Who are we and what do we do
We are seeking a Senior Analog Design Engineer for our development team, which is part of the Low Power Audio (LPA) product line, which is part of Audio BU. This role provides a unique opportunity to be part of a world-class team that develops best-in-class audio amplifiers which cater to a wide array of market segments and end-applications including cellphones, tablets, IoT devices, smart speakers etc. TI being a market leader in this technology domain, this role provides the challenge to drive continuous innovation while executing to the demands of the market. These products contain multiple sub-systems, which include high performance higher-order Class-D stages, high accuracy sense circuitry for speaker protection and corrections, data converters (sigma delta ADCs, DACs, SAR ADCs), power systems(boost converters, charge pumps, LDOs) etc. which are built as part of a complex audio SoC which provides all the smarts of a SmartAmp device.
What will you be doing in this role (Responsibilities)
As a Senior Analog Engineer for LPA development team, you will be part of a high-performance team delivering cutting edge audio products. In this role, you will be handing the following responsibilities:
- Development of analog modules for complex audio amplifier systems, with focus on one or more of these domains
- High performance, high-order loop Audio ClassD amplifiers
- High accuracy signal/sense path which has sigma Delta converters, high-CMRR/linearity amplifiers etc.
- High voltage designs either in power converters(boost) and output drivers which operate out of <30V with strict efficiency constraints and EMI/reliability performance requirements
- Architect, plan, design and track the development of complex analog modules
- Take the design through the pre-silicon development as well as support the post-silicon evaluation and debug
- Work with Systems Team/Technologist to understand the customer requirements and participate in the definition of new products
- Drive architectural trade-offs based on system level understanding, and translate system requirements to module specifications
- Guiding and mentoring the younger engineers in the team
- Responsible for the overall design quality by ensuring that best practices etc. are followed
- Working with the application team during post-release support, regarding specific customer queries
What do we expect from you (Mini Qualifications)
- Good fundamental knowledge in analog design and experience in complex blocks
- Expertise in one or more of the following domains:
- High performance signal-chain design and sensing, (Converters, High performance amplifiers, high accuracy current/voltage sensing etc.)
- Power system/driver designs (Power converters, high voltage output drivers)
- Audio signal path (higher order ClassD systems)
- Experienced with IC design and full development cycle from definition through release to production.
- Effective communication skills to interact with all stakeholders.
- Knowledge of analog circuit design techniques, including basic building blocks of voltage/current references, data converters, oscillators etc.
- Must be highly focused and remain committed to obtaining closure on project goals.
- Team and People Skills: The candidate should have good people skills to work closely with all the stakeholder teams
Preferred Skills/ Experience
- Experience in analog development in designs of signal chain components, power system design, high voltage modules
- Experience in signal processing is a plus
- 3-8 Years Experience
