Change the world. Love your job.

Texas Instruments is seeking an Engineer - Product, Test & Validation to join our Analog Power Products organization in Dallas. Depending on your background and the needs of the team, you will be placed into one of three functions: product engineering, test engineering, or validation engineering.

All three functions are critical to delivering high-quality analog power ICs to market. In whichever function you join, you will work closely with IC design, applications, manufacturing, and quality teams across the full product development lifecycle.

Responsibilities include: Product Engineering

Serve as primary point of contact for all manufacturing and operational aspects of assigned analog power IC product lines

Analyze production data to identify yield and quality trends, and drive corrective actions with wafer fabrication, assembly, and test sites

Lead product qualification and reliability testing to support new product introductions and technology transfers

Resolve customer quality issues and field returns through structured failure analysis and root cause investigation

Identify and execute cost reduction and yield improvement opportunities

Maintain and improve product documentation including test limits, qualification plans, and product change notifications

Test Engineering

Develop and debug automated test programs for analog power ICs on industry-standard ATE platforms

Design, build, and qualify load boards and test hardware to support device test requirements

Optimize test time and cost while maintaining quality and coverage requirements

Collaborate with design and validation engineers to translate device specifications into test algorithms

Support transfer of test programs and hardware to manufacturing test sites

Analyze test data to identify escapes, outliers, and opportunities for quality improvement

Validation Engineering

Develop and execute validation plans for analog power ICs across operating conditions including temperature, voltage, and load variations

Design and build bench test setups including hardware fixtures and software automation

Characterize device performance and identify deviations from specification

Identify, document, and drive resolution of silicon issues through structured debugging and root cause analysis

Collaborate with IC design engineers to validate functional correctness and resolve performance gaps

Develop scripts and tools to automate data collection, measurement, and analysis

Support product release by executing reliability and qualification testing per industry standards

Qualifications

Minimum requirements: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

1+ years of experience in product engineering, test engineering, validation engineering, hardware validation, or a related technical role

Preferred qualifications: All functions Basic understanding of schematics, layouts, and digital components

Knowledge of analog circuitry (examples include: op-amps, DC/DC converters, LDOs, data converters)

Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally

Strong verbal and written communication skills

Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions

Ability to take initiative and drive for results

Product Engineering Experience with product qualification, reliability testing, and failure analysis

Proficiency in data analysis using statistical tools such as JMP, Python, or Excel to identify yield and quality trends

Familiarity with JEDEC qualification standards, product change notification (PCN) processes, and semiconductor manufacturing operations

Knowledge of wafer fabrication processes, assembly, and automated test equipment

Test Engineering Experience developing automated test programs for analog or mixed-signal ICs on ATE platforms such as Teradyne or Advantest

Knowledge of load board and test fixture design and qualification

Familiarity with statistical process control methods and test data analysis for identifying escapes and coverage gaps

Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, or ATE-specific languages such as FLEX or IG-XL

Validation Engineering Hands-on experience with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, source-measure units, signal generators, and thermal chambers

Experience with PCB design, hardware bring-up, and bench characterization across voltage, temperature, and load conditions

Familiarity with analog power topologies such as buck, boost, LDO, or battery management circuits

Programming skills for test automation (Python, C/C++, MATLAB, or LabVIEW)
