Process Integration/Device Engineer (R&D)

Role Overview

As a Process Development and Integration Engineer within the Advanced Technology Development (ATD) Technology Transfer team, you will play a vital role in scaling TI's innovation.

ATD is the semiconductor process technology development team within TI, responsible for creating and delivering innovative technology roadmaps and platforms that enable industry-leading analog and advanced technology products. The Technology Transfer team's mission is to ensure the successful transfer of TI’s broad spectrum of technologies to global manufacturing sites. This work meets customer-specific dual-sourcing requirements for assurance of supply and enables capacity expansion in advance of customer demand.

In this unique position, you will gain a broad understanding of TI’s technologies and interact with an expansive global network of TIers. The role involves partnering with ATD technologists, fab process engineering teams, and test and quality experts to drive critical performance validation of devices in new fabs and lead process improvements. This includes supporting the characterization of components across a variety of technologies. Success in this role requires fundamental knowledge of device physics and basic semiconductor process flows, along with a strong interest in leveraging AI automation to optimize technical tasks.

With TI’s world-class analog technologies, you will have the opportunity to master critical analog device characteristics and gain perspective across multi-fab, multi-technology roadmaps and applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Management & Ownership: Take full ownership of component characterization efforts for transfer-intrinsic qualification. You will collaborate with transfer project managers, ATD technology owners, and "mother fab" teams to define clear characterization plans. You must be capable of effective planning, driving schedules, and meeting critical deadlines across multiple parallel projects.
• Technical Execution: Leverage knowledge of semiconductor device electrical performance to collaborate with the ATD Device Characterization Lab on test program development, and Technology Experts for data analysis. Your goal will be to validate new fab performance against technology and transfer metrics. You will also utilize process technology knowledge to co-drive process improvements to meet transfer goals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Lead technical discussions and work effectively across organizational boundaries. As a key team player, you will clearly communicate characterization project needs and drive actionable results. You must be able to interface with diverse organizations and teams to accomplish complex goals.

Minimum Requirements:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or related engineering degree.
• 3 years industry experience in Process Integration/Device engineering.
• Strong proficiency in data analysis, data mining, and analytical software.
• Foundational knowledge of semiconductor solid-state physics (devices) and semiconductor technology/processes.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Spotfire, MBASE, etc. (or the ability to quickly learn new tools)
• Ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced manufacturing and technology environment and ramp up on new systems and processes
• Demonstrated ability to multi-task and lead multiple high-visibility projects simultaneously
• Proven ability to establish strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A self-starter mindset with a strong drive for results
