ABOUT TERADYNETeradyne is a global leader in automated test equipment and industrial automation, enabling customers across the semiconductor, electronics, and advanced manufacturing ecosystem to accelerate innovation and deliver high‑quality products oss semiconductor test, system‑level and wafer‑level test, photonics, and adjacent semiconductor capital equipment, Teradyne operates at the intersection of deep engineering, complex supply chains, and long investment cycles. Strategic M&A plays a critical role in expanding Teradyne’s served markets and strengthening long‑term technology leadership.
