Job Description
Change the world. Love your job.
Texas Instruments' Precision ADC team is seeking a Digital Design & Firmware Engineer to help develop cutting-edge delta-sigma ADC products. You will work alongside world-class analog and mixed-signal designers building some of the highest-precision data converters in the industry. This is a uniquely cross-domain role that sits at the intersection of embedded firmware and digital hardware design, where your contributions span from RTL implementation down to C-based embedded firmware running on real silicon.
In this position, you will contribute to the digital design of high-resolution delta-sigma ADC products, including digital decimation filters, calibration logic, on-chip state machines, and serial interface blocks, while also developing the embedded C firmware used in production silicon. You will work closely with analog designers, verification engineers, and applications teams to define register maps, debug hardware/firmware interactions, and validate end-to-end device behavior from bit-level RTL to system-level measurement.
We value curiosity and a genuine desire to grow across domain boundaries. If you are an engineer who enjoys equally RTL and low-level C, this team will give you the environment and mentorship to do so. Products built here are trusted in medical, industrial, and instrumentation applications worldwide; the quality bar is high and the learning opportunity is exceptional.
Qualifications
Minimum requirements
- Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
- 2+ years of relevant experience in digital design, embedded firmware, or a combination of both
- Proficiency in C for embedded or bare-metal environments
- Familiarity with RTL design using Verilog or SystemVerilog
- Understanding of digital logic design fundamentals
- Ability to solve problems using a systematic approach
Preferred qualifications
- Experience writing embedded C drivers or evaluation firmware for mixed-signal devices
- Hands-on RTL design experience - combinational and sequential logic, FSMs, and synchronous design practices
- Familiarity with serial communication protocols used in precision ADCs (SPI, I2C, UART)
- Exposure to delta-sigma ADC architecture, digital filtering (sinc/decimation), or data converter fundamentals is a plus
- Familiarity with simulation and synthesis tools (ModelSim, Xcelium, VCS, or equivalent)
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python for test automation or data analysis
- Familiarity with functional safety standards (IEC 61508, IEC 60730, or ISO 26262) and associated design practices such as FMEA, diagnostic coverage, or safe failure fraction analysis is a plus
- Demonstrated 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
- Ability to quickly ramp on new systems, processes, and design domains
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
- Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
