Senior Digital Design Engineer | HSC

Texas Instruments•Fort Collins, CO

About The Position

This role contributes to the development of high-speed data converters for terrestrial and space applications. The engineer helps architect and develop high-speed digital data processing and mixed-signal communication circuits using advanced semiconductor process technologies, working across the design flow from architectural definition through place-and-route and partnering with analog design teams to create and test mixed-signal products. The position includes technical leadership and product ownership for a digital design team of 2–4 people, with responsibility from product definition through release to manufacturing. The work spans architecture specifications, RTL coding, simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, verification, and support for debug, validation, and test development. The engineer also collaborates with systems, applications, marketing, validation, product engineering, test engineering, customers, and TI field sales and applications teams.
