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 innovative solutions to make a difference.
Role Overview
As a Digital Design & RTL Engineer , you will architect and implement the high-speed digital subsystems that form the backbone of next-generation automotive and industrial Ser Des So Cs. From digital front-end receivers to embedded microcontroller cores and high-speed camera/display interfaces, your work will directly determine the functionality, performance, and reliability of TI's most advanced connectivity products.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement high-speed digital front-end architectures for Ser Des receivers and transmitters, including CDR logic, phase interpolators, and digital adaptation engines
Develop embedded microcontroller subsystems integrated within the So C fabric — including memory maps, interrupt controllers, boot sequences, and peripheral interfaces
Implement and optimize high-speed camera and display interfaces (FPD-Link, MIPI CSI/DSI, and proprietary protocols) for automotive sensor and display applications
Write clean, synthesizable, and well-documented RTL in Verilog / System Verilog following automotive-grade coding guidelines
Collaborate with verification teams to ensure functional correctness, coverage closure, and protocol compliance
Partner with physical design teams for timing-aware RTL coding, synthesis optimization, and DFT insertion
Drive design reviews , microarchitecture documentation, and cross-functional technical discussions
Contribute to innovation through novel digital architectures targeting power, area, and performance optimization
