Yield Enhancement Engineer (RFAB) - Richardson, TX, United States
Originally posted 2 July 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Texas Instruments RFAB is seeking an experienced Yield Enhancement Engineer to own end-to-end yield improvement across its analog and mixed-signal product portfolio.
What you'll do
- Lead data-driven defect-limited yield analysis across all product families, from defect discovery through root-cause investigation to corrective action. - Serve as a key technical responder for defect excursions, triaging data and mobilizing cross-functional teams to resolution. - Apply wafer map analytics to fingerprint yield-limiting defects by toolset, chamber, and reticle field. - Define and continuously improve inline inspection sampling strategies, balancing detection sensitivity, throughput, and cost. - Build predictive yield models by correlating inline defect density with electrical test outcomes and liaise with process modules to implement virtual metrology. - Partner with Quality Assurance to close the loop between customer-observed failures and in-fab defect detection.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Materials Science Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field. - 3 years of relevant experience in Yield Enhancement within the semiconductor industry. - Strong silicon semiconductor process knowledge with hands-on yield engineering experience in a high-volume fab.
