Descrizione del lavoro

NXP Semiconductors is expanding in Catania to build high-impact MCU SoCs with a focus on pre-silicon validation through emulation and FPGA prototyping. The role leads efforts to optimize infrastructure and enable hardware, software and validation teams to accelerate early software development and system validation.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years of hands-on emulation/FPGA prototyping, strong digital design fundamentals, and experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog and C/C++.

Competenze

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• 5+ years of hands-on emulation/FPGA prototyping.
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals.
• Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog and working knowledge of C/C++.
• Experience with FPGA tools such as Vivado, Quartus, Synplify, or similar.
• Familiarity with emulation platforms like Veloce, HAPS-100, Palladium or Zebu is important.
• Experience in working on ARM/RISC-V core architecture would be an advantage.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl).
• Good problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Mansioni

• Develop, bring-up and maintain pre-silicon Emulation/FPGA-based prototyping platforms.
• Integrate and debug RTL blocks on FPGA platforms.
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to bring up emulation environments.
• Optimize FPGA resource usage and timing closure for large-scale designs.
• Support software teams with early access to hardware through emulation/prototyping.
• Automate build and deployment flows using scripting languages.
• Document design flows, debug procedures, and provide training/support to internal teams.
• Develop and execute system use case scenarios.
• Define test strategy, create tests plan, and develop tests to address functional and performance requirements.
