Senior Lead Design Engineer

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 SOC debug , 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 debug design support for any silicon related debugs of chips in post-silicon phase.

Specific Knowledge/Skills

• ASIC designers with experiences in all aspects of RTL design flow fromSpecification/Micro-architecturedefinition to design.
• Experience with Arm Cortex-M/A/R processor-based SoC debug infrastructure handling
• ARM CoreSight, ETM, STM, DAP, CTI, JTAG, SWD, Trace32, ARM Debug, ARM Trace integration exposure
• Experience: 5-10Years in IP/SOC design with successful delivery of production quality chips

• Good knowledge of Digital Design and hands-on experience with Verilog RTL coding/integration of debug logic
• 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, Core-sight and peripherals like PCIe, USB, DDRs is highly desirable.
• Strong domain knowledge of Clocking, Reset, System modes, debug, interconnect, safety, security and other architectures Know-how of Serial Interfaces, Multimedia, External Bus Interfaces
• 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.
