Put your talent to work with us – change the world, love your job!

About the job:

The automotive Ethernet field application team at Texas Instruments EMEA Sales GmbH (TI) provides technical support (hardware and software related) for automotive suppliers and OEMs. Most of the tasks are focused on dedicated Automotive Ethernet PHY’s and connection to system-on-chip (SoC) devices that are developed for automotive systems like gateways, camera- and sensor end points. Examples are TI’s SoC family (TDAx) and TI Automotive PHY’s supporting 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet standards.

One field of activity is to develop hardware near example code and test code for interface modules to demonstrate the capability of the SoC and the PHY. Also the development of demo hardware as well as media converters and test boards is in focus. In addition the field application team helps Ethernet customers during system development and takes care of any hardware- or software-related issue by understanding, analyzing and reproducing the reported finding. Typical Ethernet applications range from a stand-alone function like a singly PHY connection up to gateways with multiple PHYs of different standard classes and a complex switch matrix to handle the traffic.

Objectives:

• Development of hardware near software examples on TI’s Ethernet PHY’s and SoC’s
• Testing of use case examples on new PHY’s and  SoC’s
• Customization of existing hardware and software to demonstrate distinct features
• Debugging of hardware and software issues
• Documentation of developed software and hardware
• Building Demo Systems

When: SS 2021 or WS 21/22

Duration:  Approx. 6 month
[OPTIONAL: Internship can be amended with a Bachelor-/Masterthesis]

Minimum Qualifications: 

• Student of electrical engineering, computer engineering or related field with background on application and signal processors and SoC’s
