About the role
The role sits within Texas Instruments' semiconductor test and manufacturing organization, owning production continuity and test health for released products while working with assembly/test sites and engineers globally. It covers analog ATE, production test, yield improvement, test cost reduction, and reliability for IC products. The Senior Test Engineer / Sustaining Lead will drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions, improve sustaining processes, and feed learnings back into new product development and test strategies.
What you will do
- This role owns production continuity and test health for released products, driving rapid resolution of manufacturing and yield issues while building a proactive sustaining system, working closely with various AT sites & engineers across globes. The engineer leads root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and cross-functional problem solving across design, quality, and operations teams. Sustaining learnings are systematically fed back to new product development to strengthen future product, validation, and test strategies.
- What You Will Do As Sustaining Lead, you will own production stability end-to-end - resolving critical manufacturing, test, yield, and reliability issues with urgency while eliminating recurring problems through rigorous root-cause and permanent corrective action. You will develop and execute strategies to continuously improve yield and reduce test cost across the product portfolio, working directly with factory teams to implement solutions and sustain gains on the production floor. You will identify trends and risks before they escalate, continuously improve the sustaining process (prioritization, escalation, closure, and automation), and drive measurable improvements in test coverage, test time, and overall product robustness. You will partner closely with Test, Product, Design, Quality, Manufacturing, and Operations teams to close complex issues and build a structured feedback loop that transfers sustaining learnings into development to improve future designs and test strategies. You will establish clear ownership and accountability within the sustaining team and develop the team's technical problem-solving capabilities.
