Systems Engineering Intern - MS​/PhD

Change the world. Love your 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  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 systems engineering intern 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 and systems solutions (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
• Analyze key end-equipment in automotive, industrial, consumer and computing spaces to identify future trends, identifying opportunities for improving performance and adding value to these systems

• Currently pursuing a graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field
• Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA or higher

• Knowledge in fundamentals analog electronics (feedback systems, filters, MOSFET/BJT, frequency domain analysis)
• Knowledge of structured and/or object oriented programming (C, C++) and signal processing tools (Matlab)
• Understanding of and experience with system design, including writing IC design specifications, developing algorithms and creating system reference models
• Understanding of and experience with schematic design, PCB layout, circuit debugging and system testing
• Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to audiences of varied background
• Ability to simplify complex problems and navigate uncertainty
• 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
