Business Line Description

• Be an integral member of a highly-experienced team in R&D that is responsible for developing IP (Intellectual Property) used in the design of advanced microcontrollers and microprocessors.  The IP for which this team is responsible enables a product portfolio with billion USD in annual revenue.  Chances are that the car you drive, the intelligent devices that pervade your living space and the factories that produce the goods you use will contain one or more of the chips that you contribute to.
• 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.

Job Summary:

• Architect, design, implement and verify breakthrough Ethernet/networking IP to be integrated into next-generation SoCs for automotive, industrial and edge computing markets.
• Responsible for architecture, design and implementation of C/C++ software that enables functional and performance use cases.
• Perform thorough trade-off analysis on performance/complexity.
• Provide technical leadership, including code reviews, and assist in project planning and tracking.
• Working closely with IP design and verification teams on planning and execution, to insure the IP is delivered on time and with highest quality.
• Quality documentation for all phases of the project; e.g. quality detailed IP functional and implementation specifications.
• Proactively drive continuous improvement in design and verification methodology.

Key Challenges:

• The IP itself is challenging and of significant scope as it requires implementing very complicated and challenging algorithms in hardware/silicon. It incorporates latest Ethernet technology such as IEEE Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) that extends Ethernet for safety-critical and real-time applications.
• The software based use-cases require a well-thought-out scalable architecture and proper parameterization that enables to scale the code as IP functionality is added.
• Software developed in the team needs to be of high quality and portable to multiple platforms, requiring strong interactions with the SoC verification teams.

Cross functional aspects:

• Interaction with architecture, software and verification for use-case definition
• Work closely with SoC software and SoC integration and verification team.
• Interaction with the application engineering to resolve customer issues.

Job Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in software design.
• Thorough knowledge and expertise in C/C++ design and implementation
• Deep understanding of software development methodology and proficiency in vsoftware development tools
• Good knowledge of state-of-the-art networking technologies including TCP/IP protocols is required.
• Experience with data products such as routers, bridges and switches is desirable.
• Security/cryptography experience would be an asset.
• Very strong architecture and design skills are required.
• Must be familiar with hardware and software implementation trade-offs.
• Ability to solve system wide problems.
• Algorithm development experience.
• Must work well in a team environment.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and documentation skills.
• Bachelors in Computer Science, Engineering or related education required.
