About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
At least 2 years of relevant experience.
Experience with Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog automated test equipment, such as iFlex, LTX, VLCT, or V93k; Eagle experience is preferred and a differentiator.
Experience developing characterization test programs and hardware, and production test programs and hardware.
Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower, or an equivalent tool based on STDF.
Experience with laboratory 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 integrated circuit product development process, from concept through volume production.

Responsibilities

Identify critical device areas requiring testing and balance test coverage against testing cost.
Spend time in the laboratory designing test hardware with software tools such as Cadence, building test programs on an automated test equipment simulator, and troubleshooting test programs or devices.
Drive testing of brushless DC motor drive products for automotive and industrial markets using technologies such as gallium nitride.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with mixed-signal test techniques and developing mixed-signal tests on Texas Instruments roadmap testers.
Experience offloading test programs and hardware to Texas Instruments offshore manufacturing sites.
Proficiency in programming or scripting in C++, Python, or C#.
Experience with LabVIEW or TestStand.
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 with people in different 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 and rapidly changing environment.
Ability to take initiative and drive for results.

Change the world. Love your job.

Test is a crucial time in an IC development process; if you find a bug or an issue, it is a good time to fix it, but every additional second of testing we do, is additional cost when you scale a device into production. So, test engineers must identify the critical points of the device where testing is most necessary and the points where we may want to take some risk. It is a precise balance, that has the potential to save our businesses millions of dollars!

Test engineers spend a good amount of time in the lab and when they're not there, they are designing test hardware using software tools like cadence and building test programs on an ATE simulator, or troubleshooting – the programs or the device.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that drives testing of Brushless DC Motor Drive products, going into markets such as Automotive & Industrial that utilize new technologies like GaN. The ideal candidate would have a background that includes probe and/or final test development of mixed signal circuits.

About the Company

Texas Instruments

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.
