Test Engineer
Texas Instruments
Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants
This role owns production continuity and test health for released products, driving rapid resolution of manufacturing and yield issues while building a proactive sustaining system, working closely with various AT sites & engineers across globes. The engineer leads root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and cross-functional problem solving across design, quality, and operations teams. Sustaining learnings are systematically fed back to new product development to strengthen future product, validation, and test strategies.
What You Will Do
As Sustaining Lead, you will own production stability end-to-end - resolving critical manufacturing, test, yield, and reliability issues with urgency while eliminating recurring problems through rigorous root-cause and permanent corrective action. You will develop and execute strategies to continuously improve yield and reduce test cost across the product portfolio, working directly with factory teams to implement solutions and sustain gains on the production floor. You will identify trends and risks before they escalate, continuously improve the sustaining process (prioritization, escalation, closure, and automation), and drive measurable improvements in test coverage, test time, and overall product robustness. You will partner closely with Test, Product, Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Operations teams to close complex issues and build a structured feedback loop that transfers sustaining learnings into development to improve future designs and test strategies. You will establish clear ownership and accountability within the sustaining team and develop the team's technical problem-solving capabilities.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for an engineer with hands-on ATE and production test experience - including familiarity with ETS800, ETS364 & ETS88 tester platforms (software and hardware) - a strong background in structured problem solving (8D, RCCA, or equivalent), and a track record of driving yield and cost improvements in a high-volume manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate combines deep technical judgment, strong analog fundamental skills and pcb design experience with cross-functional knowledge - able to work across design, quality, factory, and operations teams, influence without direct authority, and build systems and processes that scale. Experience with sustaining metrics, data analysis, and proactive risk identification is essential;

Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants
Texas Instruments designs and makes analog and embedded processing chips, the basic parts inside cars, factory equipment, data centers, and consumer electronics, and it sells one of the broadest chip catalogs in the industry. In 1958, its engineer Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit, the building block of modern electronics, and later won a Nobel Prize for it. Its analog chips regulate power and convert signals such as sound and heat into data, while its microcontrollers act as small built-in computers, and TI earns money selling both to device makers. It also makes the graphing calculators many students use in math class. Texas Instruments was founded in 1930 and is based in Dallas, Texas.
