ATD QEV Product Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.
In your first year with TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI, and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job. The TMG Development program is a 12-month program for new college graduates in the TMG organization.

Experience how the latest innovative technologies are developed, built and optimized as a Product engineer. You will have the opportunity to work in a vibrant and dynamic team-oriented environment with exposure to a variety of state-of-the art applications each day.

The Advanced Technology Development (ATD) team creates and delivers innovative technology roadmaps and platforms to enable robust, cost-competitive and industry-leading TI products. This is a Research & Development group.

The QEV group (inside ATD) is responsible for creating, testing, characterizing, and stressing custom mixed signal IC’s as part of the ATD technology qualification process.
 

ATD QEV Product engineers have the following responsibilities:

• Collaborating and working closely with Process and BU stakeholders to develop characterization and test plans to support early Process Technology nodes development and ramp.  
• ATE Test Hardware and Software development for a broad range of analog and mixed signal prototypes in support to qualify advanced process technology nodes.
• Design Probe and Package ATE test hardware, using Cadence Allegro tools for custom schematics & PCB layouts. 
• Design HTOL (High Temperature Operating Life) evaluation application circuits (Burn in boards) and generate application programs for bench evaluations and reliability stress testing.
• Perform silicon validation & characterization testing during project development phase, to report parametric performance and yield opportunities for improvement.  
  This will require comprehensive IC circuit debugging, design & process validation, and failure analysis.  
• Work with Failure Analysis group (FA) to determine root causes of any reliability and qualification failures.

Texas Instruments will not sponsor job applicants for visas or work authorization for this position.

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent 
• Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA or higher

Preferred qualifications:

• Solid understanding of electrical components and their characteristics: Resistor, Capacitor, Inductor, Diode, Bipolar Transistor (BJT), 
  Field Effect Transistor (FET), and Transmission Line.

• Solid understanding of analog, digital, and mixed signal and circuits of their operation and analysis. Examples: Digital Logic, Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), OpAmp, LDO, Regulator, Current Mirror.

• Hands-on experience working with different lab equipment for taking data and / or performing device debug or failure analysis. For example, use of the curve tracers; return loss analyzers, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers.

• Experience of bench testing of op-amps, ADCs, DACs, LDOs, mixed–signal circuits and digital circuits.

• Experience with integrated circuit and device failure analysis.

• Programming skills for automation of bench characterization equipment. Along with skills using C and/or C++,  and python. 

• Knowledge of statistics and tools to analyze characterization data and determine and set production test limits and predict yield data.

• Ability to work in a team setup comprises of other functional groups.

• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery.

• Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.

• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results.

• Strong problem solving, verbal and written communications skills.

• Ability to multiplex between projects and be able to maintain project schedules.
