LBC11 Integration demands Epi processes that operate at nanometer precision: adding exactly the right material, at exactly the right process parameters, without disturbing localized films and area. At SMFAB in Sherman, these processes don’t yet exist in production form. You will build them. As a Epi Process Development Engineer in TI’s organization in Sherman, you will own the development, integration, and qualification of Epi for the LBC11 flows directly enabling TI's technology ramp from development to high-volume manufacturing. The Epi processes you develop will run on every wafer at SMFAB.
Responsibilities include:
- Drive CVD and Epi process and device improvements through characterization, test, design of experiments, data analysis and simulation
- Good understanding of CVD Dielectric Film characteristics and interactions with downstream processes
- Experience with high stress films and corrections preferred
- Work with multiple process, integration, reliability, packaging and test engineers to achieve these goals
- Work closely with the product groups to identify and optimize the performance to meet critical final device parameters to enable game changing products in the market.
- Partner closely with vendors to bring industry changing improvement opportunities to SMFAB in the form of PPH, Improved Cycle Time, Process Stability, and/or Equipment/Process Uptime.
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.
QualificationsMinimum requirements:
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 5+ years in semiconductor wafer fabrication for advanced nodes
-
3 years experience in Epi or CVD processing on AMAT, Novellus, and/or ASM platforms; Strong consideration to candidates that have experience with both CVD and Epi
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience developing new Epi and/or CVD processes from the ground up
- Strong inline-to-end-of-line signal correlation and process characterization skills
- Ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships across internal and external partners
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new systems and processes
- The future starts here. As a TIer, you'll play a critical role in defining the next era of semiconductor technology and help create the innovations that shape the world around us.
- Surround yourself with a team of innovators who value your unique perspective and will challenge you to bring your best self to work every day. We believe that fostering a culture of collaboration fuels both personal growth and technological breakthroughs. Explore our company culture.

Texas Instruments Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Texas Instruments and has not been reviewed or approved by Texas Instruments.
-
Strong & Reliable Incentives — Profit sharing and annual bonuses are portrayed as a meaningful, formula-linked upside that can materially lift total earnings in strong years. An employee stock purchase plan with a discount further reinforces recurring, wealth-building incentives.
-
Retirement Support — A 401(k) match is described as a stable core benefit, with some references to additional legacy employer contributions and even pension-like elements for certain cohorts. This framing positions long-term savings support as a notable part of the overall rewards package.
-
Healthcare Strength — Medical coverage is depicted as broadly comprehensive, with preventive care and access to HSA/FSA features cited as value-adds. Company-seeded HSA contributions are repeatedly characterized as an important offset to the plan design for those enrolled.
