Texas Instruments (TI) is out front and ready for the next big challenge. Our innovations are at the core of nearly every electronics product in use today. And it doesn't stop there. We're developing breakthrough technology to power the world's future innovations as well. TI is committed to building a better future — from the responsible manufacturing of our semiconductors, to caring for our employees, to giving back inside our communities. Put your talent to work with us.

Our business has very high growth in TI and is in a segment where the market is fast growing. We're searching for applications engineer who have the passion and excitement to grow, innovative, take an active role in product definition, execute the characterization until ramp, and provide post ramp application support to customers.

• The 800V HVDC Application Engineer is an outstanding opportunity to allow technically minded engineers to broaden their system engineering skills and application knowledge, while partnering closely with our local sales organization, focusing on Data Center end equipment supports customers in designing, validating, optimizing, troubleshooting quality and applications related issues on power solutions for high-performance server and infrastructure applications. This role requires strong technical depth in power conversion and system-level integration, along with a high level of on-site customer engagement to accelerate design cycles, resolve issues in real time, and strengthen customer adoption of TI solutions.

Responsibilities Include

• Support hyperscale and enterprise customers in HVDC 800-xV designs, validation, and optimization of 800V HVDC solutions used in server, storage, networking, and related end equipment.

• Support total solution bring-up, debugging, characterization, and customer qualifications with TI products.

• Design system architectures for high-power-density DC-DC converters, intermediate bus converters (IBCs), and HVDC power delivery solutions.

• Develop power system specifications, requirements, validation plans, reference designs, lab data, application notes, testing guidance, and technical collateral relevant to Data Center power applications.

• Collaborate with IC design, magnetics, packaging, thermal, and firmware for total system solutions.

• Perform modeling and simulation using tools such as SIMPLIS, SPICE, MATLAB, or equivalent.

• Analyze system performance including system control stability, efficiency, transient response, EMI, thermal behavior, and fault protection.

• Contribute to demos, simulations, validation work, and technical presentations as needed

• Support the sales team by providing the training course, technical guidance, joining customer discussions, helping position TI solutions against application requirements, and contributing to design-in success at key accounts.

Minimum requirements

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or 5+years hands‑on experience in data center power supply designs.
• Strong background in power electronics and power conversion architectures.
• Deep understanding of magnetics, resonant converters, switching converters, and power semiconductor devices.
• Proficiency with system modeling using LTspice, Simplis, PLECS and hardware design tools like Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro.
• Experienced with power analyzers, high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, thermal imaging cameras, Bode analyzers, power supplies, e-loads and ancillary equipment
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.  Written and verbal communication skills in English/Mandarin; ability to produce clear bilingual (English/Mandarin) technical documents and to present to global customers, internal stakeholders, and at international conferences.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with LLC, DAB, CLLC, multiphase buck, or switched-capacitor converters.
• Knowledge of high-voltage power distribution (48V, 400V, 800V HVDC).
• Familiarity with AI server, GPU, telecom, or data center power architectures.
• Experience with planar magnetics, GaN devices, and advanced packaging technologies.
• Experience working directly with hyperscale customers on customer design debug, system bring-up, and issue resolution.
• Track record of strong ownership, collaboration, and execution.
• Publication, patent, or conference paper on GaN based power converter design.
