About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bac+5 qualification, final year of engineering school, or Master II in microelectronics is required.
  • A Master's degree in Electronics, Microelectronics, Embedded Systems, or a related field is required.
  • Knowledge of the circuit design process, digital design, and semiconductor technologies is required.
  • Experience with Python programming and artificial-intelligence-driven development is required.
  • A good level of English is required.

Responsibilities

  • Study the relationship between energy consumption, test quality, and silicon performance for next-generation semiconductor products.
  • Learn and apply Design-for-Test methodologies, including scan insertion, scan compression, automatic test pattern generation, JTAG, built-in self-test, fault simulation, and test coverage optimization.
  • Use simulation and hardware emulation platforms to execute, debug, and analyze DFT test scenarios.
  • Investigate test-mode power consumption, power-aware testing techniques, and power-related metrics from physical implementation through silicon characterization.
  • Analyze test coverage, fault models, and silicon-yield indicators.
  • Analyze datasets generated by simulations, emulation platforms, production testing, and post-silicon characterization.
  • Apply artificial-intelligence techniques to identify patterns, detect anomalies, and improve engineering analysis.
  • Develop automation solutions using Python and data-analysis frameworks to improve productivity and reporting efficiency.
  • Collaborate with chip design, DFT, physical design, and silicon-validation engineers.
  • Present technical results and recommendations to engineering teams and project stakeholders.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of test activities and scan techniques is a plus.
  • Curiosity about semiconductor technologies, test methodologies, and data analysis is desirable.

About the Company

NXP Semiconductors

Automotive semiconductors and secure embedded solutions

NXP Semiconductors designs and sells semiconductor chips for vehicles and other devices. Its products include automotive-grade microcontrollers and other ICs used in engines, infotainment, safety systems, and networked car architectures. These chips process data, run software, and enable features such as advanced driver assistance and vehicle connectivity, often with strong security and real-time performance. Unlike some peers, NXP became an independent company after Philips spun off its semiconductor unit in 2006 and later merged with Freescale in 2015, building a focused strength in automotive semiconductors and microcontrollers. This gives it a clear niche in the market and the goal of growing as a standalone leader in smarter, connected vehicles and related technologies.
