Digital IC Design & Verification Engineer

NXP Semiconductors; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 107,000 - 131,000; Full time

Job summary

NXP Semiconductors N.V. in Austin seeks a semiconductor engineer to design, develop and test IP for firm products and devices in collaboration with product development for the electronic communications industry.

You will review IP microarchitecture with senior engineers, modify IP for CDC/DFT, perform LEC, STA, RDC checks, and use IP release tools to document IP correctness. You will collaborate with verification to reach high coverage and track development metrics.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Computer Engineering (with related variants such as VLSI or Physics) or foreign equivalent.
• Experience in RTL-to-RTL logic equivalency checks (LEC) and IP release tools documentation.
• Ability to review IP microarchitecture features with engineers and develop test plans with verification.

Responsibilities

• Perform semiconductor engineering design, development, and testing for firm products and devices in conjunction with product development for the electronic communications industry.
• Review IP microarchitecture features and interface specifications with microarchitect and/or senior engineers.
• Modify IP to replace coded hardware structures with standardized structures for clock-domain crossing (CDC), design-for-test (DFT), clocks and resets.
• Execute RTL-to-RTL logic equivalency checks (LEC) and perform design quality checks, including Lint, clock domain crossing (CDC) analysis, static timing analysis (STA). Reset domain crossing (RDC), and run NXP specific IP release tools to document correctness of IP release.
• Collaborate with verification team to develop test plans and complete verification execution to 100% coverage, and in developing improved methods of verification.
• Track metrics during IP development, include development plan milestones, code and functional coverage, defect tickets.
• Deliver completed IP, including RTL design and quality signoff evidence.
