Ability to thrive in a high-intensity, fast-paced environment.
Willingness to travel frequently to support global customers.

Nice To Haves

Deep understanding of control loop stability and compensation.
Experience with automation/scripting (Python, MATLAB, etc.) for data collection and testing.
Direct experience with DDR (DDR4/5/6) or the Data Center/Memory market.
Proven track record of managing complex technical projects within tight design windows.

Responsibilities

Answering customer questions and supporting design-in activities for released products, including providing expert technical support via forums and email to resolve complex DDR power challenges.
Performing schematic and layout reviews of customer applications to ensure optimal power integrity and stability.
Debugging customer issues by recreating scenarios on TI evaluation boards or directly on customer boards.
Providing on-site support at customer locations as required to ensure successful implementation.
Navigating critical design windows and managing technical requirements for Intel AVL (Approved Vendor List) qualification.
Designing EVMs and internal evaluation boards to support correlation and evaluation activities for new DDR PMIC products.
Creating user guides, test procedures, and ensuring the proper release of EVM boards for customer consumption.
Participating in datasheet reviews to ensure technical completeness and accuracy for the end-user.
Performing bench characterization for DDR PMIC devices, utilizing automation, hardware design, and advanced test techniques.
Participating in new silicon testing from an application perspective to ensure product robustness (e.g., destructive testing).
Collaborating with Systems Engineers to provide support for early design-in activities for upcoming products.
Developing automation workflows to collect and analyze data to drive customer adoption and track market trends.
Creating custom reference designs targeting specific Data Center applications to serve as implementation blueprints for customers.
Writing application notes that explain diverse use cases, implementation strategies, and the flexibility of our DDR power solutions.
