AI Enablement Forward Deployed Engineer (Teradyne, North Reading, MA)

Our Purpose

Opportunity Overview

As an AI Platform Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with engineering teams across Teradyne to apply an AI platform to their real work. You will turn a team’s workflow into a focused, tested integration, show whether it improves outcomes, and leave the team able to run and extend it without you.

• Learn a partner team’s workflow, constraints, data and access dependencies, current process, success measures, and owner.

• Build and test a focused integration through agreed platform interfaces, with appropriate data and access practices.

• Compare results with a baseline using measures such as usage, quality, task success, effort, latency, cost, or failures.

• Make the integration ready to operate, with tests for main and failure paths, useful telemetry and logs, a troubleshooting runbook, and documentation others can extend.

• Support the integration through its first release, then hand it off with baseline results, an agreed owner, and an escalation path.

Bring recurring integration needs to platform owners as evidence-backed proposals for reusable capabilities.
