About The Position

Change the world. Love your job. We’re at the forefront of an exciting era of semiconductor innovation at Texas Instruments’ LFAB in Lehi, Utah, home to our state-of-the-art 300mm manufacturing facility now ramping our most advanced 28nm analog and embedded process technology in the heart of the Silicon Slopes. As part of our Advanced Technology Development (ATD) organization, you won’t just support production, you’ll create the technology that makes it possible. From developing the Resolution Enhancement Techniques and OPC models that enable 28nm lithographic patterning, to engineering the precision wet process chemistries that define device performance at atomic scale, ATD engineers are solving the hardest problems in analog semiconductor development. At full production, our fabs will manufacture tens of millions of analog and embedded processing chips every day which are built on the process technologies you help create and qualify. We’re committed to responsible, sustainable manufacturing and making a meaningful impact on the local community through job creation and substantial investments in K–12 STEM education. In this role, you’ll work at the intersection of fundamental research and high-volume manufacturing, turning process innovations into production-ready technologies that power electronics everywhere. Texas Instruments is seeking a CMP/Wet/Plating Process Development Sr. Manager . In this role, you will oversee the activities related to the technical support and process development engineering functions of a manufacturing area.
