About the role

Senior Hardware Engineering Manager who leads DC/power instrumentation hardware teams and serves as Technical Project Leader for complex programs within Teradyne's CTD, from concept through production release and lifecycle transition.

Responsibilities

  • Own the overall success of assigned DC / power instrumentation programs, including competitiveness, time to market, development cost, cost of goods, quality, reliability and customer readiness.
  • Define and drive the product vision, roadmap and strategy, aligned with business goals, customer use cases and the product's contribution to the broader CTD portfolio.
  • Act as the primary product advocate with Product Management and field teams, translating market and customer needs into clear engineering objectives and product requirements.
  • Balance performance, quality, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, reuse, scalability and schedule when making product decisions.
  • Lead the hardware engineering team as its manager: hire, coach and develop engineers and product team members, and direct them so they can achieve product goals.
  • Establish and communicate the overall technical vision, product architecture, integration strategy and development approach.
  • Lead major technical trade studies and decisions across hardware, software, FPGA, mechanical, thermal, calibration, signal delivery, automation and manufacturing.
  • Ensure subsystem requirements are defined, allocated, traced, integrated, verified and validated at the system level.
  • Serve as the primary technical escalation point and drive timely resolution of complex, cross-disciplinary issues.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership during critical prototype, integration, verification and production-readiness phases.
  • Co-lead the core team with the Program Manager and maintain joint accountability for an executable, high-confidence plan across multiple concurrent projects.
  • Drive technical execution across all contributing functional groups, keeping the focus on the overall product rather than any single discipline.
  • Lead technical design reviews, integration reviews, readiness reviews, phase-gate assessments and recovery planning.
  • Make or drive timely decisions on priorities, scope, technical direction, dependencies and resource deployment, and direct engineering resources to where they are needed.
  • Ensure execution conforms to applicable development, quality, safety, regulatory and lifecycle processes.
  • Champion best practices in product development, from requirements definition and design reviews to verification, validation and release.
  • Identify technical, integration, supplier, resource, quality and execution risks early, and make sure they are tackled up front and actively retired.
  • Define mitigation, contingency, learning and verification plans before risks affect critical commitments, and ensure they get executed.
  • Identify opportunities to improve schedule, cost, product quality, reuse, team effectiveness or competitive differentiation.
  • Partner with the Program Manager on disciplined scope and change control, and communicate impacts to stakeholders.
  • Build alignment across Engineering, Product Management, NPI, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Applications, Service and business leadership.
  • Beyond your own team, lead through credibility, influence, collaboration and sound judgment rather than formal reporting authority.
  • Consult with functional leaders on staffing, technical capability, resource alignment and development priorities.
  • Keep sponsors and senior leadership informed of status, risks, decisions, trade-offs and support required, and communicate progress, priorities and vision to stakeholders at all levels.
  • Participate in customer, supplier and partner discussions on requirements, capabilities, roadmaps and issue resolution.
  • Oversee technical engagement with vendors and contractors to ensure quality and timely delivery of components and solutions.
