SoC Hardware Architect

Business Line Description:

• NXPs MPU Engineering (ACE) team is a central engineering organization responsible for developing and delivering Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) for NXPs Automotive Edge and Radar Processing business lines. MMEs SoC Hardware Architecture team produces architectural solutions covering the very wide-range of SoCs required by the business lines. The team is challenged to produce industry-leading solutions covering very cost-sensitive low power devices to highly-integrated high performance multi-domain devices compliant with the latest automotive and industrial safety and security standards.

Job Summary:

• Experience in architecting complex SoCs in leading-edge process nodes involving multiple processors coherent/non-coherent interconnects memory controllers Ethernet interfaces high bandwidth accelerators high speed connectivity peripherals like PCIe etc

• Work with cross-functional architecture teams to develop holistic system-level SoC platform architectures targeting a specific product class or developing a specific technology solution which is scalable across a wide-range of product types and tiers.

• Deliver architecture specifications which include detailed system-level use-case definitions hardware/software partitioning alignment with existing industry standards and relevant key performance indicators (KPIs).

• Collaborate with design and execution teams throughout the entire product development cycle to ensure your solution is successfully deployed in commercial product.

• Developing specifications for both internal and 3rd-party IP participating in make v. buy analysis and selecting the right IP.

Key Challenges:

• Experience in designing or architecting complex SoCs in leading-edge process nodes with multiple independent compute environments.

• Exposure to ISO26262-compliant and mixed-criticality architectures.

• Deep knowledge of ARM architecture specifications.

• Expertise in one or more the following technical areas: coherent and non-coherent interconnect DDR memories interconnect/system memory QoS power & operating state management PCIe USB networking debug boot virtualization machine-learning compute or multimedia & pixel processing.

• Ability to work at the system-level identifying optimal partitioning of solutions between hardware and software working closely with software architects.

• Track record of assessing performance power and area tradeoffs and determining the correct balance for a given product type.

• Experience in defining IP components to solve system issues.

Job Qualifications:

• Bachelors in Electrical Engineering or other similar discipline with at least 15 years of relevant experience.

• Masters degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or Computer Science with 10 or more years of experience preferred.
