 Exhibit 10.2 
  





 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

 

 In consideration of my promotion to President, Semiconductor Test by Teradyne, Inc., a corporation of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts (herein referred to as “the Company”), effective February 8, 2016 and the payments made to me as consequence thereof, I agree that, effective February 8, 2016, I will promptly report to an officer of the
Company or to such other individual as may from time to time be designated, all inventions and new ideas which I, alone or with others, have conceived or reduced to practice since the time of entering the employment of the Company in respect to any
subject matter relating to the business in which the Company is engaging as of the date of conception or reduction to practice of each such invention or new idea. This obligation ceases with termination of my employment with the Company. 

I further agree to assign to the Company the entire interest throughout the world in all inventions and new ideas referred to in the proceeding paragraph,
whether or not reported by me, and to execute all papers and do anything necessary and reasonable to secure to the Company title therein and Letters Patent pertaining thereto including the giving of testimony in any suit if called so to do during or
after my employment but all at the expense of the Company. I also waive all claims to moral rights in any Inventions. 
 All inventions and new ideas that
would fall within the scope of this Agreement, but for the fact that they were conceived prior to my employment by the Company, may be excluded from this Agreement only if I can establish, under applicable inventorship law, a date of conception
prior to my entering the employment of the Company. 
 I further agree that I will make a written record of all inventions and new ideas falling within the
scope of this Agreement in the form of notes, sketches, drawing, or reports relating thereto, which records shall be and remain the property of and available to the Company at all times. 

I further agree that I will not, during or after the period of my employment with the Company, divulge to any unauthorized persons confidential information
concerning the Company’s business, technology, and activities that I learn during the period of my employment, or use any such information except on the Company’s behalf. 

I further agree that I will observe all rules and regulations laid down by the Government agencies relating to the safeguarding of classified information that
may be disclosed or entrusted to me in connection with any contract between the Company and the Government or any contractor with the Government. 
 I
further agree that during the period of my employment by the Company, I will not directly or indirectly enter the employment of, or render any professional services, including but not limited to as an independent contractor, consultant,
director, partner, owner or otherwise, except such as are rendered at the request of the Company, to any individual, partnership, association or




 
corporation who or which is a competitor of the Company without the prior permission in writing of the Company. Competitor includes, but is not limited to, any business or enterprise that
develops, designs, produces, markets, sells or renders any product or service or intends to do so that is competitive with any product or service developed, produced, marketed, sold or rendered by the Company, including actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development. I further agree that I will notify the Company of any outside employment in which I am engaged during the period of my employment with the Company.  

I further agree that during the period of my employment with the Company, and for a period of one year after my employment ceases as a result of my voluntary
resignation, I will not (except on the Company’s behalf) solicit (for the purpose of providing a product or service that is competitive with the Company) any customer or prospective customer of the Company that was contacted, solicited or
served by me within the five-year period immediately preceding the termination of my employment with the Company. 
 I further agree that during the period
of my employment with the Company, and for a period of one year after my employment ceases as a result of my voluntary resignation, I will not recruit, solicit, hire, or engage as an employee or an independent contractor, any employee or former
employee of the Company, excluding former employees whose employment with the Company has been terminated for a period of six months or longer. 
 Due to
the global market in which the Company operates, the geographic scope of this Agreement shall extend to anywhere the Company or its subsidiaries do business, have done business or have plans to do business. 

This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements between me and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified on behalf of the
Company in whole or in part except by a statement in writing signed by an authorized officer of the Company. 
 I further agree that if any one or more
provisions in this Agreement are deemed unenforceable, they will be reformed to the extent necessary to make them enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. 

I further agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed as a sealed instrument under and in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to conflict of laws provisions. Any action, suit or other legal proceeding that is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, federal court located within Massachusetts), and I consent to the jurisdiction of such a court.


 

  

	
	 I acknowledge that I have carefully read this Agreement and understand and agree to all the provisions in this Agreement.

 
 The parties hereto agree that the effective date of this Agreement shall be
February 8, 2016.
  
 Signed at North Reading, MA, this 8th day of February 2016.
