Career Accelerator Program - Systems Engineer - MS/PhD

In your first year with TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job.

At TI, Systems Engineers focus deeply on understanding the technical needs, and future trends of an industry or end equipment, then create new products and innovative forward-looking product roadmaps to solve them. Systems Engineers are an integral part each phase of new product development at TI. In the early stages of product development, Systems Engineers interface with key stakeholders (customer decision-makers, application engineers, marketing, management, sales, IC design engineers, technology development) to negotiate specifications, perform trade-offs, understand the competitive landscape, and ultimately develop detailed technical definitions for new products. They then collaborate with the full IC development team (design, applications, test, product engineers) to deliver products to the market which are compelling, competitive, cost-conscious, manufacturable, and importantly, successful in growing TI's business.

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

• Develop advanced analog and digital chips and system products from concept to mass production
• Complete advanced high speed IC design cycles and participate in a variety of system design activities
• Interface directly with TI business units and customers to define product roadmaps
• Assess and negotiate IC development tradeoffs with design teams and customers
• Evaluate silicon systems (hardware and software) and related documentation
• Gather user requirements, translate them to functional specifications, and implement solutions and enhancement projects
• Provide complete documentation for each development lifecycle step
• Perform troubleshooting and debugging on issues related to the system

• Minimum MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field
• Minimum Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA

• Must have understanding of and experience with system design, including writing IC design specifications, developing algorithms and creating system reference models
• Knowledge in structured and/or object oriented programming (C, C++) and signal processing tools (Matlab)
• Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to quickly ramp on new systems and processes
• Demonstrated strong interpersonal, analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
