Sr. Principal Engineer - Bengaluru, India - NXP Semiconductors

Description

We are part of MCU/MPU Engineering, a central design organization within NXP, developing products for multiple business lines in Automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), Networking, and Radio Frequency products, with expertise in hardware engineering, including architecture, IP, and full SoC Design.

MME's Digital IP 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.

Role Summary:

• Leading design, micro-architecture and integration of IP.
• Drive and implement best IP design methodology/practices.
• Responsible for RTL, synthesis, timing constraints, CDC, RDC and work with different functions like verification, DFT etc. to get to a production ready IP.
• Documenting the IP design and micro-architecture for usage by other functions
• Provide design support for any silicon related debugs of chips in post-silicon phase.

Job Qualification:

• SEE required, MSEE preferred with 12+ years of industry related experience.
• Experience in all aspects of RTL design flow from Specification/Micro-architecture definition to design and verification, Timing Analysis, DFT and Implementation.
• Proficient in digital design and hands-on experience with Verilog/System Verilog RTL coding
• 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, 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.
• Experience leading design teams; self-motivated to drive issues to closure; ability to work with cross functional teams on issues resolution.
• Creative problem-solving skills, logic analysis skills, ability to logically break complex problems down to manageable components.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skill.
