Product, Test & Validation Engineer

Engineer - Product Test & Validation

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 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

• Bachelors 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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)
