Digital IP Design Engineer (f/m/d)

Business Line Description: Advanced Chip Engineering Digital IP team defines and develops components for a wide range of products, including automotive microprocessors, application processors, micro-controllers, and networking. The Munich Digital IP team develops interface components, DSP subsystems, next generation AI/ML core and RISCV IPs. Key Responsibilities: • Develop and implement digital IP and logic designs for complex Mixed-Signal System-on-Chips (SoCs), adhering to architectural specifications and performance requirements. • Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams, as well as architecture and system engineering teams, to understand IP functionality and system-level use cases to define features, interfaces and integrate digital blocks. • Develop high-quality, area-optimal, low-power RTL design using industry-standard hardware description languages (Verilog/SystemVerilog) • Complete design quality checks such as Lint, CDC/RDC, etc. using industry-standard tools. • Conduct IP-level design verification activities, including basic testbench development, simulation and debugging to ensure functional correctness. • Complete IP synthesis and basic timing analysis to meet timing, area and power targets. • Ensure IP design implementation is done according to design for testability (DFT) requirements. • Generate comprehensive design documentation and participate in design reviews. • Troubleshoot and resolve design issues throughout the development lifecycle. • Stay updated with the latest industry trends, tools, and methodologies in digital design. Qualification: • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. • Minimum 10 years of experience in IP or subsystem design. • Solid understanding of microprocessor architecture, interconnects, and cache coherency mechanisms. • Hands-on experience with CPU design (proprietary cores, RISC-V, or AI/ML accelerators). • Experience in using AI-based tools to enhance development and design efficiency. • Experience with AMBA protocols (AHB, AXI, ACE, CHI) and memory systems (ROM, RAM, Flash, DDR/LPDDR). • Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and C/C++. • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, TCL, or Shell. • Experience in debugging designs in both pre-silicon (simulation/emulation/FPGA) and post-silicon environments. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. • Basic conversational German is a plus. Please note: The successful candidate may/will be responsible for security related tasks. The assignment may/will be in scope of security certifications, therefore a conscious and reliable way of working is necessary More information about NXP in Germany... #LI-3da9
