Change the world. Love your job.

Texas Instruments is looking for a new Applications Validation & Verification (AVV) Engineer to join our Advanced Technology Integration (ATI) group. The AVV takes a top-down wholistic approach to validating our next gen Automotive and Industrial SoC designs. In this role, you will design, create, and execute tests that validate many of the system's features at once, mimicking end-user applications. You will analyze not only functionality but also performance(throughput, latency, MIPS, etc.) and power(Operational, Idle, Low-power modes) as well as work on both pre-silicon emulation platforms and real silicon. You will be working purely in baremetal(C with some assembly); no operating system, no kernel.

Come join us in cutting edge development of our next-generation System-on-Chip products!

Job Responsibilities:

Evaluate SoC designs with Systems Experts to determine key targets for V&V.
Design and document test plans for SoCs.
Create tests using C (with some assembly), with support from scripting languages.
Debug tests and designs on pre-silicon emulation platforms.
Repeat test execution and debugging on real silicon.
Work cross-functionally with design team and other validation teams to ensure all tests pass.
Document results, issues encountered, flows used, tools created, etc.
Support cross-functional teams and FAEs fielding customer questions.

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, ECE, Computer Engineering or related degree
5 years engineering experience working with silicon design and/or validation
Experience with digital/embedded design on emulation/FPGA platforms/RTL Sim

Preferred Qualifications:

Proficient in C/C++ programming
Advanced knowledge of computer architectures (at least those related to DDR interfaces and associated system interconnects)
Advanced knowledge of digital logic
Intermediate knowledge of hardware design languages
Experience with embedded systems debugging
Experience debugging with digital waveforms
Advanced level of technical competence and understanding
Advanced level of imaginative & process-based problem-solving skills
Multi-disciplinary; able to work and contribute in multiple technical domains
Self-learner; able to study from documentation and code
Taskmaster; able to self-start and still tackle complex tasks
Experience working with DDR(4/5/LP4/LP5) interfaces in both pre- and post-silicon.
Experience with cacheing and coherency validation
Experience with pre-silicon power measurement
Proficient in assembly programming
Experience with DSPs, especially C6x/C7x
Experience with TI SoCs
Proficient in automation/scripting using regular expressions

About the Company

Texas Instruments

Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants

Texas Instruments designs and makes analog and embedded processing chips, the basic parts inside cars, factory equipment, data centers, and consumer electronics, and it sells one of the broadest chip catalogs in the industry. In 1958, its engineer Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit, the building block of modern electronics, and later won a Nobel Prize for it. Its analog chips regulate power and convert signals such as sound and heat into data, while its microcontrollers act as small built-in computers, and TI earns money selling both to device makers. It also makes the graphing calculators many students use in math class. Texas Instruments was founded in 1930 and is based in Dallas, Texas.
