Our passion lies in making electronics more accessible and impactful through advanced semiconductor technology.

The Role of a Systems Engineer at TI:

Systems engineers at TI are at the forefront of innovation. Their primary focus is on gaining a deep understanding of technical needs and emerging trends within specific industries or end equipment. This insight then drives the creation of new products and forward-looking product roadmaps designed to solve complex challenges.

Systems engineers are integral to every phase of new product development. In the early stages, they engage with critical stakeholders—including customer decision-makers, application engineers, marketing, management, sales, IC design engineers, and technology development teams. Their responsibilities include:

• Negotiating specifications and performing crucial trade-off analyses.
• Understanding the competitive landscape.
• Ultimately, developing detailed technical definitions for new products.

Following definition, they collaborate extensively with the full IC development team (design, applications, test, product engineers) to ensure products brought to market are:

• Compelling and competitive.
• Cost-conscious and manufacturable.
• Most importantly, successful in growing TI’s business.

Your Opportunity as a Systems Engineering Intern:

As a Systems Engineering Intern, you will gain hands-on experience and contribute significantly to cutting-edge projects. Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop, model, simulate, and optimize innovative MEMS transducers across multiple domains such as electric, acoustic, magnetic, etc.
• Help to drive innovative concepts towards successful commercialization through close collaboration with product lines.
• Work alongside process experts to understand and optimize MEMS manufacturing processes.
• Create and maintain compact behavioral models essential for use in system simulations.
• Assess, define, and negotiate MEMS device specifications based directly on defined system requirements.
• Perform optimization processes based on the established MEMS specifications.
• Gather user requirements, translate them into clear functional specifications, and then implement effective solutions and enhancement projects.
