Job description

Texas Instruments is looking for a Senior ESD Design Specialist to join our Advanced Technology Development team in Bangalore, India — one of the most respected semiconductor R&D organizations in the world.

You’ll be embedded within TI's elite ESD Team, working hands-on with an industry-leading analog portfolio spanning precision analog, power management, imaging, audio, high-speed converters, and interface applications. This isn't a siloed role — you’ll collaborate across Process Engineering, Packaging, Testing, Reliability, and Manufacturing, making a measurable impact at every stage.

If you're a sharp, self-directed engineer who thrives on solving complex ESD challenges and wants a career where deep technical excellence is genuinely valued — read on.

• Design, develop, and implement ESD protection structures for a diverse analog product portfolio
• Lead and conduct ESD design reviews; troubleshoot failures during internal and customer qualification cycles
• Drive the design and development of ESD test structures for advanced technology assessments
• Maintain and evolve ESD protection libraries and design guideline documentation used by TI engineers and I/O cell developers globally
• Continuously improve ESD protection effectiveness and area efficiency — raising the bar on what's possible

Required Skills

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (3+ years ESD experience) or M.S. in Electrical Engineering (5+ years ESD experience)
• Deep expertise in analog and digital circuit operation
• Strong command of high-current device physics — diodes, resistors, BJTs, SCRs, FETs
• Hands-on knowledge of CMOS and analog silicon process flows
• Experience in high-voltage ESD design (>20V)
• Proven lab experience and strong analytical/problem-solving ability
• Self-directed, organized, capable of managing multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with BiCMOS or high-voltage analog process technologies
• Exposure to ESD qualification standards (HBM, CDM, MM, IEC 61000-4-2)
• Background in ESD characterization and TLP (Transmission Line Pulsing)
• Published research or patents in ESD or semiconductor protection design
• Prior experience in a cross-functional semiconductor R&D environment

Career Growth That's Real

TI offers clearly defined paths across both technical leadership and people management tracks — your expertise will never hit a ceiling here.

Unmatched Technical Breadth
