Job summary

Teradyne in North Reading, MA is seeking an experienced Senior Hardware Engineer to drive advanced board-level hardware development for storage and system-level test products. You will own designs from requirements through bring-up, verification, and release, delivering robust digital, analog, and power solutions and collaborating across engineering disciplines.

The role emphasizes high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR), embedded processors and FPGAs, and hands-on lab debugging.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
• Typically 5+ years of hands-on electronic hardware development experience.
• Demonstrated experience owning complex board-level designs from requirements through schematic development, PCB implementation, prototype bring-up, verification, and release.
• Broad knowledge of digital, analog, mixed-signal, embedded, high-speed interface, and board-level power design.
• Strong understanding of multilayer PCB design, controlled impedance, differential signaling, grounding, manufacturability, and testability.
• Strong laboratory bring-up, troubleshooting, and root-cause-analysis skills.
• Demonstrated technical ownership, sound engineering judgment, and ability to independently solve complex hardware problems.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to provide technical guidance to others and develop broader technical leadership capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop complex printed circuit board assemblies.
• Translate product and system requirements into hardware architectures and detailed circuit designs.
• Develop digital, analog, mixed-signal, and board-level power circuitry and select appropriate components.
• Create and review schematics and supporting design documentation.
• Design embedded systems incorporating processors, microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory, and peripheral devices.
• Design with high-speed interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, and similar technologies.
• Implement interfaces including I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and JTAG.
• Design DC/DC conversion, regulation, sequencing, monitoring, protection, and power distribution.
• Define component placement, PCB stackups, routing constraints, controlled impedance, differential-pair requirements, grounding, and return paths.
• Participate in schematic and PCB design reviews.
• Develop and execute hardware bring-up, characterization, verification, and integration plans.
• Perform hands-on laboratory debug and root-cause analysis of complex board- and system-level issues.
• Independently drive assigned designs and technical issues to resolution.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines throughout the product-development lifecycle.
• Support product introduction, manufacturing, and sustaining activities.
• Provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers.
