About The Position

We can't predict what the future holds, but we know Texas Instruments will have a part in shaping it. At TI, Systems 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. Systems Engineers are an integral part each phase of new product development at TI. In the early stages of product development, systems 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 systems engineering intern role, you’ll have the chance to: Develop, model, simulate, and optimize state-of-the-art integrated acousto-optic devices for ground-breaking specifications. Understand and model acousto-optic interactions in sophisticated optical-MEMS structures. Work with advanced technology development to understand and optimize MEMS manufacturing process. Create and maintain compact behavioral models for use in system simulations. Assess, define, and negotiate MEMS device specifications based on system requirements. 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 Put your talent to work with us as a systems engineering intern – change the world, love your job!
