About The Position

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer to support manufacturing operations in a dynamic, team-oriented environment. The role focuses on industrial engineering, process planning, capacity analysis, and operational performance across factory modules. The engineer works with engineering, manufacturing, planning, tool owners, and other fab groups to evaluate production needs, improve performance, and support operational and capital-investment decisions. The position involves analyzing factory data and performance, maintaining capacity models, assessing equipment loading and schedules, and determining production starts and mixes that can be supported now and in future planning horizons. The engineer also identifies operational gaps and improvement opportunities, develops solutions, and helps coordinate new methods, flows, and process releases. The role requires working in a clean room environment while wearing a smock.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations Research, or a related engineering discipline.
At least 3 years of relevant experience.
Ability to work in a clean room environment while wearing a smock.

Nice To Haves

Intermediate proficiency in SQL and data visualization software.
Ability to initiate activities that support fab and group goals.
Ability to work and interact with all fab disciplines and levels of the fab organization.
Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions.
Strong time-management skills to enable on-time project delivery.
Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.
Ability to take initiative and drive results.
Ability to perform basic computer programming or coding to solve engineering problems.
Experience in capacity modeling and working knowledge of simulation models.

Responsibilities

Lead line and operational performance analysis to identify opportunities to improve output and cycle time.
Maintain capacity-model data integrity by monitoring engineering change control and communicating with tool owners to ensure model readiness.
Gather and understand information needed for capacity analysis and production-impact assessments.
Perform capacity, cost, and operational what-if analyses to support capital investment and operational decisions.
Optimize equipment run schedules to maximize asset utilization and output.
Collect and validate operational performance data, including automation and system logs, to analyze throughput impacts of process requirements.
Interact across departments and groups to drive execution plans.
Use predictive modeling techniques to analyze factory execution entitlement and drive operational performance.
Analyze and maintain large data sets.
Use operational data to identify performance trends, propose leading indicators, and provide predictive information for execution decisions.
Analyze complex operational challenges involving multiple stakeholders and work toward effective solutions.
Identify operational gaps, lead problem formulation, determine root causes, and implement solutions.
Automate data extraction and manufacturing processes.
Determine the production starts and mixes supportable in the current period and future look-ahead, based on capacity, constraints, available tools, tool performance, and scheduled future process releases.
Provide modules with short- and long-term focused toolsets to work on.
Identify opportunities to improve cycle time and increase the ability of capacity models to support operational decisions.
Perform equipment-loading studies and determine methods for flow linearization and variation reduction.
Interface with engineering, manufacturing, and planning, and coordinate the release of new methods, flows, and processes.
Estimate manufacturing costs, determine time standards, and recommend tooling and process requirements for new or existing process flows.
