NXP is building new teams in Catania to create high impact microcontrollers (MCU) as part of NXPs intelligent AI at the Edge. This team will include a wide range of engineering talent from analog to SOC digital design. Full product development local willproductworld class products at a world class pace.
This team will include all key engineering disciplines in Design Architecture VerificationDfTand Physical Design to produce high performance and quality products.
We are nowhiring a SoC Physical design leader responsible for the physical design implementation of complex high-performance integrated circuits from RTL to candidatewill drive advanced methodologies mentorand developjunior engineers and contribute significantly to the successful tape-out ofcutting-edgeMCU SoC designs.
Your Responsibility:
Leadprojects andexecute the full physical design flow for complex digital blocks and top-level SoCs including floorplanning power planning synthesis place and route clock tree synthesis static timing analysis (STA) formal verification and physical verification (DRC/LVS).
Develop optimize and implement advanced physical design methodologies and flows to achieve aggressive performance power and area/costtargets.
Perform critical path analysis identify timing bottlenecks and implement effective solutions to meet timing closure on challenging designs operating at high frequencies.
Work closely with front-end design architectural and DFT teams to ensure design intent is preserved and to proactively resolve integration issues.
Drive power integrity (IR/EM) analysis and solutions ensuring robust power delivery networks.
Conduct comprehensive physical verification checks (DRC LVS DFM) and resolve all issues efficiently.
Evaluate and recommend new EDA tools technologies and methodologies to enhance productivity and design quality.
Mentor and guide junior and mid-level physical design engineers providing technical leadership and fostering a collaborative team environment.
Generate detailed technical documentation reports and presentations for design reviews and project milestones.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of design processes and best practices within the physical design team
