Digital IC Design & Firmware Engineer | Precision ADC

Change the world. Love your job.

Texas Instruments' Precision ADC team is seeking a Digital Design & Firmware Engineer to help develop cutting-edge delta-sigma ADC products. You will work alongside world-class analog and mixed-signal designers building some of the highest-precision data converters in the industry. This is a uniquely cross-domain role that sits at the intersection of embedded firmware and digital hardware design, where your contributions span from RTL implementation down to C-based embedded firmware running on real silicon.

In this position, you will contribute to the digital design of high-resolution delta-sigma ADC products, including digital decimation filters, calibration logic, on-chip state machines, and serial interface blocks, while also developing the embedded C firmware used in production silicon. You will work closely with analog designers, verification engineers, and applications teams to define register maps, debug hardware/firmware interactions, and validate end-to-end device behavior from bit-level RTL to system-level measurement.

We value curiosity and a genuine desire to grow across domain boundaries. If you are an engineer who enjoys equally RTL and low-level C, this team will give you the environment and mentorship to do so. Products built here are trusted in medical, industrial, and instrumentation applications worldwide; the quality bar is high and the learning opportunity is exceptional.

Minimum requirements:

* Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering

* 2+ years of relevant experience in digital design, embedded firmware, or a combination of both

* Proficiency in C for embedded or bare-metal environments

* Familiarity with RTL design using Verilog or System Verilog

* Understanding of digital logic design fundamentals

* Ability to solve problems using a systematic approach

Preferred qualifications:

* Experience writing embedded C drivers or evaluation firmware for mixed-signal devices

* Hands-on RTL design experience - combinational and sequential logic, FSMs, and synchronous design practices

* Familiarity with serial communication protocols used in precision ADCs (SPI, I2C, UART)

* Exposure to delta-sigma ADC architecture, digital filtering (sinc/decimation), or data converter fundamentals is a plus

* Familiarity with simulation and synthesis tools (Model Sim, Xcelium, VCS, or equivalent)

* Experience with scripting languages such as Python for test automation or data analysis

* Familiarity with functional safety standards (IEC 61508, IEC 60730, or ISO 26262) and associated design practices such as FMEA, diagnostic coverage, or safe failure fraction analysis is a plus

* Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills

* Strong verbal and written communication skills

* Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions

* Ability to quickly ramp on new systems, processes, and design domains

* Ability to take the initiative and drive for results

* Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
