Legal Counsel - Commercial Engagements

Texas Instruments • Dallas, TX • 2h ago

Change the world. Love your job.

TI's Law Department is seeking a skilled, highly motivated, and proactive self-starter to join our Worldwide Commercial Engagements team as Legal Counsel. You will operate in a fast-moving, global environment supporting a cutting-edge and expanding semiconductor company, serving as a trusted advisor to leaders across TI.

You will join an experienced, collaborative Dallas-based legal team. The role offers broad, international exposure to complex commercial contracts, online commerce, intellectual property, open-source and software licensing, supply chain, marketing, crisis communications, and cybersecurity. Experience with technology licensing, tech transfer, or IP-intensive transactions is a plus.

We are looking for agile learners and true go-getters -attorneys who take initiative, anticipate issues, and independently drive matters to completion. You will manage your own portfolio, apply strong business judgment, and work across an international team to advise on emerging and evolving business models.

In this role, you will help ensure TI is asking-and solving-the right questions. You will quickly assess whether an issue advances a meaningful business objective, reframe it when needed, and deprioritize it when it doesn't. You'll begin each project with a clear definition of success, align with stakeholders upfront, and track whether your actions deliver the intended outcome. You will be expected to escalate thoughtfully and with purpose- to improve outcomes, not simply to be cautious -using escalation to drive alignment, enable decisions, or materially shift strategy while maintaining responsibility for forward progress.

You will help us move from custom, one-off lawyering to modular contract architecture by creating reusable contract structures and legal frameworks that enable speed, scale, and consistent risk posture. You will help modernize our operations through standardization, automation, and AI . We are looking for someone who gives data-driven advice , grounded in prior deal history, defined legal positions, and prevailing market norms. You'll contribute to building and maintaining the legal data, playbooks, and knowledge assets that support this approach.

Why TI?

Engineer your future. We empower our employees to truly own their career and development. Come collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world to shape the future of electronics.

We're different by design. Diverse backgrounds and perspectives are what push innovation forward and what make TI stronger. We value each and every voice, and look forward to hearing yours. Meet the people of TI (https://edbz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX/pages/4012)
