Job description

Change the world. Love your job. Texas Instruments (Richardson, TX) is looking for an energetic engineer with a passion for Metrology. This position provides the opportunity to support multiple modules and drive continual improvement. We are searching for a self-directed, problem-solving, highly motivated engineer to join our team.

The Metrology Process Engineer in this role would be expected to:

• Own and operate multiple metrology toolsets, ensuring tool readiness and cross-module availability for a broad range of fab applications.
• Develop and qualify scatterometry measurement models, including recipe creation and on-product validation of critical features and structural parameters across multiple technology nodes.
• Support cross-module metrology needs for surface contamination analysis, implant uniformity, deposition uniformity, etch process control etc.
• Evaluate and qualify new measurement platforms by benchmarking toolset capabilities against process requirements and recommending alternative solutions where current platforms reach their limits.
• Collaborate with equipment vendors and external engineering teams to drive model development, resolve toolset limitations, and adopt best practices for advanced metrology applications.
• Own metrology recipe development for new process technologies, collaborating with advanced technology teams to define measurement standards for emerging products.
• Manage metrology platform transitions and technology transfers, including qualification and decommissioning of legacy systems in alignment with fab-wide control strategies.
• Drive continuous improvement in metrology methods by applying innovative modeling techniques, conducting process studies, and supporting development projects that advance yield and process control objectives.

Minimum requirements:

• 3 years relevant experience in a semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Knowledge of Guage R&R methodologies and metrology recipe-writing.
• Hands-on experience with generating metrology models.

Preferred qualifications:

• Intellectual curiosity, self-direction and demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills.
• Resilience in sometimes ambiguous and fast paced environments.
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery.
