Texas Instruments

Analog ESD Product Specialist

Location: Greater Dallas Area, Texas

Group: TMG - HPA

Degree Requirements: Master's degree in EE, Physics

As an ESD Product Specialist, you will have the opportunity to work with TI's (www.ti.com) industry-leading analog products for precision analog, power management, imaging, audio, high-speed converter and interface applications. You will be exposed to a variety of technologies from deep-submicron and analog CMOS to RF heterojunction and high-voltage SOI BiCMOS.

This position provides an excellent view of the entire commercial semiconductor flow from technology development, to product development support and circuit design, to product qualification - yielding a platform for strong interaction with technology development, product and reliability groups.

The primary purpose of the ESD Product Specialist position is to improve design quality and eliminate unwanted design passes caused by ESD-induced failures, while continually improving ESD protection effectiveness and area efficiency. Specific responsibilities include:

-  Design, develop and implement ESD protection structures for analog products using TI's analog processes and foundry technologies. 

-  Perform ESD reviews on TI analog products and I/O cells.

-  Perform ESD troubleshooting on TI analog products that fail internal, or customer, qualification requirements.

-  Assist with the design and development of test structures for ESD assessment of TI’s analog process technologies.

-  Maintain ESD protection structure libraries and ESD design guideline documents to be used by TI High Performance Analog design engineers and I/O cell developers.

The ideal candidate will have 1-5 years of experience. In this role, you will be expected to have a strong understanding of the following: 1) Analog and digital circuit operation; 2) diode, resistor, bipolar and FET high current physics; 3) typical CMOS and analog silicon process flows and the underlying process physics. Additionally, you should have strong hands-on lab experience and excellent problem solving skills.

The ESD Product Specialist position requires a high level of attention to detail and self-organization. It is extremely important to be self-directed, pro-active and innovative. The ability to manage multiple tasks within a single job and manage multiple jobs to meet required deadlines is a must. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required.

Please submit your resume at TI career site: https://hrprod.ext.ti.com/psc/psprodSSS/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?Action=A&SiteId=2 Don't let this opportunity pass you by!
