Job Description
Ready to join the NextGen Radar Innovations at NXP
Become part of a highly innovative and skilled R&D innovation team developing advanced algorithmic software hardware and system level solutions for future automotive radars. Be part of a growing team collaborating with team members across United States and Europe to produce pioneering technologies for solving the most challenging problems faced by our global automotive radar tierone and car OEM customers and the emerging autonomous vehicle industry.
Job Summary:
In this role you will be collaborating with your team leader and fellow team members to develop differentiating algorithms running on automotive radar processors. You will demonstrate excellent understanding of the nature of the problems given and are able to frame engineering problems as mathematical models in novel ways develop efficient and effective strategies to solve them leveraging sound analytical and theoretical derivation processes or datadriven approaches and validate them in simulated and/or real environment. You will then take identified solutions work with broader product teams to benchmark the performance and throughput and specify the requirements for implementing highpotential algorithmic solutions in the form of embedded software or in the form of a dedicated hardware running on existing or future NXP radar processors.
Key Challenges:
Success in this role means that you are:
Well versed in Automotive Radar knowledge space including use cases problem domains functional requirements system analog/digital hardware and software architecture signal processing challenges and solutions and the general algorithm space.
Comfortable in identifying highvalue open challenges and develop differentiating novel and practical algorithmic solutions in the areas such as highresolution array angle estimation problem MIMO waveform multiplexing/demultiplexing algorithms radaronradar interference mitigation object detection and classification scene understanding semantic and instance segmentation as well as NN model optimization etc.
Fluent in developing working functional and testable prototypes using suitable modeling languages such as Matlab Python C/C and Machine Learning framework such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
A proficient algorithm architect who can fluently convert mathematical algorithms and models into abstract design requirements suitable for being implemented as an embedded software module or as an application specific hardware accelerator
An effective communicator and thinker who elaborates very well the key problems and solutions to and with peers stakeholders collaborators management and customers; can bridge the knowledge gap between crossfunctional team members; and can comprehend and anticipate customer needs and prescribe appropriate actions and convincing solutions.
A proactive team player who always does own parts well steps up to the plate when a need is perceived do not let the buck pass without trying and is respected and appreciated by the teammates.
A proficient innovator who has a growing record in producing novel solutions pioneering research proposals peerreviewed publications and patents.
Cross functional aspects:
In this role you are expected to:
Work closely with senior technical leads in carrying out approved research plans and identified team visions and assist in the development of new plans and visions and be accountable to the team leads.
Support Software R&D team to properly handoff algorithms for performance and throughput benchmarking and software productization.
Support Digital IP team to map mathematical algorithms and Neural Net models to hardware and new accelerator IPs.
Support System Solution team to integrate modular algorithms with a full system stack.
