About the role
NXP's SoC Design functions and global systems experts develop complex IP, subsystems and full system-level designs for automotive self-driving vehicle platforms, covering ADAS vision and radar, in-vehicle networks, gateway systems and ASIL-D fail-safe subsystems. This individual-contributor role architects and designs complex IPs and subsystems end to end, from high-level specification through design implementation using advanced design flow methodologies, working closely with global and local experts to solve design and architectural challenges.
What you will do
- Architect and Design complex IP and Subsystems across a range of protocols required for Automotive Self Driving Vehicles (ADAS) both Vision and Radar, In-Vehicle networks, Gateway Systems, Fail Safe Subsystems (ASIL-D) etc.
- Own and Lead IP / Subsystem from Concept till IP Design and Development achieving final design performance in integrated system within aggressive, market driven schedules.
- Ensure quality adherence during all stages of the IP development cycle and carry out a thorough analysis of existing processes, recommend and implement the process improvements to ensure 'Zero Defect' designs.
- Ability to work well as part of a team of global and local experts to influence and build technological innovations.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Self starter with 7-13 years of experience to Architect and Design complex IP design / Sub-system with minimal supervision.
- Custom Processor Designs with key DSP functions like those needed for Vision and Radar processing.
- Experience in High Speed Serial protocols and associated high speed challenges on controller and PHY for PCIe, USB & MIPI CSI / DSI.
- Understanding of key External Memory interface protocols including DDR4 / LPDDR4, QuadSPI Flash interfaces.
- Experience in microcontroller architecture, Cache, protocols like AHB/AMBA AXI.
- Experience in automotive protocols like LIN, CAN, Flexray – would be advantageous.
- Extensive hands on knowledge of HDLs (Verilog/VHDL), Scripting languages (Perl, Tcl), C/C++ for hardware modeling.
- Understanding of end to end IP development flow including complex CDC, RDC constructs, IP Synthesis, DFT ATPG coverage.
- Work on Testbench and Testplan development closely with the verification team. Addressing of Testability aspects of the IP / Subsystem along with functional requirements would be an advantage.
- Hands on work on pre silicon validation using FPGA/Emulation Board would be a significant added advantage.
