The ETS800 Test Engineer will be responsible for developing, qualifying, and maintaining production test solutions for mixed-signal and power management semiconductor devices on the Teradyne ETS800 ATE platform. The role spans all phases of the test engineering lifecycle — from test plan development and hardware design through software development, silicon bring-up, debug, correlation, and sustaining support.

The engineer will work within a high-performing global cross-functional team under the mentorship of senior test engineers and will interface directly with design, characterization, product engineering, and customer teams. As an early member of Anora's expanding Bangalore center, this position offers career growth and visibility unmatched in larger organizations.

ATE Test Program Development — Teradyne ETS800
