NXP Semiconductors Looking for Principal Design Engineer – RTL at Bengaluru Full Time

Business Line Description:

NXP’s MCU/MPU Engineering (MME) team is a central engineering organization responsible for developing and delivering Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) for NXP’s Automotive, Edge, Radar Processing and Advanced Analog business lines.

MME’s SoC Front End team produces design solutions covering the very wide range of SoCs required by the business lines. The team is challenged to produce industry-leading solutions covering very cost-sensitive, low-power devices to highly integrated, high-performance, multi-cohort devices compliant with the latest automotive and industrial safety and security standards.

Scope of Responsibilities/Expectations

– Leading design, micro-architecture and integration of the System on Chip (SOC)

from initial specification till tape out and beyond
– Drive and implement best SoC design methodology/practices and scale it across different business lines.
– Signing off RTL, timing constraints, CDC, RDC and work with different functions like verification, DFT, synthesis, etc. to get to a production quality Silicon.
– Documenting the SOC design and micro-architecture for usage by other SOC functions
– Provide design support for any silicon related debugs of chips in post-silicon phase.

Specific Knowledge/Skills

– Senior SoC Architects, ASIC designers and Design Leads with experiences in all aspects of RTL design flow from Specification/Micro-architecture definition to design and verification, Timing Analysis, DFT and Implementation.
– Experience: 12-16 Years in IP/SOC design with successful delivery of production quality chips
– Good knowledge of Digital Design and hands-on experience with Verilog RTL coding
– Should have a firm understanding and hands-on experience on Chip Assembly, IP Integration,

RTL signoff tools and CDC/RDC/Lint/Synthesis.
– Familiarity with Computer architecture: knowledge of microprocessors (ARM, RISC-V), bus protocols preferred (AXI/ACE/APB/ATB). Knowledge on CPU architecture, coherency protocols, Virtualization, Core-sight and peripherals like PCIe, USB, DDRs is highly desirable.
– Strong domain knowledge of Clocking, Reset, System modes, Power management, debug, interconnect, safety, security and other architectures Know-how of Serial Interfaces, Multimedia, External Bus Interfaces, ISO26262 based functional safety relevant microprocessor architectures is preferred.
– Self-motivated to drive issues to closure. Should be a team player and willing to work with cross functional teams on issues resolution.
– Excellent written and verbal communication skill.

– Creative problem-solving skills, logic analysis skills, ability to logically break complex problems down to manageable components.

Job Qualifications:

– BTech/MTech/Ph.D. in Electrical/Computer Engineering or other similar disciplines with at least 12+ years of relevant experience.
