Analog ESD Lead/Manager – Advanced Technology Development

What if your ESD expertise shaped the protection architecture of every analog chip TI ships — from precision sensors to automotive power ICs?

At Texas Instruments, ESD isn't an afterthought — it's a core design discipline that determines whether a chip survives the real world. We're looking for an exceptional Analog ESD Lead/Manager to bring technical authority, team leadership, and continuous innovation to one of the most specialized domains in semiconductor design.

Your protection structures. Your design guidelines. Your team. Global silicon impact.

🔭 About the Role

You'll join TI's ESD Team within Advanced Technology Development — a specialized group of experienced engineers providing technical leadership and state‑of‑the‑art design infrastructure across all TI business units.

Working across TI's industry‑leading analog portfolio — precision analog, power management, imaging, audio, high‑speed converters, and interface applications — you'll gain exposure to diverse technologies from deep‑submicron analog CMOS to high‑voltage BiCMOS, while collaborating cross‑functionally with process engineering, packaging, testing, reliability, and manufacturing teams.

This is not a support role. This is a technical leadership position where your decisions directly influence silicon robustness, customer qualification outcomes, and the reliability of TI's global product portfolio.

💡 Your ESD innovations will protect chips deployed in billions of devices worldwide.

🛠️ Key Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and train a local team of Analog ESD Product Specialists to ensure the highest level of product support qualityEstablish and enforce consistent ESD development, design, verification, validation, and troubleshooting methodologies across the teamServe as the primary technical point of contact for all ESD‑related issues, queries, and escalations from local business unitsMaintain continuous alignment with all stakeholders (design, product, process, reliability) in support of product design goalsDesign, develop, and implement ESD protection structures for analog products spanning CMOS and BiCMOS technologiesConduct ESD design reviews and troubleshoot failures in internal and customer qualification programsSupport design and development of ESD test structures for technology assessments and new node characterizationMaintain and evolve ESD protection libraries and design‑guideline documentation for TI engineers and I/O cell developersDrive continuous improvement in ESD protection effectiveness, area efficiency, and design methodologyCollaborate directly with internal and external customers on ESD‑related product and qualification challenges
