AV&V Engineer

We are at a pivotal moment where technology is rapidly evolving, and we have some exciting opportunities within our MCU organization that place us right at the center of this transformation.

Our current work is focused on developing solutions for high-growth markets such as AI-driven data centers and emerging domains like humanoid systems. These areas are shaping the future of computing, automation, and intelligent systems, and offer a unique chance to work on cutting-edge technologies with real-world impact.

If you are passionate about solving complex technical challenges and want to contribute to innovations in these fast-growing segments, I encourage you to come forward and apply. This is an opportunity to be part of a journey that is not only technically rewarding but also strategically significant.

Looking forward to seeing many of you take this step.

Texas Instruments is seeking an experienced and highly skilled  AV&V Engineer to join our silicon design team. In this role, you will serve as a functional validation engineer to own/lead activities for different SoCs. You will work on different aspects of  pre / post-silicon execution, FPGA prototyping, and hardware emulation to ensure our highly differentiated products meet the highest quality standards.

What you will gain from this role:

• Own/Lead SoC Validation, FPGA & Emulation for Application specific MCUs.

• Global Exposure: Opportunity to interact with world-wide teams for FPGA prototyping, emulation, post-silicon validation, and system integration.

Your Responsibilities:

• FPGA Prototyping & Emulation: Own SoC prototyping and validation strategies using high-performance platforms, specifically FPGA (e.g., Xilinx/AMD, Intel) and Palladium hardware emulation environments.

• Silicon Bring-up: Own the execution of post-silicon bring-up, functional validation, and characterization activities across temperature and voltage corners.

• Board-Level Concepts: Own the development of complex validation boards, custom FPGA prototyping boards, reference platforms, and test fixtures required for silicon evaluation.

• Cross-Functional Debug: Interact heavily with Test, Software/ROM, Application Engineering, and Analog Design teams to isolate, root-cause, and debug complex silicon bugs using both lab equipment and FPGA/Emulation trace environments.

• Influence & Governance: Participate in and conduct rigorous hardware design reviews, board schematic reviews, and post-silicon/FPGA readiness gates.

• Methodology Innovation: Innovate and drive improved validation methodologies and automation frameworks, collaborating with EDA and instrument vendors to upgrade lab tools, FPGA synthesis/mapping tools, and emulation flows.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronics Engineering.

• Experience: Minimum of 4+ years of experience in semiconductor validation and prototyping

• Technical Depth: Strong understanding of board-level hardware concepts, high-speed signal integrity, lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), FPGA prototyping workflows, and emulation platforms (Palladium).

• Soft Skills: Strong verbal/written communication, time management, analytical problem-solving, and a result-driven attitude to handle dynamically evolving requirements.
