Epitaxy Process Development Engineer (SM1)

Texas Instruments•Sherman, TX

About The Position

Texas Instruments is hiring an Epitaxy Process Development Engineer in Sherman to develop, integrate, and qualify Epi processes for LBC11 flows. The processes must operate at nanometer precision and are not yet established in production at SMFAB. The role will enable TI’s technology ramp from development to high-volume manufacturing, and the developed Epi processes will run on every wafer at SMFAB. The engineer will drive process and device improvements through characterization, testing, design of experiments, data analysis, and simulation. The role involves collaboration with process, integration, reliability, packaging, and test engineers; working with product groups to optimize performance against critical final device parameters; and partnering with vendors on improvements to productivity, cycle time, process stability, and equipment or process uptime. The successful candidate will plan effectively, manage schedules and multiple concurrent tasks, meet deadlines, lead technical discussions in their area of expertise, communicate project status and actions clearly, and work effectively across organizational boundaries on diverse teams.

Requirements

Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
At least 5 years of experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication for advanced nodes.
At least 3 years of experience in Epi processing on AMAT and/or ASM platforms.
At least 2 years of experience leading cross-functional teams.
Ability to plan effectively, drive schedules, meet critical deadlines on multiple tasks in parallel, lead technical discussions, communicate clearly, and work effectively across organizational boundaries and diverse teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience developing new Epi process modules from the ground up.
Strong inline-to-end-of-line signal correlation and process characterization skills.
Ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships across internal and external partners.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly on new systems and processes.

Responsibilities

Drive Epi process and device improvements through characterization, testing, design of experiments, data analysis, and simulation.
Collaborate with process, integration, reliability, packaging, and test engineers to achieve process and device improvement goals.
Work with product groups to identify and optimize performance against critical final device parameters.
Partner with vendors to bring improvement opportunities to SMFAB in productivity, cycle time, process stability, and equipment or process uptime.
Plan work, manage schedules, meet critical deadlines across multiple tasks, lead technical discussions, communicate project status and actions, and work across organizational boundaries.
