RET Process Development Engineer - Advanced Node 28/22nm

Texas Instruments; Dallas (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Texas Instruments in Dallas seeks a Design Retargeting Engineer to translate customer design intent into manufacturable layouts and apply advanced retargeting techniques across 28nm and 22nm nodes.

You will work at the design-process intersection, optimizing layouts for yield, printability, and process window robustness, and contribute to tape-out pipelines with EDA tools. You will also mentor junior engineers and collaborate with OPC, lithography, and process teams to enable robust production.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement design retargeting strategies to bridge the gap between design intent and process capabilities.
• Collaborate with OPC, lithography, and process integration teams to ensure accurate pattern transfer and high-yield manufacturing.
• Analyze and modify layout geometries to improve printability and process window robustness.
• Work with EDA tools to automate retargeting flows and integrate them into the tape-out pipeline.
• Support customer design enablement by providing feedback on layout constraints and manufacturability guidelines.
• Perform data analysis using CD metrology, SEM review, and simulation results to refine retargeting rules.
• Contribute to the development of design rules and patterning strategies for advanced nodes (e.g., 28nm, 22nm).
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team.
