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 **🟡 Track 2 — IF Filter & VGA Design** - 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 **🔴 Track 3 — Transmitter (TX) Design** - 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 operation **🛠️ Key Responsibilities (All Tracks)** - Lead **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 **🌟 Minimum Requirements** - **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 **💡 Why Texas Instruments?** 🌱 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 **📣 Ready to Lead UWB IC Design at TI Bangalore?** If you are passionate about analog/RF circuit design, cutting-edge wireless technology, and building the chips that secure and connect the world — **we want to hear from you!** 👉 **Apply now**
