About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience in standard-cell circuit design, characterization, and/or layout design for various standard cells and macros, including flip-flops, latches, multibit flip-flops, level shifters, power switch cells, retention flops, and synchronizer cells, in planar and non-planar technology nodes.
  • At least 7–9 years of experience in the standard-cell domain.
  • Literacy in artificial intelligence and machine learning and agentic artificial intelligence.
  • An overview and good understanding of circuit and Monte Carlo simulations, layout-dependent effects, and the overall RTL-to-GDS flow, including static timing analysis and place-and-route.
  • Good understanding of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor and FinFET technologies.
  • Good understanding and expertise in using state-of-the-art electronic design automation tools from Siemens, Cadence, and Synopsys for simulations, characterization, and layout development.

Responsibilities

  • Perform characterization, layout design, and electronic design automation development for standard cells.
  • Contribute to improving and developing circuit design and standard-cell library characterization.
  • Implement innovative solutions within the standard-cell library development domain.
  • Develop electronic design automation views, including characterization of NLDM, CCSP, CCSN, AOCV, and LVF for standard-cell libraries.

Desired Qualifications

  • Exposure to AOCV and LVF model characterization.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and/or Tableau.
  • Working knowledge of SKILL, Python, Tcl, and/or Perl scripting.

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.
