Plasma Etch/Metro/RTP RAMP Manufacturing Engineer (SM1)

Change the world. Love your job. 

Texas Instruments is looking for an energetic engineer with a passion for process. This position provides the opportunity to drive continual improvement at all levels. Our team is primarily focused on driving improved procedures and processes. We are searching for a self-directed, highly motivated engineer to join our team.

The responsibilities of a Ramp Manufacturing Process Engineer in this role include:

• Drive manufacturing ramp and qualifications of new toolsets across 300mm Plasma, Metrology and RTP processes to meet Fab program objectives and timelines. 


• Engage with cross-disciplinary teams including quality, process integration, equipment engineering and external vendors to qualify new toolsets and ensure process stability on released processes.


• Execution of equipment/process startup strategy including process experiments (SWRs), engineering changes documentation (ECNs) and change control board approval (CCB).


• Document and fanout best known methods and systematic findings to improve ramp efficiency and reduce repeat ramp bottlenecks in a continuous manner.


• Advanced understanding and utilization of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Fault Detection (FD), SPC tools and Process Conversion Documentation.


• Develop and implement improved methods of manufacturing, procedures, and processes that result in improved efficiencies, yields, machine operations, and quality.


• Implement project or improvement plans for areas of responsibility, such as: efficiency improvements, cost reduction or quality improvement programs, new product support and other process improvements


• Perform lot and equipment dispositions to support the continuous flow of production and to minimize cycle time in a high volume manufacturing 300mm wafer Fab. 

Minimum requirements:

• 2 years of experience within the semiconductor industry as a process engineer.
