Non-Volatile Memory Device/PI Engineer

Job Description:  

Being responsible for non-volatile memory (NVM) device development on analog and digital process flows, you will join a small development team with talented and driven contributors to make strategic decisions for TI’s NVM devices on future technologies, and later deliver these non-volatile, production-worthy, reliable memory technologies on schedule and within budget.  You will work with development wafer fabrication facilities to manage technology selection, device definition, creation, demonstration, and delivery and work with multiple design groups to capture requirements and to evaluate tradeoffs providing a unique opportunity to define new NVM memory solutions for TI customers.  Highly visible position interacting with multiple business groups, development groups, and fabrication facilities. You will be involved in innovative pathfinding projects.

Opening is within Advanced Technology Development of the Technology and Manufacturing Group.  Responsibilities include selection of NVM technologies for TI’s analog and embedded technologies, bitcell design, process integration, SWR/DOE (experiments) definition and generation, test structure definition, characterization, data analysis, design rule generation, process control document generation, device characterization, and device simulation.  

Minimum Requirements:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering degree
• 2+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Experience with NVM technologies: Floating gate NVM, e.g. OTP, EEPROM, FLASH, etc. and Antifuse NVM
• Knowledge of memory device physics, including non-volatile memory devices
• Knowledge of semiconductor device physics and circuit design
• Solid understanding of CMOS and memory process flows and device integration, NVM operation and reliability
• Working knowledge of yield and data analysis

Additional Preferred Qualifications:  

• Circuit design engineering experience
• Knowledge of Spectre simulation and Cadence design/layout tools
• Knowledge and user of data analysis tools including JMP, Spotfire, Dataware, etc. as well as parsing code languages such as PERL and Python
• Good communication and documentation skills
• Ability to organize tasks and manage schedules while working simultaneously with multiple organizations and multiple management chains. Hands-on person willing to take ownership
• Ability to drive for success and thrive in a fast-paced development environment with multiple shifting priorities
