Texas Instruments

Some engineers build circuits. Others
architect the systems
those circuits live inside. At
Texas Instruments
, we're looking for the rare mind that can hold the entire blueprint in their head — from market requirement to silicon reality — and make every design decision
matter
. If that sounds like you, your next chapter starts here.
📌 About the Role
Texas Instruments is seeking a
Senior SoC System Architect
to join our semiconductor R&amp;D organization — one of the most technically demanding and rewarding environments in the global chip industry.
As an Architect at TI, you won't just review designs — you'll
define them
. You'll establish the high-level frameworks, system-level specifications, and design methodologies that shape how digital electronic devices and integrated circuits come to life. From the earliest concept stage through mass production, your architectural decisions will leave a fingerprint on products shipped to industries worldwide.
You'll collaborate with designers, system engineers, and cross-functional R&amp;D teams — translating
market requirements and product visions
into concrete, implementable architectural solutions. If you thrive at the intersection of hardware, software, strategy, and silicon — this is your role.
🛠️ Key Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Define
high-level architectural frameworks
and system-level specifications for digital devices and ICs</li>
<li>Develop
system partitioning strategies
and interface specifications that guide the full product development lifecycle</li>
<li>Conduct rigorous
architectural trade-off analyses
balancing performance, power, area, and cost (PPAC)</li>
<li>Perform
system-level modeling and simulation
using estimation tools (simulators, Python, MATLAB, spreadsheets)</li>
<li>Translate
market-level requirements
into hardware and/or software features with clear cost, power, security, and safety implications</li>
<li>Evaluate end-to-end solutions and derive actionable system requirements from high-level inputs</li>
<li>Perform
"what-if" analyses
to ensure IP/SoC definitions capture every opportunity and stay ahead of the curve</li>
<li>Collaborate cross-functionally with design, verification, software, and manufacturing teams to ensure architectural intent is realized</li>
</ul>
✅ Required Skills
<ul>
<li>5+ years
of relevant experience in
system architecture or digital design</li>
<li>Deep expertise in
ARM Cortex processor architectures
and embedded system design</li>
<li>Thorough knowledge of
SoC architecture
and subsystem integration methodologies</li>
<li>Solid foundation in
digital design principles
and
hardware/software interface design</li>
<li>Strong analytical thinking with the ability to make sound judgments from
early or partial data</li>
<li>Proficiency with architecture and estimation tools:
simulators, Python, MATLAB, XML, waveform tools</li>
<li>Self-directed with strong
problem-solving skills
for complex, multi-disciplinary system challenges</li>
</ul>
🌟 Preferred Qualifications
<ul>
<li>Proven track record of translating
system requirements into implementable architectural specs</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with
ARM Cortex-M families
and their broader ecosystem</li>
<li>Demonstrated expertise in
architecture trade-off analysis
across real product programs</li>
<li>Experience assessing high-level market requirements for
cost, power, security, and functional safety</li>
<li>Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — comfortable working across design, software, product, and business teams</li>
<li>Agility to
adapt quickly
to evolving requirements in a fast-paced semiconductor environment</li>
<li>Excellent
verbal and written communication skills
— able to articulate complex architecture decisions clearly</li>
</ul>
