Data Scientist – Semiconductor Manufacturing (Richardson, Texas)

Change the world. Love your job.
Texas Instruments is seeking experienced Data Scientist to join our team. Responsibilities include:

• Enable everyday experimentation & insights extraction on petabytes of semiconductor manufacturing data (time series, images, audio, etc.)
• Develop, refine, deploy, and support statistical and machine learning models utilizing state of the art approaches
• Designs, develops, and programs methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze unstructured, diverse big data sources to generate actionable insights and solutions for semiconductor manufacturing operations. Interacts across the organization to identify questions and issues for data analysis and experiments
• Develops and codes software programs, algorithms and automated processes to cleanse, integrate and evaluate large datasets from multiple disparate sources
• Identifies meaningful insights from large data and metadata sources; interprets and communicates insights and findings from analysis and experiments to product, service, and business managers
• Create and utilize moderately complex algorithms and approaches, clean and synthesize training/test data, create/run simulations, and perform analysis of alternatives to best meet stakeholder requirements

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, statistics, engineering, a relevant technical field, or equivalent
