Role details
Change the world. Love your job. Texas Instruments is looking for an energetic engineer with a passion for process. This position provides the opportunity to drive continual improvement at all levels. Our team is primarily focused on driving improved procedures and processes. We are searching for a self-directed, highly motivated engineer to join our team. The responsibilities of a Manufacturing Process Engineer 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 improved CMP and Wet Process methods of manufacturing, 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.
