Operational Excellence & Tooling: Own the roadmap for operational tools and processes; you will drive the "Smart Lab" vision—implementing intelligent solutions for asset management, equipment utilization, and automated tracking to make the entire GDL organization more operationally efficient in bench and test environments
Key Technology Vector Leadership: Act as the primary enabler for TI’s most critical testing requirements; you will lead the deployment of specialized setups and platforms that empower teams to tackle complex challenges in EMC/EMI, space radiation, and data center testing
AI Strategy & Digital Transformation: Serve as the AI strategy driver for the validation community; you will lead the integration of AI/ML into the lab loop—from developing agentic bench platforms to implementing advanced data analytics—creating opportunities to influence AI adoption across the entire company
Responsibilities include
Building the digital and physical infrastructure that defines the future of TI validation
Leading the transition toward AI-augmented engineering and high-throughput automation
Scaling specialized testing capabilities (EMC, Space, Data Center) across our global footprint
Optimizing how we work by turning complex operational challenges into streamlined, automated processes
Minimum Requirements
5+ years of experience in semiconductor validation, test, or application support
5+ years of experience in automated software development
Proven expertise in designing and deploying fully automated bench validation platforms (integrating hardware, software, and instruments)
Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuits and advanced lab instrumentation
Exceptional system-level debugging skills and a "big picture" thinker capable of influencing cross-functional stakeholders
A passion for driving broad, scalable impact within a complex, global organization
Preferred Qualifications
Experience managing engineering teams
Advanced programming: Proficiency in Python and experience with LabVIEW and TestStand
Specialized standards: Intimate knowledge of EMC testing standards (CISPR 25, 32, IEC ESD, etc.) and space radiation testing
Data intelligence: Experience developing advanced data analytics using Spotfire, post-processing algorithms, or ML-driven tools
AI fluency: Proven ability in emerging AI technologies; you possess the technical intuition to move from standard automation to AI-augmented engineering, utilizing LLMs, prompt engineering and machine learning to solve complex validation, test and data challenges
Domain expertise: Knowledge of functional/system-level testing for Automotive and Industrial segments
