Business Line Description:
- NXP's MPU Engineering (ACE) team is a central engineering organization responsible for developing and delivering Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) for NXP's Automotive, Edge, and Radar Processing business lines. MME's SoC Hardware Architecture team produces architectural 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-domain devices compliant with the latest automotive and industrial safety and security standards.
Job Summary:
- Experience in architecting complex SoCs in leading-edge process nodes involving multiple processors, coherent/non-coherent interconnects, memory controllers, Ethernet interfaces, high bandwidth accelerators, high speed connectivity peripherals like PCIe etc
- Work with cross-functional architecture teams to develop holistic system-level SoC platform architectures targeting a specific product class or developing a specific technology solution which is scalable across a wide-range of product types and tiers.
- Deliver architecture specifications which include detailed system-level use-case definitions, hardware/software partitioning, alignment with existing industry standards, and relevant key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Collaborate with design and execution teams throughout the entire product development cycle to ensure your solution is successfully deployed in commercial product.
- Developing specifications for both internal and 3rd-party IP, participating in make v. buy analysis, and selecting the right IP.
Key Challenges:
- Experience in designing or architecting complex SoCs in leading-edge process nodes with multiple independent compute environments.
- Exposure to ISO26262-compliant and mixed-criticality architectures.
- Deep knowledge of ARM architecture specifications.
- Expertise in one or more the following technical areas:
