Save Job

Role Overview Texas Instruments is investing deeply in building the world’s most advanced, adaptive, and autonomous semiconductor factories. As a Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Architect, you will play a foundational role in redefining how TI’s global factory network runs—integrating MES with real-time data pipelines, scheduling engines, FDC/APC systems, digital twins, and AI-driven decision support.

This role is ideal for a seasoned MES leader who understands both deep semiconductor workflows and modern cloud-native architectures. You will define the next-generation MES architecture that enables TI’s operations to scale, adapt, and automate with speed.

Key Responsibilities

MES Architecture & Strategy

Define the end-to-end MES system architecture across wafer fabs, assembly/test, and ancillary operations. Develop the strategic roadmap for modernizing TI’s MES stack, including integration with AMAT MES 300, Siemens OpsCenter MES/MOM, or equivalent systems. Establish architectural principles that support autonomy, modularity, high availability, and global scalability.

Integration & Interoperability

Architect a unified API and service layer for seamless integration between MES, E3/APC gateways, AMHS/OHT, equipment automation, facility systems, scheduling/dispatching engines, quality/test systems, and business systems (ERP, PLM). Design patterns for horizontal and vertical integration—from shop‑floor equipment to enterprise applications.

Data Foundations

Define how MES interacts with TI’s common data foundation (unified data warehouse, data lake, streaming architectures). Partner with data engineering teams to ensure MES data is accessible, semantically consistent, and optimized for analytics, digital twins, and AI/ML.

Model-Based & Autonomous Operations

Enable “Factory That Thinks” capabilities by integrating MES with digital twins, predictive scheduling, and agentic workflows. Co‑design Run‑to‑Run (R2R), Virtual Metrology, and FDC/APC data flows to support higher automation maturity. Support E3 model coverage expansion and standardization across tools.

Standards, Governance, and Reliability

Define and enforce MES architectural standards, naming conventions, ontologies, and metadata schemas. Drive cybersecurity, access control, selective disclosure, and audit/compliance requirements within MES workflows. Establish guidelines for deployment, versioning, disaster recovery, and business continuity.

Collaboration & Leadership

Work closely with domain leaders across Smart Manufacturing (Scheduling & Simulation, Equipment Automation, Process Control, Data & AI, Decision Support & Agentic Automation). Partner with manufacturing operations, engineering, IT, cybersecurity, quality, and product teams to ensure seamless end‑to‑end workflows. Mentor cross‑functional teams and guide vendors/partners in architecting scalable solutions.
