Change the world. Love your job.
This role is in the HVDC datacenter product line where we are working on designing the chips needed for the next generation of AI datacenter power supplies. This is a high visibility and high growth product area. The product line develops both the primary side 400V GaN power stages as well as the secondary low-voltage synchronous rectifiers for 800V to low-voltage LLC converters.
As an applications engineer on the team you will be responsible for interfacing with our customers and sales teams to teach them how our parts works and how to implement them in their systems. You will also be responsible for helping customers solve challenges involving our parts in their systems by debugging, troubleshooting, and working together with the customer to solve the problem.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Provide technical support to data center OEMs and power supply manufacturers designing with TI GaN power stage and SR solutions
- Design and Release evaluation modules for TI GaN power stage and SR solutions
- Troubleshoot customer design challenges related to component selection, GaN FET layout, and thermal management
- Create application notes, design guides, and evaluation board documentation specific to data center power conversion
- Conduct technical training sessions for customers on GaN device characteristics, switching behavior, and reliability
- Work with sales teams to support strategic data center customers (hyperscalers, ODMs, system integrators)
- Perform on-site technical support at customer facilities for prototyping, production validation, and debug
- Evaluate new GaN device generations and power stage features for performance optimization
- Support design validation testing including efficiency measurements, thermal analysis, and reliability assessment
Minimum requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, ECE, or related field
- 2 + years of relevant experience in customer-facing role supporting Analog systems
Preferred qualifications:
- Excellent technical communication and customer-facing skills
- Strong understanding of DC-DC converter topologies (buck, boost, multi-phase)
- Proficiency with power electronics simulation tools (PSPICE, PLECS, SIMPLIS, or similar)
- Proficiency with power electronics lab basics (oscilloscope, power supply, E-load)
- Strong technical background, with the ability to produce high quality technical documentation
- Experience with wide-bandgap semiconductor devices (GaN or SiC) or power stage integration
- GaN device physics, performance advantages, and gate drive requirements
- High-frequency switching (200kHz-1MHz+) PCB design and layout
- Thermal management and heatsink design for compact power stages
- EMI/RFI filtering and compliance in data center environments
- Power supply testing methodologies and instrumentation
- Demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
- Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
- Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
- Engineer your future. We empower our employees to truly own their career and development. Come collaborate with some of the smartest people in the world to shape the future of electronics.
- We're different by design. Diverse backgrounds and perspectives are what push innovation forward and what make TI stronger. We value each and every voice, and look forward to hearing yours. Meet the people of TI

Texas Instruments Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Texas Instruments and has not been reviewed or approved by Texas Instruments.
-
Strong & Reliable Incentives — Profit sharing and annual bonuses are portrayed as a meaningful, formula-linked upside that can materially lift total earnings in strong years. An employee stock purchase plan with a discount further reinforces recurring, wealth-building incentives.
-
Retirement Support — A 401(k) match is described as a stable core benefit, with some references to additional legacy employer contributions and even pension-like elements for certain cohorts. This framing positions long-term savings support as a notable part of the overall rewards package.
-
Healthcare Strength — Medical coverage is depicted as broadly comprehensive, with preventive care and access to HSA/FSA features cited as value-adds. Company-seeded HSA contributions are repeatedly characterized as an important offset to the plan design for those enrolled.
