Texas Instruments is looking for an energetic engineer with focus on GaN Technology development in the Yield Engineering/ Defect Metrology space. This position provides the opportunity to drive continual improvement at all levels and advanced technology development opportunities. We are searching for a self-directed, highly motivated engineer to join our team.
The responsibilities in this role include:
- Be curious. Seek feedback. Honor commitments. Drive results.
- Support manufacturing operations in a high-interrupt and rapidly ramping tool install environment.
- Develop and implement inspection strategy and identify/ resolve defects of interest for GaN Technology development, procedures, and processes that result in improved efficiencies, yields, machine operations, and quality, and a relentless commitment to chase and visualize the data.
- Develop new processes from the ground up for advanced node development with high-volume manufacturing in mind.
- Implement project or improvement plans for areas of responsibility including but not limited to: efficiency improvements, cost reduction or quality improvement programs, new product support and other process improvements.
- Perform lot and equipment dispositions to support the continuous flow of production and to minimize cycle time in a high volume manufacturing 300mm wafer Fab running Analog Technologies.
- Provide training to junior colleagues and process technicians. Maintain and improve training documentation and procedures.
- Identify systematic problems in either process or equipment related sources and communicating findings to the engineering staff in a continuous manner.
- Support the manufacturing ramp with execution of equipment/process startup, process experiments (SWRs).
- Participate in data analysis and problem resolution.
- Collaborate across teams/ branches to solve fab priorities, which can change quickly.
Minimum requirements:
