Job Description: 

Kilby Labs is looking for a biomedical systems/applications engineer to do research and development on novel point of care devices based on specialized electrochemical, magnetics, optical and ultrasound sensing technologies. Kilby Labs represents a research organization within TI chartered to define innovative and valuable IP in collaboration with business units and customers. Kilby engineers must have the ability to approach new and/or existing problems in a way that results in unique, highly disruptive and protectable solutions. Kilby engineers have the opportunity to participate in every aspect of the IP development including system definition, design, simulations, prototyping, bench evaluation, transfer to production, and customer visits. Kilby engineers are required to be self-motivated, critical thinkers, clear communicators, and be able to influence both technical and business leaders all within team environments. 

Integrated semiconductor-based sensing technology’s applications range from industrial sensor applications to future of point of care diagnostic tools and wearables. Decentralized healthcare requires more accurate, portable, and multiplexed diagnostic tools. We are looking for biomedical sensor experts to do research and development on electrochemical/magnetics/optical/ultrasound-based sensors to enable breakthroughs in this field. Key responsibilities include • Develop semiconductor-based biomedical sensing technology roadmap • Validate and benchmark sensor chips • Identify and engage service providers for functionalization of sensor surface • Work with customers to define concepts and prototypes towards product • Work with internal product teams to productize research prototypes 

Responsibilities may include:

• Research and create new product definitions, including developing business case proposals, product strategies and taking products to market 
• Analyze and identify trends in clinical and consumer grade medical point of care devices, identifying opportunities for improving performance and adding value to these systems
• Assess and negotiate IC development tradeoffs with design team and customers
• Be the technical expert, responsible for product ramp up at the customer
• Silicon system evaluation (HW, SW if needed) and related documentation
• Application support for prototypes, newly introduced and existing products 
• Support and train central applications engineering and sales organizations on new/existing products
• Relentlessly drive new design wins for new and existing products
• Trouble-shoot customer application issues by lab testing, schematic analysis and other methods, as necessary
• Bring quick resolution to customer problems by interfacing across different functional groups such as design, product, test, packaging, marketing and sales
• Assist with generating the revenue plan for the organization
• Definition of successful new products at TI, system evaluation and taking the products to market
