Amber Scheurer graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. After interning with Texas Instruments in 2011, she joined their DLP® Technology Process Engineering team full time upon graduation in May 2012. During her time in this role, she drove several process defect root cause investigations and developed effective solution paths for MEMS manufacturing processes. In 2015 she was accepted into the DLP Technology Engineering Rotation Program, allowing her to expand her skillset by rotating through a series of four engineering positions within the DLP business. Amber is now a Product Marketing Engineer for DLP Pico™ Products where she is responsible for their web portfolio, identifying new customers, and new product development strategy.
Amber joined SWE as a student in 2008, volunteered in their biannual outreach events, and eventually served as President of her collegiate section. Shortly after moving to Dallas, Amber began mentoring the University of Texas Dallas (UTD) collegiate SWE section as their counselor and after 3 years in that function, she took on the role of Dallas SWE secretary for 2 years.
In addition to her responsibilities in the DLP Business, Amber was asked to serve as the Texas Instruments campus recruiting manager for UCF in 2014. She defines the recruiting strategy, develops key relationships, and serves as the liaison between TI and UCF. This allows her to give back to her collegiate SWE section and she is also able to attend the annual SWE conferences as a recruiter for TI.
Amber is active in the non-profit, High-Tech High Heels, whose mission is to increase the number of girls graduating from high school and entering a college-level degree program in STEM. She joined the board of directors in 2017 and she helps to assess and allocate grant money to groups that will advance the organizations mission as chair of the grant committee.
Outside of work, Amber enjoys traveling and exploring all the excellent restaurants across DFW!
“My favorite thing about SWE is how it completely changed my understanding of what an engineer could be. I will never forget my first annual conference, WE09. Even as an engineering student, seeing over 300 companies at the career fair really expanded my horizons about where my degree could take me. This theme continues through professional membership and shapes the way we inspire the next generation of girls through outreach!”
