System Engineer - APS

Change the world. Love your job.
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.

The Advanced Power Solutions product line delivers industry leading power system solutions including PMICs, Camera Flash LED drivers etc. As a Systems Engineer, you will directly contribute to the development of cutting-edge power management solutions for TI’s customers. Creative, innovative, detail-oriented engineers with strong team and customer interaction skills will find this to be an interesting and rewarding opportunity.

In this System Engineer role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Influence new product definition and development for custom power solutions
• Identify good, strategic & high-quality projects that meet our project investment objectives
• Conduct competitive benchmarking, market trend analysis and tracking latest research in the domain of innovative power management architecture and circuits
• Interface and lead discussions with the customer and/or TI sales/field applications teams to understand customer needs, designs, problems and support as required
• Collaborate with other teams in TI to identify future IP, process and package needs
