Job Description

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.

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.


Texas Instruments will not sponsor job applicants for visas or work authorization for this position.
