15d

About The Position

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced technical leader to manage its Process Water Engineering team within Facilities Central Engineering. The manager will lead and develop engineers who support deionized/ultrapure water (DIW/UPW), industrial wastewater (IWW), and reclaim and reuse systems across TI’s 200mm and 300mm semiconductor manufacturing sites. These systems operate continuously, and the team is responsible for maintaining their stability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. As a discipline manager within Central Engineering, the role advances the organization’s goal of building and operating efficient, sustainable facilities. It drives operational excellence, cost leadership, technology innovation, and workforce development across the team and sites. The manager sets engineering direction, leads reliability and improvement efforts, oversees project priorities and execution, develops technical talent, and partners with internal teams and external organizations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related science field.
At least 8 years of relevant engineering experience.
At least 3 years leading engineers or technical teams.
