Applications Engineer

Change the world. Love your job. 
Texas Instruments (TI) is out front and ready for the next big challenge. Our innovations are at the core of nearly every electronics product in use today. And it doesn't stop there. We're developing breakthrough technology to power the world's future innovations as well. TI is committed to building a better future — from the responsible manufacturing of our semiconductors, to caring for our employees, to giving back inside our communities. Put your talent to work with us.
Our business has very high growth in TI and is in a segment where the market is fast growing. We're searching for applications engineer who have the passion and excitement to grow, innovative, take an active role in product definition, execute the characterization until ramp, and provide post ramp application support to customers.
This role is responsible for application support for RF clock synthesizers, buffers and BAW oscillators. Key responsibility is to resolve customer queries and support design-in activities for released products which includes:

• Support customers to design with TI's RF clock synthesizers, buffers and Oscillators for their applications by providing technical support, trainings as required, explaining and interpreting device datasheets, reviewing their design and help them get started with TI solution (EVM, chipset and Tools).
• Schematic and Layout Review of customer application.
• Trouble-shooting customer hardware, firmware and system related issues. Debugging of customer problems by re-creating issues in our evaluation boards and/or customer boards.
• On-site support for customer board as required.
• Design hardware board (Evaluation board, reference designs related to clocking products) and internal evaluation boards to support correlation and evaluation activities of new products.
• Create user guides, test procedures and proper release of EVM boards for customer consumption
• Participate in datasheet review with team to ensure completeness of datasheet being developed by the Systems Engineer.
• Perform Bench Characterization for RF clocking devices, including bench automation, hardware design and develop test techniques.
• Participate in new silicon testing from an application perspective to ensure robustness of the product.
• Work with systems engineer to provide support to early design in activities for new products.
• Create custom reference designs targeting relevant applications to be used as customer implementation ideas.
• Write application notes that explain different use cases, implementation and/or flexibility of our products.
• Lead and Support whole product launch activities. Work closely with marketing, program management, engineering, systems and validation teams for execution and launch of new products/existing product enhancements. 
• Work with systems and marketing to enable proof of concept demonstrations. 
• Understanding customer development timelines and enabling timely support from TI.

Minimum requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, ECE, or related field
• 2-6 years of relevant experience
• Experience in hardware board design; schematic capture with any PCB design software
• Solid hardware debugging skills
• Strong technical background, with the ability to produce high quality technical documentation
• System level board design expertise
• Expertise in technical documentation including EVM User's Guide, application notes, design notes and white papers.
• Good understanding on customer development timelines
• Schematic and layout review of customer application

Preferred qualifications:

• Knowledge on Clock buffers, Clock synthesizers, Analog and Digital PLLs, Oscillators and RF  products
• Knowledge on Python scripts, C programming, GUI tool development provides additional benefit.
• Familiarity with signal integrity analysis, power integrity analysis, and EMI/EMC considerations in PCB design
• Familiar with the use of all necessary lab equipment: oscilloscope, power supplies, gain/phase analyzers, multi-meters, solder station, etc.
• Experience with hardware/software integration, board bring-up & debug
• 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
• Having experience with Clocking related products will be a plus
