Texas Instruments • Dallas, TX

5d

About The Position

This role is an opportunity to help test highly integrated, multi-rail power-management devices for growing markets. The position focuses on probe and final test development for complex mixed-signal circuits and new DC-DC converter products. The engineer works with design and production teams to develop test strategies, characterize and qualify silicon, investigate yield and test issues, and deliver robust, cost-effective test solutions that support product quality and volume production.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with ATE such as Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE platforms (iFlex, LTX, or VLCT); Eagle experience is preferred and a differentiator.
• Experience developing characterization test programs and hardware.
• Experience developing production test programs and hardware.
• Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and analog test techniques.
• Data-analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower, or an equivalent tool based on STDF.
• Experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and loads.
• Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test-time reduction.
• Strong understanding of the IC product development process from concept through volume production.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with mixed-signal test techniques and development of mixed-signal tests on TI roadmap testers.
• Experience offloading test programs and hardware to TI offshore manufacturing sites.
• Programming or scripting proficiency in C++, Python, or C#.
• LabVIEW or TestStand experience.
• Experience with revision-control tools such as Subversion or Git.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively across functions.
• Strong time-management skills to enable on-time project delivery.
• Ability to build strong, influential relationships.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
• Initiative and a drive for results.

Responsibilities

• Work with the design team to understand design specifications.
• Generate test plans; create test and characterization programs; and design ATE hardware interface boards.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench data.
• Analyze silicon results and support failure-analysis tasks.
• Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and resolve yield issues, and optimize test time.
• Work with the production team to release products to volume production.
• Define and implement test strategies for new DC-DC converter products.
• Develop ATE test hardware and software.
• Perform silicon qualification and characterization, including qualification hardware development.
• Conduct device debugging, design validation, and failure analysis.
• Drive robust, cost-effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits supporting well-being at work and in life, including competitive compensation, extensive health coverage, and wellness programs.
