Change the world. Love your job.
Texas Instruments is seeking a Design Verification Engineer to join our Analog Power Products organization in Knoxville. In this role, you will develop and execute verification strategies that ensure first-pass silicon success for next-generation analog and mixed-signal ICs across industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
As a Design Verification Engineer, you will work across the full verification cycle – from developing detailed verification plans and building test benches through running coverage regressions, tracking closure, and contributing to continuous improvements in DV methodology – collaborating closely with digital design and systems engineering teams.
Responsibilities include:
- Develop detailed verification plans while working closely with the design and system team to ensure first-pass silicon success
- Develop test benches, tests, and simulations at RTL and gate-level (GLS)
- Run coverage regressions to meet defined coverage goals
- Track and communicate verification status, issues, and concerns
- Work with regression tools and develop scripts to submit cases for regression analysis
- Contribute to continuous improvements for quality and efficiency on DV strategy, tools, methods, and flows
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 1+ years of experience in design verification or a related role
- Experience with functional verification methodologies including simulation, assertions, and coverage-driven verification
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based testbench development
- Familiarity with RTL simulation tools (Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, or equivalent)
- Experience with gate-level simulation and timing-aware verification flows
- Scripting skills for regression automation and verification flow development (Python, Tcl, or Perl)
- Ability to establish strong relationships with key stakeholders critical to success, both internally and externally
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Demonstrated strong interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
