Career Accelerator Program - Analog Design Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.
In your first year with TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job.
As an Analog Design Engineer you will create integrated circuit designs that help bring new TI products to life and make our customers' visions a reality. You'll define, design, model, implement and document analog, digital and/or RF integrated circuits (ICs). And, you'll have the opportunity to work in exciting areas like audio, imaging, high-speed, interface, clocking, medical, high volume linear, automotive, storage, power supply, battery management, linear power and many more.
As an Analog Design Engineer, you will help define and then design, simulate, and implement analog integrated circuits in silicon. You'll be working on state-of-the-art wafer processes and learning from and collaborating with industry experts. Understanding the various aspects of product development will help you become a better designer. You will spend time performing typical ""front-end"" design activities such as designing and drawing the schematics, simulating for functionality and parametric performance, and assisting in the IC layout and then running post-layout extracted simulations. You'll also gain exposure to other ""back-end"" activities such as bench characterization, final test, and failure analysis. This is a great way to apply knowledge from your circuit design coursework and see how designs progress in the real world.

As an Analog IC Design Engineer, some of your responsibilities include:

• Partner with business teams and systems engineering to define and align design specifications for TRX products
• Perform high-level analysis of chip architecture and circuit tradeoffs to achieve specification targets, strong performance, and competitive cost
• Design and develop key analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks for TRX applications, with attention to performance, robustness, and integration
• Participate in design reviews and create the required design, verification, and product documentation
• Work closely with layout engineers to guide IC layout execution and ensure high-performance implementation
• Characterize prototype silicon, develop test specifications, and coordinate with test and product engineering to support product bring-up and release
• Develop and maintain behavioral models to support system-level analysis and design validation
• Collaborate across design, layout, systems, verification, validation, and product teams to drive technical execution from concept through release
• As part of your job, you will also get exposure to other roles such as: Design Verification & Digital Design through formal learning, projects and on-the-job development experiences that will help you broaden your knowledge and accelerate your growth and success at TI.
