Job description

Change the world. Love your job.Aerospace & DefenseSystemsteam, within theWW Marketing / SEMorganization, is solving some of the most cutting-edge technology design challenges. For over 60 years, we have created a wide range of high-reliability products for space, avionics and defense electronics designs. Engineers rely on TI's product availability and system-level knowledge, support and detailed design resources to meet mission-critical design requirements with products that can operate in harsh environments for decades. Systems Marketing Engineers within the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) team push technological boundaries through system innovations in the demanding A&D industry. Through direct interaction with A&D customers, product development teams, and sales, you will enable current and future system advancements in applications like Space, RADAR, Ruggedized Communications, and Drones.

The key responsibilities in this role include:

Customer Collaboration & Opportunity Management

• Collaborate with customers and Field Application Engineers (FAEs) to identify top opportunities in key focus areas.
• Establish effective working relationships with key stakeholders (customers, FAEs, product lines), synchronizing project engagement to target growth in top markets, applications, customers and projects.
• Co-develop competitive solutions with customer engineers and FAEs, demonstrating a comfort with change and uncertainty.
• Execute on actions driven by customer opportunitieswith urgency and technical proficiency, reflecting the 'proper paranoia' of anticipating best outcomes while preparing for the worst.
• Relentlessly drive design wins for new and existing products.
• Create engaging training and technical content, demonstrating dedication to mission success and respect, credibility, and trust among peers.
• Bring quick resolution to customer problems by interfacing across different functional groups such as design, product, test, packaging, marketing and sales.
• Identify and promptly adapt to changes in the market and technology landscape.
• Apply systems-level thinking to execute actions and growth strategies targeting specific markets, customers, and end-equipment.
• Analyze key applications to identify future trends, identifying opportunities for improving performance and adding value to these systems.
• Transform design requirements into system architecture, evaluating options for the best solution.
• Break down system requirements to determine necessary design effort and manage requirement changes, reflecting a comprehensive view and creativity in problem-solving.
• Coordinate and track progress with stakeholders to establish support strategies (design deliverables), timelines, and requirements for design solution.
• Communicate complex technical concepts and the big picture effectively to a broad audience.
• Promote stakeholder alignment using clear, consistent communication.
• Define the scope of technical work needed for actions, identifying engineering tools and collaboration necessary to meet design schedules.
• Analyze and compare circuit design solutions, documenting and executing steps to identify the optimal solution.
• Execute circuit design processes, including device selection, circuit analysis, simulation, and optimization.
• Develop prototypes, from performing schematic capture, layout, to driving PCB build and assembly.
• Develop and execute a test and verification plan, performing in-lab testing and troubleshooting when necessary.
• Prepare and present design solution overviews to stakeholders, showcasing self-confidence and comfort with making decisions.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks of technical deviations during the design cycle.
• Manage changing design requirements throughout the design cycle.
