About the Job
The Aerospace & Defense Systems team, within the WW Marketing / SEM organization, is solving some of the most cutting edge technology design challenges. For over 60 years, we have created a wide range of high-reliability products for space, avionics and defense electronics designs. Engineers rely on TI’s product availability and system-level knowledge, support and detailed design resources to meet mission-critical design requirements with products that can operate in harsh environments for decades. Systems Marketing Engineers within the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) team push technological boundaries through system innovations in the demanding A&D industry. Through direct interaction with A&D customers, product development teams, and sales, you will enable current and future system advancements in end equipments like Space, RADAR, and Communications.
Responsibilities may include:
Customer Collaboration & Opportunity Management
+ Collaborate with customers and Field Application Engineers (FAEs) to identify top and scaling opportunities in focus areas.
+ Establish effective working relationships with key stakeholders (customers, FAEs, product lines), synchronizing project engagement to target growth in top markets, end-equipment, customers and projects.
+ Co-develop competitive solutions with customer engineers and FAEs, demonstrating a comfort with change and uncertainty.
+ Execute on actions driven by customer opportunities with urgency and technical proficiency, reflecting the 'proper paranoia' of anticipating best outcomes while preparing for the worst.
+ Relentlessly drive new design wins for new and existing products.
+ Create engaging training and technical content, demonstrating dedication to mission success and respect, credibility, and trust among peers.
+ Bring quick resolution to customer problems by interfacing across different functional groups such as design, product, test, packaging, marketing and sales.
+ Ability to teach and influence others.
+ Identify and promptly adapt to changes in the market and technology landscape.
Systems Engineering & Strategy Execution:
+ Apply systems-level thinking to execute actions and growth strategies targeting specific markets, customers, and end-equipment.
+ Analyze key end-equipments to identify future trends, identifying opportunities for improving performance and adding value to these systems.
+ Conduct research and collect information to comprehend the intricacies of target end-equipment and/or subsystem.
+ Assist with generating the revenue plan for the organization.
+ Understand and align with stakeholder (customers, FAEs, product lines) expectations, design requirements, and challenges.
+ Transform design requirements into system architecture, evaluating options for the best solution.
+ Break down system requirements to determine necessary design effort and manage requirement changes, reflecting a comprehensive view and creativity in problem-solving.
+ Coordinate with stakeholders to establish support strategies (design deliverables), timelines, and requirements for design solution.
+ Track progress, and lead interactions related to collaborative technical tasks with stakeholders and third parties.
+ Communicate complex technical concepts and the big picture effectively to a broad audience.Promote stakeholder alignment using clear, consistent communication.
Circuit Design, Prototype, and Testing
+ Define the scope of technical work needed for actions, identifying engineering tools and collaboration necessary to meet design schedules.
+ Analyze and compare circuit design solutions, documenting and executing steps to identify the optimal solution.
+ Execute circuit design processes, including device selection, circuit analysis, simulation, and optimization.
+ Develop prototypes, from performing schematic capture, layout, to driving PCB build and assembly.
+ Develop and execute a test and verification plan, performing in-lab testing and troubleshooting when necessary.
+ Prepare and present design solution overviews to stakeholders, showcasing self-confidence and comfort with making decisions.
+ Proactively identify and mitigate risks of technical deviations during the design cycle.
+ Manage changing design requirements throughout the design cycle.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
+ Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related
+ 10 years of relevant experience
+ Strong understanding of analog/mixed-signal IC’s and their application
+ Experience promoting/marketing ICs and driving design wins by providing system solutions
+ Familiarity with RF transceiver architectures, signal chain analysis to minimize phase noise and maximize SNR
+ Deep understanding of key RF performance metrics (NF, SFDR, IP2, IP3, HD2, HD3, etc.)
+ Exceptional customer facing skills
+ Expert with RF lab equipment (spectrum analyzer, RF/microwave signal generator)
+ System level circuit design and modeling with EDA tools, SPICE, Matlab *ITAR Restriction _: All candidates for this ITAR restricted position must be one of the following: US Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident, Asylee, Refugee or otherwise lawfully admitted under an amnesty program._
