The Role
Perform electrical failure analysis on analog and mixed-signal ICs to find root cause, use isolation tools (OBIRCH, EMMI), bench-test and characterize devices, probe internal nets, produce and defend final reports, and recommend corrective actions to design and process teams.
Summary Generated by Built In

Change the world. Love your job.
As a Product Engineer in the Analog Circuit Analysis Lab (ACA) in ATD, you'll support new technology development, product ramp, and technology transfers by analyzing and determining the root cause of electrical failures and recommending corrective actions to fix the issues you found. You will interact with a varied disciplines such as analog circuit analysis and design, test and characterization, device physics and semiconductor technology.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
•    Test setups to electrically verify failures.
•    Using global isolation tools such as OBIRCH and EMMI.
•    Understand the failure analysis flow – how to get to root cause most efficiently.
•    Electrical characterization of semiconductor devices – MOS and bipolar
•    Effectively communicating your results via a final report.  You need to be able to defend your recommendations to designers, process experts, and management.
•    Be able to probe internal nets on an integrated circuit.
•    Understand and apply various pieces of equipment used in testing and characterizing semiconductors.
You'll be involved with many aspects of new technology development at TI and have a chance to make a big impact by finding root cause of failures and recommending corrective actions.  The skill set you develop will be broad: interacting with design, test, and semiconductor process experts regularly and learning how to “follow the data” and get from A -> B most efficiently to rapidly find root cause.
