SoC Digital Design Manager

Who are we and what do we do?

The HVP team in TI develops power solutions for a wide array of end equipment’s, with several hundreds of volts of withstand capability.This team in TI offers one of the world's largest comprehensive portfolios of high-performance AC / DC and isolated DC / DC controllers, converters and modules with the widest range of power topology options.

Within HVP, High Voltage Controllers (HVC) is an exciting group looking to develop smart power controller products for cutting-edge high-voltage industrial and automotive applications and demonstrate the significant performance benefits of TI’s technologies.

GaN is a wide-bandgap semiconductor technology which offers the potential to revolutionize the power semiconductor market by enabling significantly higher power density than existing silicon-based alternatives. Also within HVP, the GaN team is fighting in a new & fast-growing market against established competitors & emerging start-ups to be the #1 GaN power supplier.

This is a new investment area for TI in India, and the candidate will get to be part of an exciting startup-like ecosystem, getting the experience of building a team and technical expertise under the safety of the wider TI umbrella.

What will you be doing in this role? (Responsibilities)

Be a key team member from product definition till release to market, working closely with all functions (e.g. systems, analog design, verification, test, applications).

Define or enhance the micro-architecture for digital blocks / top and designing them along with rest of the team.

RTL development and verification (RTL and Gate level).

Collaborate with Systems engineers, analog designers on mixed-signal and DSP blocks and interfaces.

Work closely with verification team to build the full-chip verification plan, tests. Support functional debugs and RCAs.

Support silicon validation activities, test program development and the customer engagement and silicon / application debug needs.

Drive architectural optimization for area, power and performance improvements for a given node.

Address performance bottlenecks through micro-architecture.

Experience in managing small teams
