Benjamin Saathoff

Collaborative and high-energy Equipment Technician with over 8 years of experience at Texas Instruments. I leverage my technical skills in the Semiconductor Test space to ensure the quality of TI's chips and the smooth operation of the machines that test them. What I do: Perform multiple detailed Preventative Maintenance procedures each day on a variety of Test and Quality Assurance equipment; everything from Probers to Test computer systems to Automatic Visual Inspection systems. Engage with Low Yield Response alerts to troubleshoot problems, identify root cause, and ensure maximum device yield for our customers. What I'm currently into: I'm excited about opportunities to integrate Machine Learning into what I do, especially as TI creates new ways to integrate Machine Learning and AI into Predictive Maintenance Models and root cause analysis. To grow my skills in this area, I've taken up teaching myself Python programming and data visualization to find hidden connections in the data-driven world of Semiconductor Test.
