Join Texas Instruments as a Memory IP Validation Engineer to characterize advanced memory circuits and collaborate across global teams in a cutting-edge semiconductor environment.
Your Role
Here’s what you will be doing:
- Characterize memory circuits on 300mm wafers using automated probe stations and parametric test equipment across advanced technology nodes
- Perform AC/DC electrical measurements to validate timing, power, functionality, and reliability on new designs
- Conduct digital logic testing through Scan/ATPG patterns across temperature, voltage, and frequency
- Test analog circuits (sense amplifiers, charge pumps, voltage references) across voltage, temperature, and process variations
- Develop Python, C/C++, or LabVIEW scripts to automate test equipment, data collection, and analysis
- Operate lab equipment including oscilloscopes, curve tracers, parametric analyzers, SMUs, and precision instruments
- Analyze characterization data using statistical tools (JMP, Spotfire, Python) to identify design sensitivities and performance trends
- Correlate silicon results with circuit simulations to provide actionable design feedback
- Establish performance benchmarks and test limits for new IP designs
- Generate technical reports and present findings to development teams
- Work with business units to qualify new memory IP for next-generation SoC integration
- Partner with circuit designers and process development teams to root cause performance issues and optimize designs
- Collaborate with failure analysis teams to investigate and resolve technical challenges
- Support IP qualification for reliability requirements (retention, endurance, cycling)
- Provide technical documentation to enable customer design integration
- Help transition qualified IP from development to production readiness
