IP Design Engineer – RTL | SoC | Embedded Processors

⚡ Architect the Intelligence Inside Tomorrow's Chips

At Texas Instruments, our engineers don't just write RTL — they architect and implement the IPs that power the world's most advanced automotive and industrial systems. If you're a digital design expert who thrives on micro-architecture development, RTL implementation, and timing closure, this is your opportunity.

🔎 About the Role

We are looking for a talented IP Design Engineer – RTL | SoC | Embedded Processors to join our Processors and Application Specific Microcontroller (ASM) Business Unit — part of TI's Embedded Processors group.

You will own the full IP development lifecycle — from micro-architecture and RTL implementation to synthesis, timing closure, and SoC integration support — for cutting-edge SoCs spanning 5nm technologies targeting automotive ADAS, zonal controllers, domain controllers, and industrial real-time control applications.

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where your RTL work directly shapes the architecture and performance of TI's most advanced embedded processor designs.

📌 Key Responsibilities

Lead micro-architecture development and RTL implementation of IPs in close collaboration with Systems and Architecture teams
Plan and execute high-quality IP development as an RTL engineer with full ownership
Perform quality checks on implemented RTL — LINT, CDC, and DFT rules — with clear documentation of exceptions and waivers
Drive synthesis and timing closure of implemented IPs along with equivalence checks
Provide quality documentation of IP implementation and deliverables through systematic reviews
Work closely with IP and SoC verification teams to achieve high-quality IP delivery
Provide support for SoC integration, constraint development, and timing closure
Contribute to and drive quality and cycle time improvement methodologies as part of the development process
Collaborate across functional teams responsible for IP/SoC development from spec to silicon

🛠️ Minimum Requirements

Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field
3–5 years of strong hands-on RTL design experience with IP designs for microcontrollers
Design experience with high-performance Bus Architectures, high-speed communication interfaces, and Analog Mixed Signal IPs
Strong knowledge of multi-clock domain design and expertise in Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis tools
Proven experience in RTL synthesis and optimization for power and timing
Experience with scripting and automation; IPXACT exposure is a bonus

🌟 Preferred Qualifications

3–5 years of hands-on IP development experience with team leadership exposure
Strong experience in micro-architecting, RTL implementation, CDC, synthesis, equivalence checks, and timing closure tools
Experience with hardware accelerators for mathematical functions, control peripherals, networking, multimedia interfaces (display, video, graphics)
Passion for correct-by-construct design and efficiency improvement methodologies
Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL)
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Strong cross-functional collaboration abilities across design, verification, and architecture teams
