Location: Arden Hills, MN, US
Company: Teradyne
Our Purpose
TERADYNE, where experience meets innovation and driving excellence in every connection. We are fueled by creativity and diversity of thought and in our workforce. Our employees are supported to innovate and learn something new every day.
We cultivate a culture of inclusion for all employees that respects their unique strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team – one that makes better choices, drives innovation and delivers better business results.
Opportunity Overview
Teradyne's Semiconductor Test Division is seeking a Hardware Engineer – Signal Integrity to join the Digital Instrument hardware team in Arden Hills, Minnesota. Our digital instruments test the world's most advanced semiconductor devices, with signals spanning an unusually wide spectrum: from kHz-rate control buses to tens-of-GHz serial links.
In this role, you will own signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) in our digital instruments, from pre-layout modeling and simulation through lab correlation and production release, and design selected functional circuit blocks. You will work closely with Hardware, Firmware, Software, Mechanical, and Test engineers to turn instrument requirements into design guidelines and constraints, catch SI/PI risks before they become board re-spins, and solve problems on new and existing designs.
Conduct signal integrity and power integrity (SI/PI) simulation and evaluation
- Own pre- and post-layout SI simulation for interfaces including I2C/SPI/JTAG, DDR, Ethernet, PCIe Gen 1–7 (up to 128 GT/s), and proprietary links, covering NRZ and PAM4 channel loss budgets, crosstalk, jitter/eye, impedance, and connector, via, and BGA breakout optimization
- Execute power integrity evaluation, including power distribution network (PDN) impedance, IR drop, and decoupling selection
- Model and correlate the full tester-to-DUT signal path (instrument, interconnect, DIB/loadboard, socket) against VNA, TDR, and BERT/sampling-scope measurements
All About You
We seek individuals who share our passion and dedication. 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.

- Relevant experience should include SI/PI simulation and model creation, PCB stack-up and layout review, schematic capture and review, and electronic lab correlation measurement
Knowledge / Technical Requirements
- Strong working knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity for low-speed through multi-gigabit interfaces
- Strong proficiency with SI/PI and circuit simulation tools and scripting (e.g. Cadence Sigrity/Clarity 3D, Ansys SIwave/HFSS, SPICE, Python)
- Hands-on experience with high-speed channel analysis, including S-parameters, IBIS models, and jitter/eye analysis
- Experience with schematic and layout CAD packages (e.g. Cadence Allegro/OrCAD, Altium, Siemens Xpedition)
- Working knowledge of board-level circuit design (e.g. clocking, termination, power sequencing) and schematic review
Skills and Abilities

- Excellent verbal, written, and presentation communication skills, including with geographically dispersed teams
- Proven ability to work on your own and collaborate effectively in team environments
Preferred Qualifications
- 2D/3D model extraction and Gerber/ODB++ artwork review
- PAM4 channel analysis and S-parameter de-embedding
- Board-level digital and mixed-signal circuit design, including FPGA-based designs, clocking, and ADC/DAC
- Familiarity with relevant industry standards (e.g. IPC, JEDEC)
- ATE, DIB/loadboard, or probe-card SI experience
We are only considering candidates local to position location and are unable to provide relocation for this position.

Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical design engineer in Minnesota?
The standard path begins with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn an Engineer in Training credential. After gaining qualifying work experience, candidates apply through the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design to sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam and obtain a licensed Professional Engineer registration in Minnesota.
How much do electrical design engineers make in Minnesota?
Electrical design engineers in Minnesota earn a median of about $109,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,750 for the lowest 10% to over $167,030 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical design engineers in Minnesota?
Employers hiring electrical design engineers in Minnesota right now include Applied Engineering, Emerson, and Teradyne, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Minnesota's concentration of medical device manufacturers, defense contractors, and industrial automation firms means demand for electrical design engineers remains steady across multiple sectors throughout the year.
Which Minnesota cities have the most electrical design engineer jobs?
Burnsville, Champlin, and Plymouth have the most electrical design engineer openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the majority of demand, anchored by corporate headquarters and manufacturing campuses of major industrial, medical device, and defense employers, while Rochester's presence of large healthcare and technology operations accounts for a meaningful share of the remaining openings.
Are there remote electrical design engineer jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical roles because electrical design work frequently requires on-site collaboration, lab access, and hardware validation. About 100% of electrical design engineer openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of November 2026. The portions of the role most likely to accommodate remote work include schematic review, specification writing, and design documentation rather than prototype build or commissioning work.
How can I get hired as a electrical design engineer in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a co-op or internship converted to a full-time associate or junior engineer role, a path that large Minnesota employers in medical devices and industrial automation routinely use to build their pipelines. Candidates can also move laterally from electrical technician or controls technician positions into design roles as they build schematic and CAD experience. Earning your Engineer in Training credential early and developing a portfolio of AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN drawings gives Minnesota hiring managers a concrete reason to consider candidates without significant professional history.
Where can I find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location within Minnesota, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
