Digital IC Design Engineer - Dallas, TX, United States
Originally posted 29 June 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Texas Instruments is seeking a Digital Design Engineer to join the Analog Power Products organization in Dallas. You will design and verify digital logic across the full digital design cycle for power management and analog ICs across industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
What you'll do
- Define and implement digital blocks including state machines, control logic, interfaces, and embedded processor subsystems in RTL. - Partner with systems and analog design teams to develop and refine digital design specifications that meet performance, power, and area targets. - Conduct chip architecture trade-off analysis to ensure spec compliance at competitive cost. - Participate in design reviews and produce thorough design and product documentation. - Supervise IC layout of digital blocks to ensure timing, power, and signal integrity requirements are met. - Develop and maintain behavioral and simulation models to support system-level analysis, characterize silicon prototypes, and coordinate with test and product engineering.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field. - 1+ years of experience in digital IC design or a related role.
Nice to have
- Proficiency in RTL design using Verilog or SystemVerilog. - Experience with functional verification methodologies including simulation, assertions, and coverage-driven verification. - Familiarity with synthesis and static timing analysis tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Genus, or equivalent. - Experience with low-power design techniques including clock gating, power domains, and multi-voltage design. - Exposure to standard digital interface protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, or similar. - Scripting skills for design automation using Python, Tcl, or Perl.
