Teradyne is seeking a hands-on Pilot Line Engineer to join our Chicago (Deer Park) engineering team, focused on early‑phase engineering bring‑up and validation of ETS (Eagle Test Systems) platforms. This role is critical during Phase 2–Phase 3 development, where engineering prototypes transition toward stable, manufacturable hardware.
Job Responsibility:
Support early engineering builds for ETS platforms, including prototype and pre‑DV hardware
Execute and support Design Verification (DV) activities during Phase 3 development
Perform system‑level and board‑level bring‑up, identifying hardware, integration, and manufacturing gaps
Partner closely with US‑based design engineers to accelerate issue discovery and resolution
Perform hands‑on debug of electronic boards and systems using schematics, layout data, and test tools
Support minor PCBAs rework and modifications following IPC standards
Conduct HLA (High Level Assembly) support and troubleshooting during pilot builds
Drive failures to root cause, distinguishing design, process, and assembly contributors
Track failures, trends, and yield indicators using Teradyne manufacturing and data systems
Generate clear technical documentation to support internal teams and downstream manufacturing
Support knowledge transfer to global Pilot Line and Contract Manufacturing teams when required
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering or related discipline
Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals (analog, digital, power, grounding, signal integrity)
Proven experience with ATE systems or complex measurement platforms
Demonstrated ability to debug hardware to component level
Hands‑on experience with PCBA assembly, rework, or modification following IPC guidelines
Experience supporting NPI, Pilot Line, or early product development stages
Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, ambiguous engineering environment
Strong English communication skills for collaboration with cross‑functional global teams
Nice to have:
Direct experience with ETS / Eagle Test Systems platforms
Prior role as a Pilot Line Engineer, NPI Engineer, or Hardware Validation Engineer
Experience supporting DV, qualification, or pre‑production builds
Familiarity with yield tracking, failure analysis, and data‑driven corrective actions
Experience collaborating closely with design engineering teams during bring‑up
Exposure to global manufacturing transfers or factory ramp support
