Description

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

This Systems Engineering Intern role is within Kilby Labs, the central R&D organization of Texas Instruments (TI). The lab is chartered to develop novel and innovative technologies and strategies for new business opportunities, drive next generation, differentiated technologies for existing businesses and recruit top technical talent for TI.

In this Systems Engineering intern role, you will have the chance to research advance time of flight algorithms and neural network models for ultrasound sensing applications. You will be challenged to develop solution that is capable of measuring delta time with very high accuracy and high resolution in resource constrained devices. You will also have the opportunity to explore neural network models to solve sensing problems. You will be developing new system concepts and approaches, demonstrating the concepts through system level simulations and hardware prototyping and engaging with the product group to drive new differentiated product development. We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated, hard-working, results-oriented individual to contribute in an extremely talented team environment.

Responsibilities may include:

• System Knowledge: Develop and apply system expertise in a given application area and design solutions using existing TI silicon devices (DSPs, MCUs, MPUs, analog components, etc.) as well as specify and develop new devices

• Signal Processing: Develop algorithms to calibrate, intelligently operate and analyze sensor data, and provide desired excitation signals/results for a given application.

• Hardware Design: Define data and control data paths, AFE hardware requirements for sensor and actuation interfaces to digital signal processing units (DSPs, MCUs, MPUs, etc) and work with board designers to develop prototype systems

• System Simulations: Develop complete system simulations to validate the viability of a given solution, analyze system performance requirements and perform system tradeoff analysis

• Prototyping: Develop a working prototype together with team members using TI product portfolio: DSP/MCU/MPU device AFE sensor to demonstrate solutions

• Product Development: Work with team members to provide necessary collateral (simulations, software, schematics, test infrastructure, user guides, and performance results) to ensure a smooth transition from prototyping to product development

• Intellectual Property: Generate relevant patents to protect TI position in the application space

• Emerging Technologies: Monitor competitive landscape for performance benchmarks relative to competition and find new applications/opportunities using existing TI products or define future products

Put your talent to work with us as a system engineering intern – change the world, love your job!

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements:

• Currently pursuing PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field with algorithm and signal processing/data analytics background and mixed signal hardware experience

• Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA or higher

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated signal processing design experience for mixed-signal sensing solutions. Experience with different subsampling techniques and neural network are preferred.
