Digital IC Design Engineer

Job Title

Digital IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

The Digital IC Design Engineer will define, design, model and verify digital circuits and processor subsystems to meet performance, power, cost and schedule targets. The role sits on a product development engineering team focused on DSP/ARM heterogeneous multicore systems, 64-bit processor development, and associated memory and coherence subsystems.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify required years of experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include architecture, detailed design, modeling and verification work across digital processor subsystems and supporting activities:

• Architect and specify digital circuits and system-level processor subsystems (DSP, ARM, MMU, caches, shared memory).
• Design, model and verify digital logic and processor blocks to meet performance, power and cost targets.
• Develop behavioral models and CPU simulators; contribute to ISA and vector-processor feature development.
• Perform high-level analysis of architecture trade-offs and provide recommendations to system and business stakeholders.
• Participate in design reviews and produce required design and product documentation.
• Characterize prototypes, develop test specifications and coordinate with test/product engineering for product releases.
• Supervise or coordinate IC layout activities to ensure performance objectives are met.

Requirements

Concise list of required and preferred skills. Education items are summarized separately below.

• Must-have: Demonstrated ability to define, design, model and verify digital circuits and subsystems.
• Must-have: Practical experience or familiarity with processor architectures (DSP and/or ARM), memory subsystems, MMU and cache/coherency concepts.
• Must-have: Experience with behavioral modeling or simulator development for processor verification.
• Must-have: Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Must-have: Authorization to work in India; Texas Instruments will not sponsor visas for this position.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with 64-bit vector processor ISA development, heterogeneous multicore shared-memory systems, prototype characterization, or IC layout coordination.
• Nice-to-have: Strong time management and stakeholder management skills to deliver projects on schedule.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field. Cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 or higher is stated as a minimum.
