Opportunity Overview

Teradyne’s Supply Base Management (SBM) group is hiring a Supply Line Engineer to support New Product Introduction (NPI) teams focused on printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in advanced test and measurement systems.

In this role, you will enable product design through the development of a global PCB supply base capable of supporting complex, high‑reliability designs while meeting strict quality, cost, and schedule requirements. You will work closely with design engineering, operations, and suppliers to ensure manufacturability, scalability, and long‑term supply continuity.

Preferred Qualifications

Influence PCB design and specifications early in the design cycle to optimize cost, manufacturability, yield, and long‑term supply chain flexibility.
Establish and manage a global PCB supply base capable of supporting advanced technologies (e.g., HDI, high‑layer‑count, controlled impedance, high‑speed and RF designs) while balancing operational needs.
Identify PCB supply chain risks (technology, capacity, quality, geography, single‑source exposure) and develop mitigation strategies to enable innovation while minimizing impact to Teradyne operations.
Enable engineering design by ensuring PCB suppliers can support required materials, stack‑ups, fabrication processes, and test technologies, while also delivering the necessary capacity and flexibility for production ramps.
Manage technical aspects of the PCB Supplier Audit and Qualification Process, including assessment of fabrication and assembly capabilities, process controls, reliability performance, and capacity.
Identify high‑risk PCB components, technologies, and suppliers during NPI; work with commodity teams and design engineering to develop risk avoidance or mitigation plans, including alternate sourcing strategies.
Work directly with PCB suppliers to execute part qualification processes aligned to design complexity, including stack‑up validation, impedance control, DFM/DFA reviews, and reliability testing.
Partner with global Supplier Quality Engineers to manage ongoing PCB quality and reliability issues, drive root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Manage supplier tooling, test, and inspection processes (e.g., AOI, electrical test, impedance verification) to ensure quality gates, capacity, and robustness for high‑volume manufacturing.
Provide guidance to engineering teams on mainstream and emerging PCB technologies that support product performance, reliability, and cost targets, and assist in sourcing decisions.

All About You You are a senior‑level Supply Line Engineer who can build and manage a global PCB supply base that supports advanced technologies (HDI, high‑layer count, controlled impedance, high‑speed/RF). You excel at identifying supply chain risks—technology, capacity, quality, geographic, and single‑source—and developing mitigation strategies that protect operations while enabling innovation.

You ensure PCB suppliers can meet engineering requirements for materials, stack‑ups, fabrication processes, and test capabilities, while also providing the capacity and flexibility needed for production ramps. You lead the technical side of supplier audits and qualifications, evaluating capabilities, process controls, reliability, and throughput.

You recognize high‑risk PCB components, technologies, and suppliers during NPI and partner with commodity teams and design engineering to create avoidance or mitigation plans, including alternate sourcing. You work hands‑on with suppliers to execute complex part qualifications—from stack‑up validation and impedance control to DFM/DFA and reliability testing.

You collaborate globally with Supplier Quality Engineers to resolve PCB reliability and quality issues, driving root cause analysis and continuous improvement. You manage supplier tooling, testing, and inspection processes to ensure strong quality gates for high‑volume manufacturing. You also guide engineering teams on mainstream and emerging PCB technologies to support product performance, reliability, cost targets, and sourcing decisions.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred.
8+ years of experience working with PCB design, fabrication, and/or assembly for high‑reliability electronic products, 5+ years of industry experience with advanced PCB technologies such as HDI, high‑layer‑count boards, fine‑line geometries, controlled impedance, high‑speed digital, and/or RF designs.
Strong understanding of PCB materials (e.g., FR‑4 variants, high‑speed laminates), stack‑up design, signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability constraints.
Working knowledge of PCB fabrication and assembly processes, including drilling, plating, lamination, imaging, solder mask, surface finishes, and electrical test.
Experience with PCB qualification, reliability testing, and failure analysis (e.g., cross‑sections, impedance failures, delamination, CAF, solder joint issues).
Familiarity with automation, inspection, and test methodologies used in PCB manufacturing.
Strong collaboration and communication skills; ability to influence cross‑functional teams and suppliers.
IPC‑A‑600 certification or equivalent experience interpreting and applying PCB acceptability standards.
Nice to have: Fluency in Mandarin for technical discussions with suppliers
Ability to travel up to 15%, both domestic and international.

We are only considering candidates local to position location or candidates who are willing to relocate at their own expense. We are unable to provide relocation for this position.

This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
