**Change the world. Love your job.** A Process Development Engineer is responsible for the development, characterization and optimization of MEMS resonator devices to meet the requirements for volume production as part of the analog technology development team. The ideal candidate will be a technical leader in the area of resonators and oscillators driving the characterization and optimization of the device and process to insure robustness, reliability, and manufacturability meeting all electrical device performance targets. **Responsibilities include:** As a Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) Engineer, you'll architect new TI products and make our customers' visions a reality. You'll define, design, model, implement, and document analog, digital, and RF integrated circuits (ICs). Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: + Partnering with design, process engineering and process integration teams to create test patterns for patterning process development/monitoring, photomask mask manufacturing support, and OPC model calibration and validation. + Layout work will span across all TI technology nodes, with current emphasis on 28nm and 20nm. + While emphasis is on layout, there will be opportunities for other lithography/OPC-related work depending on the experience and interests of this hire. + Partnering with design, process engineering and process integration teams to develop mutually agreeable design specifications for manufacturing processes for advanced analog nodes. + Developing/improving mask/lithography/etch processes for next node analog nodes through photolithographic simulation and on mask/wafer verification. + Data collection, simulation, calibration, and validation of optical proximity correction (OPC) models and recipes. + Partnering with internal/external fabs to transfer processes for advanced analog nodes. + Troubleshooting photolithographic patterning/alignment related issues for all fabs within TI. The person performing this role must be capable to plan effectively, drive schedules, meet critical deadlines on multiple tasks in parallel, lead technical discussions in their area of expertise, and work effectively across organizational boundaries. They must be able to clearly communicate project status and actions. Additionally, they must be able to interface with multiple organizations and work well on a diverse team to accomplish goals. **Why TI?** + Engineer your future.
