• Make assignments for team members providing design guidance as needed developing schedules and monitoring progress throughout the project.
• Evaluate intermediate and final results of projects during the design phase and during silicon evaluation to ensure accomplishment of technical objectives.
• Work with and provide guidance to physical designers and monitors the progress of IC layout.
• Collaborate with Design Verification teams during the pre-PG phase of a project to ensure completion of all technical tasks before PG.
• Work with systems engineers application engineers and marketing to prepare product briefs datasheets application notes and assisting in the definition of the product to meet customer needs as well as contributing to roadmap formulation and new concept creation.
• Collaborate with validation product engineering and test engineering teams to enable successful transfer to production.
• Interface and lead discussions with the customer and/or TI field sales/field applications teams to understand customer designs problems and support as required.
• Actively participate in hiring developing and evaluating personnel to ensure efficient operation of the organization and growth of the individuals into leader.

• Bachelors & Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or related field of study
• 8 years of analog circuit design

• Active involvement with a customers. Candidate would be expected to interact and collaborate with a sense of ownership with customers and all product development team members including design layout systems verification validation test and program management
