Job description

Change the world. Love your job. Texas Instruments is looking for an energetic engineer with a passion for process. This position provides the opportunity to drive continual improvement at all levels. Our team is primarily focused on driving improved procedures and processes. We are searching for a self-directed, highly motivated engineer to join our team.

The responsibilities of a Manufacturing Process Engineer in this role include:

• Be curious. Seek feedback. Honor commitments. Drive results.
• Support manufacturing operations in a high-interrupt and rapidly ramping tool install environment.
• Develop and implement improved methods of manufacturing, procedures, and processes that result in improved efficiencies, yields, machine operations, and quality.
• Implement project or improvement plans for areas of responsibility including but not limited to: efficiency improvements, cost reduction or quality improvement programs, new product support and other process improvements.
• Perform lot and equipment dispositions to support the continuous flow of production and to minimize cycle time in a high volume manufacturing 300mm wafer Fab running Analog Technologies.
• Identify systematic problems in either process or equipment related sources and communicate findings to the engineering staff in a continuous manner.
• Support the manufacturing ramp with execution of equipment/process startup, process experiments (SWRs).
• Participate in data analysis and problem resolution.
• Collaborate across teams/branches to solve fab priorities, which can change quickly.

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• 2 years relevant experience.

Preferred qualifications:

• Strong foundation in statistical process control, engineering change control and process release strategies.
• Proficiency with Python, Claude, or other AI models or tools is a plus.
• Experience with AMAT and EBARA CMP process tools.
• Experience with Single Wafer Clean Process Tools (LAM, TEL, DNS).
• Strong understanding of Cu and Al BEOL integrations.
• Demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for result.
