems, and assemblies for next‑generation semiconductor test equipment
• Contribute to capital equipment electromechanical design under the guidance of senior engineers
• Translate high‑level requirements into mechanical design concepts with supporting engineering analysis
• Create and revise 3D models and 2D drawings using SOLIDWORKS
• Apply GD&T and sound mechanical design practices to support functional and manufacturable designs
• Support prototype builds, integration activities, functional testing, and design verification
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, systems, thermal, reliability, manufacturing, product, and supplier teams

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 are ready to join us in this mission, take a closer look at the minimum criteria for the position.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
• Typically 2+ years of mechanical engineering experience, or an advanced degree with relevant project experience
• SolidWORKS experience required; PDM or similar data management exposure preferred
• Solid foundation in mechanical design principles, GD&T, and engineering drawing practices
• Exposure to structural analysis, tolerance analysis, FEA, prototype builds, or design verification
• Clear communication and documentation skills with a focus on teamwork and execution
• Proactive, hands‑on mindset with the ability to ramp quickly, take ownership of assigned work, and collaborate effectively across engineering teams

Preferred

• Experience with semiconductor test equipment, capital equipment, high‑density electronics packaging, or PCBA/PCB interface constraints
