Our customers are the world’s leading electronics companies, and they depend on us to be the wave of technological innovation every day. It’s an exciting business environment and if being part of a global team is something that excites you, Teradyne may be the place for you.

The increasing sophistication and high-performance nature of the Teradyne product line has resulted in a need for a Senior Level PCB Design/Engineer who can integrate with hardware engineer design workflows necessary to physically realize complex HV analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit designs.

Education And Skills Required

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in PCB layout and automated test.
• Experience in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and Cadence Allegro Cad tools.
• Uses Cadence Allegro Cad tools extensively (Allegro 17.2 and above).
  
  

The position reports to the PCB Design Manager in the US with oversight support by the Philippines manager. The role serves as a design function for PCB Design.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Create Component Logical Symbols and Footprints
• Sets up constraint manager design rules and DFM rules.
• Perform routing assessment and project feasibility studies.
• Does complete PCB design from Data entry to Output of fabrication files.
• Some travel may be needed for training, off site meetings.
• Work closely with US PCB Design to resolve DFM/DFT issues.
• All other related duties as assigned by management.
• Act as a PCB design engineer supporting complex circuit architecture / designs.
• Realize PCB designs of high component density and high layer count while balancing the competing needs of the electrical design (e.g., high speed signal routing, EMI / EMC, Signal Integrity, HV creepage and clearance rules) with those of the manufacturing standards (DFM and DFT).
• Participate with fellow PCB designers in best practices for layout and simulation of high-voltage signals as well as analog and power supply circuitry.
• Elicit layout technique best practices from senior design engineers and incorporate those best practices into the PCB Design Group (i.e., gather, document, train others).
  
  

Qualifications

The products produced by Teradyne are dominated by technically sophisticated systems and equipment. Applicants for this position are expected to possess the following qualifications:

• Practical understanding of:
