Analog IC Design Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.
Texas Instruments (TI) is out front and ready for the next big challenge. Our innovations are at the core of nearly every electronics product in use today. And it doesn't stop there. We're developing breakthrough technology to power the world's future innovations as well. TI is committed to building a better future — from the responsible manufacturing of our semiconductors, to caring for our employees, to giving back inside our communities. Put your talent to work with us.

This is a great opportunity to be part of an established team that's continuing to look for growth opportunities, working with worldwide leading customers and developing cutting edge solutions in the areas of consumer electronics, mobile computing and communications.

As an experienced Analog designer, you will be part of a team with a charter to develop TI's next generation portfolio of Low Voltage (<12V) precision and general purpose amplifiers and comparators. You will be a core member in a design team driving flawless execution, while finding innovative circuit solutions to customers’ problems through “out of the box thinking” to deliver highly differentiated products.

The role will provide you exposure to semiconductor process technology development as well as various engineering teams within the product line including verification, layout, validation, test, systems, applications and marketing to successfully execute new products from concept to volume production and subsequent support.

You will be a core member in a design team driving flawless execution, while finding innovative solutions to customers’ problems through “out of the box thinking” to deliver highly differentiated products.

In this role, responsibilities may include:

• Design and verification of bias block, band gap, sub regulators, protection circuits supporting industry's leading amplifier products
• Design and develop high speed (<50MHz), micro power, nano power cost efficient precision amplifiers
