Texas Instruments

We can’t predict what the future holds, but we know Texas Instruments will have a part in shaping it. 

At TI, device engineers focus deeply on understanding the technical needs, and future trends of an industry or end equipment, then create new products and innovative forward-looking product roadmaps to solve them. Device Engineers are an integral part each phase of new product development at TI. In the early stages of product development, device engineers interface with key stakeholders (customer decision-makers, application engineers, marketing, management, sales, IC design engineers, technology development) to negotiate specifications, perform trade-offs, understand the competitive landscape, and ultimately develop detailed technical definitions for new products. They then collaborate with the full IC development team (design, applications, test, product engineers) to deliver products to the market which are compelling, competitive, cost-conscious, manufacturable, and importantly, successful in growing TI’s business.

In this GaN device engineering intern role, you’ll have the chance to: 

• Develop advanced analog and power products
• Participate in advanced GaN power device and IC design 
• Interface directly with TI business units to define product roadmaps 
• Evaluate silicon and systems solutions (hardware and software) and related documentation 
• Gather user requirements, translate them to functional specifications, and implement solutions and enhancement projects 
• Provide complete documentation for each development lifecycle step 
• Perform troubleshooting and debugging on issues related to the system 
• Analyze key end-equipment in automotive, industrial, consumer and computing spaces to identify future trends, identifying opportunities for improving performance and adding value to these systems
