We can’t predict what the future holds, but we know Texas Instruments will have a part in shaping it. 
As a member of the Embedded Processors team, you will be working on state-of-the-art processors and microcontrollers to make the world smarter, safer, and greener.  These products are the heart of autonomous vehicles, intelligent robots, electric vehicles, and energy efficient homes and push the boundaries of technology integrating high-speed interface controllers, networking accelerators, deep learning accelerators, ARM/RISC-V compute cores, vision analytics, security, and multimedia.  You will help build products that will transform the world by making technology reachable, affordable and accessible for all.

About the Job

The job offers the opportunity to design, architect and micro architect IPs meeting data movement, interconnect, safety, security, Realtime functionality, Multimedia, ARM CPU Cores, Vision analytics and camera/display interfaces IP needs within Embedded Processor IP team.  As an IP design engineer, you will be part of a team with a charter to develop infrastructure IPs, Multimedia IPs covering capture to display with processing through graphics, video, imaging etc and/or ARM CPU cores, that solve our customers’ challenges primarily in the growing automotive and industrial space.  As an IP owner, you will drive the requirements gathering, design, and implementation of the IPs to ensure that differentiated IP meets all functional requirements as well as holds high quality standards.

You will interface with various engineering teams within Processor including SoC design, verification, validation, test, systems, SW, applications and marketing to successfully develop new IPs from concept to design. Expertise in Data movement and bus protocols (AMBA, OCP etc) is must and knowledge of interrupt, security, safety, coherence, ARM CPU cores and/or Multimedia IPs (imaging, display and vision) are desirable.

You will be a core member in the IP design team driving flawless execution, while finding innovative solutions to customers’ problems through “out of the box thinking” to deliver highly differentiated products.

Job Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Be a key team member from IP requirement definition till release to market, working closely with all cross-functional teams
• Define or enhance the micro-architecture for Digital IP blocks
• RTL development and QC flows (Lint, CDC, synthesis) to ensure superior IP quality
• Interface with 3^rd party IP vendors and drive requirements and delivery milestones/quality
• Work closely with IP verification team to help build the IP verification plan and tests.  Support functional debugs
• Support IP during silicon bring-up activities, test program development, customer engagement and silicon/application debug
• Drive IP architectural optimization for area, power and performance improvements

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study
• 10+ years of experience in design/RTL development

Preferred qualifications:

• Expertise in Data movement, SOC integration concepts, bus-protocols (AMBA i.e. AXI, CHI, AHB, APB etc), exposure to ARM CPU cores and Multimedia processing (imaging, video, vision and display)
• Must know Verilog language
• Simulation tools like NCsim, code coverage and debug tools
• Lint checkers, Clock domain crossing (CDC) checkers, Synthesis and timing-closure
• A good understanding of digital functionality and exposure to digital design methods
• Hands-on front-end design experience of complex multi clock domain IP blocks
• Ability to convert high level system requirements/changes into micro-architectural changes and then into RTL
• Ability to extract the functionality / micro-architecture of existing design even with sparse legacy documentation
• Familiarity with verification environments to be able to actively participate in functional debugs
• Understand and own in detail the functional specifications of the IPs
• Participate in and conduct design reviews. Create the necessary design documentation
• Ability to take initiatives and drive the results working with team members across time-zones
• Handling & owning design deliverables and schedule
• Ability to solve problems using a systematic approach 
• Experience with SystemVerilog and VHDL
• Knowledge of bus protocols such as AXI, CHI, AHB, APB, OCP etc, ARM CPU cores, Multimedia IPs (imaging, vision, video, display)
• Experience with bus protocol such as AXI, AHB, APB, OCP, etc.
• Experience with scripting languages such as TcL, Perl, and Python
• Silicon debug experience on the automated test equipment (ATE) and bench characterization environments
• Demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
• Verification and validation experience are a plus
