From Texas Instruments' job posting
Change the world. Love your job.
In your first year with TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI, and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job. The TMG Development program is a 12-month program for new college graduates in the TMG organization.
At Texas Instruments (TI) a Test Engineer is part of a team responsible for designing, developing, and implementing cost-effective methods of testing and troubleshooting systems and equipment. In this role, the Test Engineer prepares test and diagnostic programs, designs test fixtures and equipment, completes specifications and procedures for new products.
Responsibilities include
- Work with design team to understand design specifications
- Generate test plan, creating test and char program, designing ATE hardware interface boards
- Debug characterizing silicon on ATE, correlate results with bench data
- Analyze silicon results, supporting failure analysis tasks
- Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debugging and fixing yield issues; optimizing test time
- Work with production team to release products to volume production
- Create test strategy definition and implementation for new products
- Work silicon qualification& characterization including qual hardware development
- Comprehensive device debugging, design validation and failure analysis
- Drive for robust and cost effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality
Minimum requirements
- Bachelors in Electrical Engineering
Preferred qualifications
- ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE (iFlex, LTX, VLCT)
- Characterization test program and hardware development knowledge
- Production test program and hardware development knowledge
- Technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and Analog test techniques
- Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower or equivalent tool based on STDF
- Experienced with various lab equipment such as scopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, loads etc.
- Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction
- Understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production
- Proficiency in programming/scripting in C++, Python, C#
- Demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
- Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
- Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
Text from Texas Instruments' official job posting, formatted by HireSetu. The employer's own page is the final word on details.
Built for the freshly graduated
The only stated minimum is a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. Teradyne Eagle, iFlex, LTX, VLCT, Spotfire, STDF and the rest sit under preferred. That split tells you who this is for: someone finishing an EE degree who has run a few lab measurements and can explain them.
The program structure and the new college graduates line mean nobody expects production test experience on day one. A career switcher with years in another domain will find the ramp pitched above their head. Coursework and a final-year project are the intended starting point.
Where you would struggle: if you cannot say what a sourcemeter measures or why a reading drifts, the ATE work has nothing to attach to yet.
Fundamentals worth brushing up
Analog basics sit under everything here: op-amps, LDOs, ADCs, voltage references, and which instrument you would reach for to check each one. Know how characterizing a part on the bench differs from doing it on an ATE, because correlating the two results is a listed responsibility.
Statistics matters more than most freshers expect. Yield fallout, distributions, outliers, and how a test limit gets set in the first place. If you can write a short Python or C++ script that reads a file of measurements and plots the spread, you have practised something the listing names directly.
Understand what a test program is on a production floor: a sequence of stimuli and measurements, each with limits and timing attached. Every second of that sequence costs money per part, which is why test time reduction appears alongside yield work.
STDF files and char programs
STDF is the data file an ATE writes after testing each part: measurements, limits and pass/fail in one dataset. Spotfire or dataPower reads it, and yield fallout and outliers get analysed from that output.
A char program sweeps voltages, currents and timing across a range to map a part's behaviour. The ATE hardware interface board carries signals between tester and device.
Test engineering beside design roles
The Career Accelerator Program covers the first year at TI, pairing professional training with function-specific technical training. TMG Development runs 12 months for new college graduates in the TMG organisation.
Among the 9 other TI roles listed here, the titles are design verification, ESD, digital design, physical design, layout and application development. The ESD role characterises prototypes in analog IC design.
