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 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 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 Put your talent to work with us as a system engineering intern!
