About the Job

Requirements

  • Be in the final year of an electronics engineering school.
  • Have a good understanding of analog and radio-frequency design, receiver architectures, and MOS technology.
  • Have knowledge of Cadence, Virtuoso, and Maestro.
  • Be fluent in spoken and written English.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze existing communication architectures and identify their main limitations at multi-gigabit-per-second data rates.
  • Study innovative receiver architectures offering improved sensitivity, robustness, and energy efficiency.
  • Develop behavioral or system-level models to evaluate proposed concepts.
  • Translate the selected architecture into circuit-level specifications.
  • Design the selected circuit architecture at schematic level and evaluate its performance through transistor-level simulations using industry-standard integrated-circuit design tools.
  • Compare the proposed solution with relevant baseline architectures.
  • Document results and provide recommendations for further research and potential silicon implementation.
  • Produce system-level modeling and a circuit-level feasibility assessment.
  • Implement schematics and run transistor-level simulations for selected key circuit blocks.
  • Compare performance against reference architectures or defined design targets.
  • Prepare a technical report and design documentation, and provide recommendations for future development.

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.
