About The Position

Change the world. Love your job. Software at TI usually refers to embedded software (such as device firmware, device peripheral drivers, software frameworks, algorithms, etc.) and the related software development tools (compilers, simulators, demo software, IDEs, etc.) Software engineers are critical to our “whole-product” offerings. We rely on them to ensure our products are easy to use and customers can get our products up and running quickly. To do that, they partner closely with our product development and demand creation teams on pre-silicon software design and requirements as well as software validation and test activities. They also have an eye for backwards and cross-compatibility and reuse to ensure we are as efficient as possible. In addition, software engineers might work directly with customers on any issues that arise and deliver on-going support along with regular software releases, which includes quality assurance and release management activities. As a Software Engineer, some of your responsibilities may include: Requirements definition, design, development, test, integration, and support of embedded software (e.g. operating system software, device drivers, software frameworks, algorithmic libraries etc.) and software development tools (compilers, simulators, IDEs, etc.) Following established software development methodology and practices defined for the business Developing and applying machine learning algorithms to edge applications, which may include using AI coding assistant to develop embedded software Supporting pre-silicon design and requirements as well as software validation activities Impacting hardware architecture requirements from a software usage, compatibility, performance, and reuse potential perspectives Using the most up to date coding languages, conducting server analysis and reporting infrastructure Creating and maintaining customer collateral for software products and deliverables Working closely with TI teams (silicon, hardware, software teams) and customers as part of the normal software life-cycle Quality assurance and configuration/release management

Requirements
