From the TIer who unveiled the first working integrated circuit in 1958 to the more than 30,000 TIers around the world today who design, manufacture and sell analog and embedded processing chips, we are problem-solvers collaborating to change the world through technology. Put your talent to work with us – change the world, love your job!
About the Job
This system engineering intern role is within the Kilby Labs, the central R&D organization of Texas Instruments (TI). The lab is chartered to develop novel and innovative technologies and strategies for new business opportunities, drive next generation, differentiated technologies for existing businesses and recruit top technical talent for TI.
About the role:
In this system engineering intern role, you’ll have the chance to research on new current sensing approaches for electrical vehicle applications. You will be creating the necessary system simulations to demonstrate solution feasibility, creating reference designs (sensing HW and signal processing/data analytics to demonstrate proof of concept, and implementing the concepts in a prototype to demonstrate the solution’s feasibility and performance. We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated, hard-working, results-oriented individual to contribute in an extremely talented team environment.
Responsibilities
+ System Knowledge: develop and apply system expertise in a given application area and design solutions using existing TI silicon devices (DSPs, MCUs, MPUs, analog components, etc.) as well as specify and develop new devices
+ Signal Processing: develop algorithims to calibrate, intelligently operate and analyze sensor data, and provide desired excitation signals/results for a given application
+ Hardware Design: define data and control data paths, AFE hardware requirements for sensor and actuation interfaces to digital signal processing units (DSPs, MCUs, MPUs, etc) and work with board desingers to develop protype systems
+ System SImulations: develop complete system simulations to validate the viability of a given solution, analyze system performance requirements and perform system tradeoff analysis
+ Prototyping: develop a working prototype together with team members using TI product portfolio: DSP/MCU/MPU device AFE sensor to demonstrate solutions
+ Product Development: work with team members to provide necessary collateral (simulations, software, schematics, test infrastructure, user guides, and performance results) to ensure a smooth transition from prototyping to product development
+ Intellectual Property: Generate relevant patents to protect TI position in the application space
+ Emerging Technologies: Monitor competitive landscape for performance benchmarks relative to competition and find new applications/opportunities using existing TI products or define future products
Put your talent to work with us as a system engineering intern – change the world, love your job!
Qualifications
Job Requirements
+ Pursuing Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (mixed signal experience, circuits, algorithm and signal processing/data analytics background)
+ Demonstrated circuit and signal processing design experience for mixed-signal sensing solutions
+ Proficient with simulation tools (e.g. Cadence, Matlab/Simulink) to develop system simulations that include sensor models and circuit components to analyze potential mixed-signal solutions
+ Experience in resolving differences between simulation and real time prototype results to demonstrate value in proposed solution
+ Works well with others and can brainstorm potential solutions together
Desired Skills and Experiences
+ Circuit analysis to understand sensing frontend, noise sources, distortions, etc.
+ Experience in debugging HW/SW and delivering a prototype that meets requirements
+ Experience with current sensing using magnetic sensors
+ On-time delivery of solutions with high quality
