Job description

Change the world. Love your job.
In this role, you’ll work on our Advanced Technology Development (ATD) Technology Transfer team working as a Project Manager.

You will lead the transfer of advanced process technologies from one fab to another fab worldwide to meet customer-specific dual sourcing requirements for assurance of supply and to enable capacity in advance of customer demand.

You will partner with sending and receiving factory engineering and manufacturing teams, business groups, global sourcing and ramp (GSR) team, quality representatives and ATD technologists to reproduce and qualify process baselines that match the original fab physically and electrically in terms of parametric, yield, characterization and reliability metrics.

You will gain perspective across the multi-fab, assembly & test (ONE MAKE) organization and in various business units.

Opportunities for travel will allow you to build strong network and relationships needed for project success.

Responsibilities include:

• Cross functional team leadership to support the transfer, qualification, and manufacturing of advanced analog technologies in new factories (internal and/or external to TI) to support TI growth plans and capacity needs of our customers.
• Coordinate the collection of all technical details needed to reproduce the technology from sending fab and arrange technical training for receiving factory.
• Co‑own set up of the receiving fab total integrated flow. Conduct risk assessments. Design and develop silicon plans to mitigate risks.
• Work with sending fab, receiving fab and ATD engineering teams to identify differences between fabs that might add risk and to establish process improvement plans to mitigate risks. Lead problem solving activities during transfer.
• Coordinate and participate in group meetings, transfer team conference calls and management reviews. Communicate program status and key milestones to vested stakeholders.
• Learn and drive execution of the ATD Technology Transfer methodology.
• Coordinate with other partner organizations (planning, business teams, quality organization, technology development, characterization resources, etc.) to secure support needed to meet program schedule and success metrics.
• Partner with technology development and manufacturing teams to develop new process technologies and components needed to support technology transfers.

The person performing this role must be capable to plan effectively, drive schedules, meet critical deadlines on multiple tasks in parallel, lead technical discussions in their area of expertise, and work effectively across organizational boundaries. They must be able to clearly communicate project status and actions. Additionally, they must be able to interface with multiple organizations and work well on a diverse team to accomplish goals.
