Data Scientist (Manufacturing/Facilities)
Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) protocols.
About the role
Smart Manufacturing and Automation (SMA) at Texas Instruments is seeking a Data Scientist to build production-grade anomaly detection, forecasting systems, and Agentic AI solutions for facilities and manufacturing operations. The role focuses on extracting signal from complex sensor, equipment, and semiconductor process data across a global operational footprint.
What you'll do
- Develop and deploy anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and forecasting models against equipment sensor data, facility operations data, and manufacturing process signals.
- Design and deploy Agentic AI solutions leveraging emerging frameworks such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) protocols to create composable data analysis workflows.
- Design and implement end-to-end ML pipelines with disciplined testing, clean architecture, and rigorous version control practices.
- Define and drive technical strategy for time series analytics and enterprise AI deployment across global manufacturing and facilities operations.
- Mentor data scientists and engineers through technical guidance, model reviews, and knowledge sharing.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
- 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist working with time series and time studies data within the semiconductor, manufacturing, or facilities domain.
- Demonstrated experience deploying enterprise-scale Agentic AI solutions across a large organization.
- Deep proficiency in Python and SQL for data processing, feature engineering, and ML model development.
- Hands-on experience with time series methods including anomaly detection, forecasting, and signal processing (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM, Isolation Forest, deep learning, or equivalent).
- Experience with MLOps practices including model versioning, monitoring, and CI/CD for ML pipelines.
Nice to have
- Ph.D. in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
- Proven track record of leading efforts to deploy and scale enterprise-wide Agentic AI solutions in a manufacturing or industrial setting.
- Familiarity with semiconductor fab operations, facilities systems, equipment maintenance processes, or ESH data.
- Experience with CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA), or semiconductor facilities equipment data.
- Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks, MCP, A2A, or LLM integration in production systems.
- Strong foundation in statistics and experimental design for validating model performance in operational environments.
- Experience training, mentoring, or leading others.
