Our technologies power the most advanced semiconductor and electronics testing in the world, enabling manufacturers to bring products to market faster and with greater confidence. As we deepen our AI capabilities, we are looking for exceptional engineers who combine rigorous technical foundations with the drive to take ideas all the way to production.\nOpportunity Overview\nAs Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you are Teradyne's highest individual contributor technical authority in ML. You own the end-to-end technical excellence of Teradyne's machine learning systems: from research and experimentation to production deployment and ongoing model performance.\nYou will define modeling standards, set the engineering bar for the entire ML team, and take personal ownership of the most complex and highest-impact ML problems. Your work will span time-series analysis of semiconductor parametric test data, computer vision for defect detection, adaptive test optimization, and applied LLM systems. You will be the go-to technical voice when the team faces hard problems and the mentor of junior engineers around you.\nOwn the technical direction and quality of all ML model development across Teradyne's AI initiatives, setting and enforcing engineering standards across the team.\nLead end-to-end development of production ML systems: data ingestion and feature engineering, model architecture design, training pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and deployment.\nDesign and implement novel ML approaches tailored to Teradyne's unique data domain including time-series parametric test data (STDF/TEMS), wafer map analysis, etc.\nDrive applied research and model innovation, explore and evaluate new architectures, algorithms, and training methodologies, and translate promising approaches into production systems.\nDevelop and maintain rigorous model evaluation frameworks, including validation methodologies, risk quantification, and production monitoring strategies.\nLead technical design reviews; serve as final arbiter of ML architecture and modeling decisions for the team.\nBuild and maintain production ML systems with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and performance in Teradyne's ATE and manufacturing environments.\nPartner directly with customers and application engineers to understand real-world debug workflows and translate them into ML solutions.\nMentor and develop junior ML engineers; cultivate a culture of technical rigor and continuous learning.\n\nAll About You\nWe seek individuals who share our passion and determination. Our commitment to customer success drives us to go the extra mile. If you’re ready to join us in this mission, take a closer look at the minimum criteria for the position.\n5+ years of experience in machine learning, applied AI, or related fields.\nHands-on experience fine-tuning large language models.\nExperience with reinforcement learning (e.g., policy gradients, PPO, actor-critic methods).\nExperience designing reward models or evaluation systems.\nStrong software engineering skills (Python, distributed systems familiarity).\nExperience building production ML systems (MLOps, monitoring, deployment).\nAbility to work cross-functionally with product, software, and hardware teams.\nStrong communication skills; comfortable engaging directly with customers & stakeholders.\nComputer vision skills in manufacturing inspection: defect detection, etc.\nML model deployment on edge devices is preferred, including quantization, ONNX, etc.\nOpen-source ML project contributions, publications, or technical patents is preferred.\nKnowledge of AI agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGen) or reasoning-driven workflow design (Chain-of-Thought, Chain-of-Action) is preferred.\n\nCompensation: The base salary range for this role is $141,300-$242,000. This range is a good faith estimate, and the amount of base salary will correspond with experience and skill set. This range can also fluctuate depending on demand and location.\nIncentive Plan: This job is eligible for discretionary bonus(es) based on financial performance.\nBenefits: Teradyne offers a variety of robust health and well-being benefit programs, including medical, dental, vision, Flexible Spending Accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, paid vacation & holidays, tuition assistance programs, and more.
