About The Position

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join its Facilities Central Engineering Team at the Maine manufacturing site (MFAB) in South Portland, Maine. The role focuses on continuous improvement and optimization of critical mechanical utility systems, including exhaust, cleanroom air, hot water, process cooling water, and vacuum systems. The engineer applies technical expertise to improve process efficiency, system reliability, and facility manufacturing operations. These systems operate continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Facilities team partners with manufacturing to understand the impact of mechanical utilities on processes and to optimize utility consumption and performance. The position provides technical and project leadership. It involves engineering analysis, design, operations support, troubleshooting, documentation, reliability improvements, and mentoring. The engineer also leads capital and expense projects from concept through startup and handoff, coordinating internal teams and external partners while managing scope, schedules, resources, risks, and operational impacts. Texas Instruments will not sponsor job applicants for visas or work authorization for this position.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field.
At least 5 years of relevant engineering experience.

Nice To Haves

Capital or expense project leadership for semiconductor mechanical utility systems.
Strong background in semiconductor facility mechanical systems, including exhaust systems (acid, caustic, and VOC abatement), cleanroom air handling and HVAC, thermal systems (boilers, hot water, chillers, and process cooling water), and process and house vacuum systems.
Advanced troubleshooting, root cause analysis, FMEA, and reliability engineering experience.
Experience with performance metrics, dashboards, and data analysis for system optimization.
Experience partnering across facilities, manufacturing, EHS, process engineering, and maintenance.
Understanding of basic control systems principles, including sensors, controllers, and actuators, to design, analyze, and optimize automated behavior of mechanical processes.

Responsibilities

Make engineering decisions that balance safety, reliability, cost, capacity, and operational efficiency.
Lead analysis, design, and continuous improvement of mechanical utility systems, including exhaust, air, thermal, and vacuum systems.
