Come join our Connectivity Automotive Applications team and help drive the development and adoption of our wireless microcontrollers for both Car Access, Wireless Battery Management Systems (WBMS) and Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). As a RF Hardware Applications Engineer, you will be an integral part of our team leading the revolution of connectivity in automotive use cases, and specifically be involved in our team focused on Bluetooth Low Energy, Ultra-wideband (UWB) and our TI WBMS Protocol. We’re searching for an experienced hardware applications engineer who has the passion and excitement to grow in this position, innovate, and take an active role in supporting automotive customers as they design, ramp and manufacture their products with TI connectivity products inside. This position requires someone who enjoys working in an international environment and brings a positive “can do” attitude to their objectives. In this position you’ll work with closely with TI customers to determine their design challenges and partner with them on creating solutions, design optimization and improving their products. This can involve travelling to the customer and working together on-site to solve any issues and deliver presentations both in-house and onsite. You will spend hands-on time in a world-class RF lab tackling technical challenges and delivering innovative development solutions that support our products and drive revenue. Become a part of the team redefining the way we connect with our vehicles! This role is responsible for application support for low power connectivity solutions. Key responsibilities include: • Answer customer questions and supporting design-in activities for released products. This includes: • Forum and email questions from customers • Schematic and Layout Review of customer application • Debug of customer problems by re-creating issues in our evaluation boards and/or customer boards • On-site support on customer boards as required • Plan, design, develop and characterize RF development kits (LaunchPads), EVMs and RF reference designs • Test and optimize RF performance on customer HW and reference designs in our high-end RF lab, including schematic and layout reviews of customer application • Electromagnetic (EM) simulations and analyses of designs (balun, filtering, transmission lines, impedance matching) • Develop and optimize RF PHYs • Be a technical expert on RF/HW and provide technical support to the company's sales staff and customers • Develop technical documentation including application notes, user guides, design notes and white papers. • Internal and customer training, through training events like FAE summits and TI Tech Days or written materials, like application notes, journal papers, or IEEE papers. • Interface with various cross-functional teams (e.g. Designers, System Engineering, Software Engineering, Business) • Establish key relationships with our customers and field team Texas Instruments will not sponsor job applicants for visas or work authorization for this position.
