About the Job

Requirements

  • Final-year Master's degree or engineering-school qualification equivalent to Bac+5 in microelectronics, digital electronics, integrated circuit design, embedded systems, or computer engineering.
  • Knowledge of RTL digital design.
  • Knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL.
  • Knowledge of software development and scripting, ideally Python and/or Perl.
  • Knowledge of the Linux environment.
  • A good command of English for work in a multi-site international environment.

Responsibilities

  • Study RTL integration challenges in ASIC and FPGA environments.
  • Become familiar with the Artificial Intelligence platform.
  • Analyze the current IP integration and verification flows used within the team.
  • Identify major pain points and recurring integration issues.
  • Extract RTL parameters and generics and identify default values and associated constraints.
  • Automatically recognize standard protocols and buses such as AXI, APB, and AHB, and identify control, data, and handshake signals.
  • Analyze reset, enable, and interrupt signals and detect active-high or active-low inconsistencies.
  • Verify clock and reset connectivity, detect port-mapping issues, identify unused or floating signals, and detect interface-compatibility and bus-width mismatches.
  • Develop a prototype integration-assistance tool as a script, graphical interface, or plugin.
  • Integrate AI analysis capabilities into an existing RTL design and verification flow.
  • Automatically generate analysis reports for design teams.
  • Validate the solution using a representative set of real IPs.
  • Compare results against traditional manual integration methods.
  • Evaluate improvements in productivity, quality, and error detection.
  • Document conclusions and provide recommendations for potential industrial deployment.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of hardware communication protocols such as AXI, APB, and AHB.
  • Knowledge of ASIC/FPGA simulation and synthesis tools.
  • Knowledge of Artificial Intelligence applied to engineering and design automation.

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.
