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 own subsystem-level mechanical design work for complex capital equipment electromechanical systems. This role focuses on requirements translation, design release quality, manufacturability, integration, and verification closure for next-generation semiconductor test platforms used across computing, communications, mobility, and AI infrastructure.

• Drive assigned mechanical designs from concept through release, including CAD models, drawings, tolerance strategy, supplier feedback, design review closure, and verification support

• Develop mechanical components, assemblies, and electromechanical subsystems for next-generation semiconductor test equipment

• Translate system-level and product-level requirements into mechanical design specifications and actionable design solutions

• Perform design trade-off analysis and make clear technical recommendations across product development phases

• Apply GD&T, tolerance analysis, and mechanical design fundamentals to ensure functional and manufacturable designs

• Conduct structural analysis using hand calculations, SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, or similar FEA tools

• Provide technical guidance to less experienced engineers within assigned design or analysis scope
