Role Summary

We are seeking a Technical Director with expertise in Digital IP Design and Verification. This role requires hands-on experience and ramp up in understanding many of the legacy digital IP’s used across the NXP portfolio of products. The Technical Director must have a strong foundation in Verilog/System Verilog Design and must have experience building IP’s such as AHB/AXI Bus Bridges, Boot/Clock/Reset Management, Peripheral controllers such as NoR Flash/PSRAM Controllers, NAND Flash Controllers, eMMC/SD Controllers, and must have experience working with ARM M Class cores.

YourResponsibilities.

• Ramp up on the various digital IP’s used across the NXP MCU/MPU portfolio of products. The Technical Director is expected to be hands-on and get familiar with the design and verification environment and will support the Change Requests across the legacy IP’s.

• Collaborate with other IP Team members, global SoC, Systems, and Software teams to ensure that IP’s are being designed and verified to meet the requirements for the products.

• Provide debug and support for issues across SoC’s in both pre-silicon and post silicon phase.  

• Will lead the IP Architecture Specification for NOR/PSRAM/NAND Flash controllers and help with design, development, and verification. Modeling and development of ECC algorithms such as BCH, Reed-Solomon, and LDPC are highly desirable.

• Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities, identifying and resolving issues to ensure product quality.

• Provide technical guidance and contribute to continuous improvement of design processes and methodologies.

• Generates detailed design documentation including specifications and programming guides that can be used by the SW teams.

• Stay abreast of industry trends across the various peripherals(NOR, NAND, UFS, NVMe, etc.)

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Proven experience building digital IP’s and supporting them across multiple generations of SoC’s including post silicon support, SW support, and debug.

• Strong understanding of AHB and AXI bus protocols, microprocessor architecture, firmware development, NOR Flash, NAND Flash, ECC (BCH, Reed-Solomon, etc.)

• Good understanding of Low Power Design Techniques

Desired Qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.

• Minimum of 20 years of experience in digital IC design, with a strong portfolio of successfully completed projects.

• Expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL design and verification.

• Experience with industry-standard EDA tools for Verification, synthesis, STA

• Strong understanding of digital design principles, experience building bus protocols(AHB, AXI), NOR Flash/PSRAM Controllers, NAND Flash Controllers and ECC expertise, peripheral devices such as USB, eMMC/SD Controllers,

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

• Ability to take initiative, work independently, and lead technical discussions.
