Job description

Job Description

We are at a pivotal moment in the semiconductor industry. Technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and Texas Instruments' MCU organization is right at the center of this transformation.

Our current work is focused on developing solutions for high-growth markets — including AI-driven data centers and emerging domains such as humanoid systems. These areas are actively shaping the future of computing, automation, and intelligent systems, offering a rare opportunity to work on cutting‑edge technologies with real-world, large-scale impact.

If you are passionate about solving complex technical challenges and want to contribute to innovations in these fast-growing segments, this is your moment. This role is not only technically rewarding — it is strategically significant.

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced and driven DFT engineer to execute and shape the test engineering strategy within our MCU organization. In this role, you will direct and guide the activities of a research and technical design function responsible for designing, developing, modifying, and evaluating digital electronic parts, components, and integrated circuitry for electronic equipment and hardware systems.

You will play a critical leadership role in ensuring that our silicon is not only designed for performance and power efficiency, but also for testability, reliability, and manufacturability — qualities that are essential as we scale into AI and next‑generation compute platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute DFT strategy and execution across complex SoC and MCU designs targeting AI data center and humanoid system applications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design, verification, physical design, and manufacturing teams to integrate DFT methodologies early in the design cycle
• Drive continuous improvement in test coverage, fault detection, and test time reduction across product families
• Select, develop, and evaluate personnel to ensure efficient operation of the DFT function; mentor engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's or PhD preferred)
• 3+ years of experience in digital design or DFT engineering
• Expertise in DFT methodologies: scan insertion, ATPG, BIST (Logic/Memory), JTAG, boundary scan, and test compression
• Hands‑on experience with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys TestMAX, Mentor Tessent)
• Understanding of SoC/MCU architecture and digital design flows

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in embedded systems or MCU product development
• Experience with silicon bring‑up, failure analysis, and yield improvement initiatives

Benefits

• Engineer your future. We empower our employees to truly own their career and development. Come collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world to shape the future of electronics.
• We're different by design. Diverse backgrounds and perspectives are what push innovation forward and what make TI stronger. We value each and every voice, and look forward to hearing yours. Meet the people of TI.
• Benefits that benefit you. We offer competitive pay and benefits designed to help you and your family live your best life. Your well‑being is important to us.
