Analog Circuit Design Engineer - AI/ML methodology

Job Description

About the Opportunity

Are you a data scientist who thinks in algorithms, mathematical proofs, and insights? Texas Instruments is looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join a first-of-its-kind team where advanced analytics, mathematical rigor, and machine learning meet semiconductor innovation. This is a rare opportunity to be part of a small, high-impact group that is actively shaping how data-driven decisions are made at one of the world's leading semiconductor companies.

What You Will Work On

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will develop and deploy machine learning models and analytical solutions that accelerate semiconductor development and help bring new TI products to life. You will define, design, implement, and document data science solutions across the semiconductor development flow, including design automation, process technology optimization, device modeling, design verification, manufacturing yield enhancement, test data analytics, and reliability prediction.

Beyond traditional data science, you will apply cutting-edge AI/ML techniques combined with strong mathematical foundations to solve complex challenges across the semiconductor development lifecycle—from circuit design and layout optimization to process control and parametric testing. You will leverage optimization theory, linear algebra, probability theory, and statistical inference to create robust, physics-informed models that enhance design efficiency, reduce development cycles, improve yield, and ensure product quality. You will own and drive the adoption of data science tools and methodologies across design, process development, test, and manufacturing teams, and you will have the creative freedom to develop novel ideas that can be patented and published. You will also gain deep exposure to Semiconductor Physics, IC Design, Process Technology, and Manufacturing Operations through formal learning, projects, and on-the-job experiences that will broaden your knowledge and accelerate your growth at TI.

Bring your data science expertise, mathematical prowess, and passion for semiconductor technology to this role and make an impact across the company!
