Career Accelerator Program - Systems Engineer - MS/PhD

Change the world. Love your job.

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 trends of an industry or end equipment. Systems Engineers in Industrial High-Performance radar is dynamic role where you’ll use your systems knowledge along with your software and hardware skill set and create new out of box demos and demand create collateral. 

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, understand customer KPIs and ultimately develop winning production demonstrations. They also collaborate with the 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 role you will be solving customer problems making mmWave ICs easy to use, implement and productize. 

Radar BU is performance innovators in integrated RFCMOS radar technology offering industry leading broadest 60GHz and 77GHz portfolio. We have a competent team with strong commitment and a great team spirit. We are looking for a passionate systems engineering professional in systems and applications support.

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

• Act as a technical bridge between the customer and factory to help solve complex technical problems or develop competitive, high-performance working out of box demos. 
• Develop signal processing algorithms for a variety of challenging use cases and perform field validation of the algorithms using TI radars
• Perform Radar and host processors bench-level measurement and directly support industrial high-performance radar customers and enable faster customer ramps. 
• Create product collateral such as datasheet, errata, users guide, technical reference manual, etc.
• Develop and drive innovation to support existing and future devices and customers.
• Work in close collaboration with marketing, applications, design, and production test engineering teams to make sure that the products have the expected functionality and datasheet performance satisfactory to our customers’ needs.
• Evaluate silicon systems (hardware and software) and related documentation
• Gather user requirements, translate them to functional specifications, and implement solutions and enhancement projects
• Perform troubleshooting and debugging on issues related to the system

As a Systems Engineer, you will also get exposure to other roles such as: Applications Engineering, Product Marketing & Digital Marketing through formal learning, projects and on-the-job development experiences that will help you broaden your knowledge and accelerate your growth and success at TI.
