About the Job

Requirements

  • Final-year engineering student in electronics or Master's-level education.
  • Knowledge of digital architecture and RTL design.
  • Familiarity with embedded communication protocols such as APB, AHB, AXI, or equivalent bus architectures.
  • Interest in functional verification and formal verification methodologies.
  • A good level of English is required.

Responsibilities

  • Study and evaluate SoC interconnect architectures, including shared buses, crossbars, Network-on-Chip solutions, and arbitration mechanisms.
  • Analyze the performance requirements of different interconnect solutions, including latency, bandwidth, scalability, and resource utilization.
  • Investigate infrastructure building blocks such as memory arbiters, address routers, protocol bridges, internal APB/AHB components, and multi-master interconnect elements.
  • Develop reference models and verification components using SystemVerilog and UVM.
  • Implement verification environments to validate the functionality of the studied architectures.
  • Define and develop test scenarios targeting memory contention, Quality of Service, access scheduling, and corner-case conditions.
  • Apply formal verification techniques to prove critical properties of the developed architectures.
  • Analyze simulation results and functional coverage metrics, and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Contribute to the definition and evaluation of next-generation interconnect architectures for automotive SoCs.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with SystemVerilog and/or UVM.

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.
