• Participate in debugging and enhancing existing software solutions
• Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of embedded systems, coding and application use cases
• Collaborate with business to develop requirements and create level of effort estimates
• Develop solutions following software development process (ISO26262) and best practice methodologies
• Mentor junior team members and lead/drive assigned projects with higher responsibilities.
• Develop automations and use AI/ML tools to enhance the execution efficiency
• Partner with businesses, R&D and program management to develop entitlement around solutions (training, work sessions, Planning)
• Analysis and resolution of customer and internal issues being encountered by the team and global end user community.
• Exposure to Security compliance Standards ISO21434 and CERT-C.

About the organization: In Radar BU, we develop mm-wave (60GHz and 77Hz) chips for automotive and industrial applications. Our mm-wave radar chips are critical in realization of a broad spectrum of high-tech use-cases, such as, environment sensing for autonomous and assisted driving of vehicles (ADAS functionalities), in-cabin sensing for seat-belt alerts and child-left-behind alerts, people sensing for indoor lighting and temperature control, human gesture sensing in intelligent gadgets, and sensing for robotics in factories, smart-homes and buildings. Our complex radar transceivers and systems-on-chip are an outcome of cutting-edge R&D across multiple disciplines (winner and 3-time finalist at Jack Kilby Award of Innovation), meticulous collaboration of our brightest and diligent analog, digital, systems, test, validation, packaging, and software technologists, as well as sophisticated measurement labs and sustained backing from TI leadership. These multi-core chips include high-end mm-wave amplifiers, PLLs, data convertors, signal processing and cryptography accelerators, processors, memories, AI/ML algorithms, built-in-self-tests, functional safety hardware and software, and power management, and have extremely challenging power, cost and performance specifications.

Radar BU is an emerging one and one of the fastest growing businesses in Embedded Processors. We are looking forward to you joining us in accelerating this growth!
