Job description

Design the Chip That Secures Tomorrow's Connected World

At Texas Instruments, we're building the technology that powers secure ranging, automotive access, and next-gen radar sensing — all through the magic of Ultra-Wideband (UWB). If you're an experienced analog/RF IC design engineer who thrives on full design cycle ownership from architecture to silicon, this is your defining opportunity.

About UWB & Why It Matters

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is one of the fastest-growing connectivity technologies in the world today:

• Automotive: Secure keyless entry in BMW, Tesla, BYD — using sub-4ns pulses for precise ranging
• Mobile: Integrated in Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy for proximity and location
• Safety: UWB radar detecting child presence, breathing, and movement inside vehicles
• Security: Advanced encryption + ultra-low duty cycle makes it the most secure short-range radio

Operating at 7–10 GHz with 500 MHz bandwidth, UWB is redefining wireless connectivity — and TI is at the heart of it.

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Analog/RF IC Design Engineer to join our UWB Design Group within TI's RF Transceiver & Connectivity division in Bangalore, India.

You will experience the full product design lifecycle — from block architecture and concept design through schematic, layout, extracted simulation, and silicon test & verification — for cutting-edge UWB transceiver SoCs (MCU-integrated).

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility lead-level role with one of three specialization tracks:

• Architecture and design of Crystal Oscillators, Integer/Fractional PLLs, and LO Distribution Systems
• Ensure low phase noise, fast lock time, and robust performance across PVT corners
• Design and simulate PLL loop dynamics, VCO, dividers, and charge pumps
• Design of Intermediate Frequency (IF) filters and Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGA)
• Optimize linearity, noise, and bandwidth for the receive chain
• Support calibration modules — AGC, gain, offset, IQMM
• Full TX chain design — DAC, baseband filters, up-conversion mixers, and Power Amplifier (PA) stages
• Drive TX pin performance across EVM, output power, spectral mask, and linearity specs
• Support calibration and power management for low-power TX operationLead block-level architecture definition in collaboration with systems team
• Execute concept design, schematic, layout, and extracted simulations (Cadence Virtuoso)
• Perform design verification and silicon bring-up — correlate simulations with silicon measurements
• Support test & characterization with the validation team
• Collaborate with packaging, PCB, and solution design teams for holistic product delivery
• Mentor junior engineers and drive design quality and methodology improvements
• Contribute to patent filings and technical publications
• Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field
• 3–10 years of hands‑on analog/RF IC design experience with demonstrated full design cycle exposure
• Strong proficiency in analog/RF circuit design — LNA, mixers, filters, PLL, PA, or VGA
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso — schematic, layout, and post‑extraction simulation
• Solid understanding of RF system parameters — NF, gain, linearity, phase noise, EVM
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills across design and silicon

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in UWB, WLAN/WiFi, or microwave frequency (7–10 GHz) IC design
• Expertise in PLL design — VCO, charge pump, fractional‑N, loop filter
• Experience in TX chain design — DAC, upconversion mixer, PA, spectral mask compliance
• Knowledge of calibration techniques — AGC, PDET, IQ mismatch correction
• Familiarity with low‑power design and power management (LDO, low‑current modes)
• PCB‑level understanding for solution and validation board design
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Passion for patent authorship and domain leadership

Growth: Work on UWB — one of the fastest‑growing wireless technologies in the world

Impact: Your IC design will be integrated in automotive, mobile & industrial applications globally

Culture: Collaborative, technically enriching & innovation‑driven RF engineering environment

Compensation: Attractive compensation package with long‑term incentives

Innovation: Ample opportunities to file patents and become a recognized RF domain leader

Technology: Holistic design exposure — Silicon, Packaging, PCB & System Solution
