Career Accelerator Program - Product Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.:
In your first year with TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI, and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job. The TMG Development program is a 12-month program for new college graduates in the TMG organization.
We are seeking an energetic and process-driven Product Engineer to own the product engineering launch cycle for our next-generation New Product Development (NPD) portfolio. In this role, you will transition silicon from initial tape-out to high-volume manufacturing. You will be well-versed in navigating complex validation workflows and will take full ownership of the critical execution gates required to deliver robust ESD, TVS, and surge protection devices on schedule.
Experience how the latest innovative technologies are developed, built and optimized as a Product engineer. You will have the opportunity to work in a vibrant and dynamic team-oriented environment with exposure to a variety of state-of-the art applications each day.
Product engineers have the following responsibilities:
• NPD Pre-Launch Execution: Act as the primary PE anchor during the pre-silicon and post-silicon development phases, managing checkout plans, test vehicle preparation, and risk assessment checklists.
• SWR & Sample Buildup Optimization: Author and execute complex, high-volume Special Work Requests (SWRs) to build up crucial sample inventories for internal characterization, customer evaluation, and qualification reliability testing.
• Silicon Validation & Characterization: Drive silicon validation activities by compiling, filtering, and evaluating massive data sets to establish device characterization reports across varying voltage and temperature corners.
• NPD Launch Timeline Tracking: Partner tightly with Project Managers (PMs) to monitor critical manufacturing milestones (Wafer Fab, Assembly, Final Test), proactively flagging bottlenecks to maintain 100% on-time product releases.
• Yield & Capability Assessment: Perform initial yield analysis, design-of-experiments (DOE), and Gage R&R studies on early lots to establish robust production test limits and maximize mature manufacturing yields.
Minimum requirements:
Bachelors in Microelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
Cumulative 3.3 GPA or higher
Foundational comprehension of hardware validation concepts, parametric testing, and semiconductor structures (such as diodes, FETs, or basic ESD protection layouts) will be added advantage
0 -2 years of working experiences
Preferred qualifications:
• Extensive hands on experience working with different lab equipment for taking data and / or performing device debug or failure analysis. For example use of the curve tracers; return loss analyzers, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
• Experience of bench testing of op-amps, ADCs, mixed –signal circuits and digital circuits
• Experience with bench validation and characterization PCBs
• Experience with integrated circuit and device failure analysis
• Programming skills for automation of bench characterization equipment (Labview/Teststand), along with C and or C++
• Extensive knowledge of statistics and tools to analyze large amounts of characterization data and determine and set production test limits and predict yield data
• Have working knowledge of what is required to take a product from development stage to production
• Ability to work in a team setup comprising of other functional groups
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
• Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
• Strong problem solving, verbal and written communications skills
• Ability to multiplex between projects and be able to maintain project schedules
