Architect | Facilities Design & Engineering Team

Texas Instruments•Dallas, TX

About The Position

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced Architect to join its Facilities Design & Engineering team and support growth and new manufacturing footprints. In an Owner’s Representative role, the Architect partners with external architecture and engineering firms to develop, review, and verify architectural solutions for new wafer fabs, assembly-test facilities, cleanrooms, and other large-scale greenfield and brownfield projects worldwide. The work focuses on building-level design, cleanroom environments, occupancy planning, and site-to-building layout, complementing the broader engineering effort. The role leads architectural design from concept through construction documents, including cleanroom planning, occupancy and space utilization, site-plan integration, interior fit-outs, and coordination of MEP systems. It ensures designs meet relevant building and fire-protection codes, cleanroom standards, and TI sustainability goals. The Architect serves as a primary liaison for TI operations and maintenance teams, coordinates external consultants, reviews construction submittals, supports construction through RFIs and inspections, and establishes standards and guidance for TI projects globally. The position also supports architectural budgets, schedules, scopes of work, and cost-saving efforts; participates in multidisciplinary design reviews; represents TI in technology forums; and contributes to TI’s Technical Ladder Organization while mentoring junior architects or engineers. International travel may be required as project needs dictate. Texas Instruments will not sponsor applicants for visas or work authorization for this position.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Architectural Engineering, or a closely related field.
At least 5 years of experience designing cleanroom-type facilities or high-tech industrial buildings, preferably in the semiconductor industry.
Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary design teams and coordinate with civil/structural engineers, MEP engineers, and construction contractors.

Nice To Haves

Strong self-motivation, independence, and a high standard of professional integrity.
Proven expertise in cleanroom classification, airflow management, and contamination control.
Experience with building occupancy modeling, space-planning software such as Revit, AutoCAD, or Navisworks, and BIM coordination.
Excellent facilitation and communication skills for working with business partners, external suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
Leadership, organizational, presentation, and problem-solving abilities.
Willingness to travel internationally as project needs dictate.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, and Word) and BIM tools, and ability to produce construction drawings, details, and interior layout plans.
Knowledge of fire-protection, life-safety, and accessibility (ADA) codes; familiarity with sustainability standards such as LEED.

Responsibilities

Lead concept, schematic, design-development, and construction-document phases for architectural aspects of semiconductor facilities.
Plan cleanroom layouts, classifications, pressure cascades, and gowning areas.
Conduct building occupancy analysis, space-utilization studies, and functional zoning.
Integrate site plans with driving lanes, parking, utility corridors, and pedestrian pathways.
Plan interior fit-outs, finishes, furniture, and ergonomic considerations for control rooms, labs, and offices.
Coordinate MEP systems within architectural models.
Ensure compliance with local building codes, fire-protection regulations, cleanroom standards, and TI sustainability goals.
Serve as the primary liaison between TI operations and maintenance teams and external architecture firms; gather user requirements and translate them into design intent.
Review and approve architectural submittals, shop drawings, mock-ups, and material samples.
Respond to RFIs and conduct on-site inspections to verify construction aligns with approved design documents.
Manage external architectural consultants, including scopes of work, budgets, schedules, and performance.
Develop and maintain architectural templates, design guides, and best-practice libraries.
Advise global TI sites on cleanroom design, building circulation, ADA compliance, and workplace ergonomics.
Promote architectural solutions that improve reliability, reduce construction costs, and enhance energy efficiency.
Manage architectural scope support budgets and expenditure reviews, and identify cost-saving opportunities.
Prepare and manage architectural scope statements of work, project schedules, and deliverables.
Participate in cross-functional design reviews to align architectural, structural, and systems engineering disciplines.
Represent TI in internal and external technology forums and share architectural innovations and lessons learned.
Contribute to TI’s Technical Ladder Organization and mentor junior architects or engineers.
