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) for the entire chip
  • 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
