About Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments (TI) is a global semiconductor company designing, manufacturing, and selling analog and embedded processing chips — powering everything from industrial automation to automotive safety systems worldwide.

About the Team — High Speed Data Interface Product Group

The

High Speed Data Interface product group focuses on the development of differentiated high-speed

SerDes SoCs targeted for automotive and industrial markets . There are two primary focus areas —

Ethernet PHY and

FPD-Link .

Ethernet PHY Group

A large number of applications — like in-vehicle driver alertness monitors, steering, or accelerator control in automotive and robotic applications — require an Ethernet interface. The ubiquity of Ethernet-enabled devices allows customers to simplify connecting large numbers of devices in automotive and robotic environments. Customers expect robust performance in the presence of interference and ESD events, along with processing offload capabilities.

The low-cost migration from CAN to Ethernet presents unique challenges requiring interdisciplinary skills with aggressive cost and power targets.

FPD-Link Group:

The proprietary

FPD-Link interface addresses multi-gigabit (up to 20 Gbps)

automotive and industrial sensor and display markets. Constant increase in density of electronic sensing and display content is pushing data rate (>20 Gbps) and BER performance requirements higher. Automotive functional safety requirements demand robust performance at these high data rates under challenging environments while maintaining low power consumption.

The Broader Mission

As part of this product group, you will be engaged in designing solutions spanning

Analog, Digital, and Signal Processing domains to mitigate impairments such as high channel loss, ESD strikes, and narrowband interference. The team implements high-performance equalization circuits (CTLE, FFE, DFE), high-speed converters (DAC, ADC), high-speed digital front-ends, signal processing algorithms, embedded microcontrollers, and high-speed interfaces for camera and display systems.



The team has successfully achieved several differentiated innovations through collaborative cross-domain optimization.

The entire product lifecycle

— from product specification to customer and application support — is owned by the product group in

Bangalore , giving each team member tremendous learning opportunity and enhanced scope to influence the global success of the product . We are looking for passionate, creative, and self-driven engineers who challenge traditional techniques and come up with cutting-edge solutions to make a difference.

Role Overview

As a

Design Verification Engineer , you are the last line of defense before silicon. You will lead functional, formal, and system-level verification of complex mixed-signal SerDes SoCs — ensuring every block, subsystem, and top-level integration meets the stringent quality, safety, and performance requirements of automotive and industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities

Develop comprehensive

Verification Plans covering block-level, subsystem, and full-chip SoC verification Build and maintain advanced

UVM testbenches with constrained-random stimulus, functional coverage, and protocol checkers for SerDes, Ethernet MAC/PHY, and embedded microcontroller subsystems Apply assertion-based verification (ABV)

using SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for critical protocol and timing properties Execute formal verification

(model checking, property checking) for control logic, FSMs, and safety-critical paths using tools like JasperGold or VC Formal Lead system-level verification of mixed-signal SoC integration — incorporating analog behavioral models (Verilog-AMS / SystemC) for full end-to-end simulations Define, track,



and close functional coverage metrics

— ensuring coverage-driven verification closure across all blocks and integration levels Collaborate with design, silicon validation, and systems teams to triage and resolve functional issues through simulation and debug Ensure compliance with automotive functional safety standards

(ISO 26262, ASIL-B/D) throughout the verification lifecycle Contribute to regression infrastructure , CI/CD flows, and verification methodology improvements

✅ Required Qualifications
