Job Title

System Engineer - Radar RF

Role Summary

System Engineer responsible for defining radar product requirements, engaging with local automotive customers, and translating system-level needs into device and platform specifications. Works with marketing, applications, and design teams to secure design wins and ensure products meet performance, cost, and manufacturability targets.

Experience Level

Mid-level / Mid-Career — posting specifies 5+ years of radar system and RF design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on customer engagement, system-level validation, and translating customer requirements into product definitions and support collateral.

• Review customer radar PCB layouts and antenna designs; troubleshoot radar RF functional and performance issues.
• Test TI or customer radar RF performance using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, target simulators, vector network analyzers and other instruments; diagnose and tune systems to meet targets.
• Maintain deep technical relationships with local automotive customers and map customer requirements to TI radar device specifications.
• Collaborate with design teams to convert system requirements into RF, memory, and processing specifications for new device definitions.
• Collect and prioritize hardware reference collateral from customers to align software and hardware development teams for design wins.
• Develop and engage a local third-party ecosystem to support customer needs.
• Support and train central applications engineering and sales organizations on new and existing products.
• Create technical documentation: datasheets, application notes, user guides, EVMs, SPICE models, and supply-chain materials.
