At TI, System Engineers work to identify ideal roadmap opportunities for a business and are responsible for defining new products and platforms based on market opportunity. To do this, they leverage strong technical knowledge of our existing portfolio, deep understanding of the technologies, standards and protocols within an industry or end equipment, and an ability to engage with customers and translate their requirements into technical specifications that will solve their problems. Systems engineers also partner closely with marketing and applications engineers, as well as design teams, to ensure our roadmap is both meeting customer and market requirements and is technically optimized and manufacturable at a price and cost point that makes sense for the business.

In this system engineer role, you’ll have the chance to:

• Lead cutting edge R&D projects that have a direct impact on the businesses in TI. Help imagine, define, create and collaborate with the business groups find high value innovations that solve challenging problems.
• Development of highly differentiated power circuits for Power Management Regulators or controllers
• Competitive benchmarking and tracking latest research in the domain of innovative power management architecture and circuits
• Balancing innovation with execution - to ensure that the IPs are demonstrated in silicon in a timely manner
• Working in close collaboration with Process, Packaging, BU partners and other Kilby team members
• Supporting the technology transfer and productization of the innovative IPs developed by the team
• Industry champion/liaison of university research projects in the area of power management
• Interface and lead discussions with the customer and/or TI field sales/field applications teams to understand customer designs, problems and support as required

Minimum requirements:

• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Power Electronic Systems
• Minimum Cumulative 3.5/4.0 GPA
