In this role, you will work closely with the DSP Architect to implement and optimize DSP algorithms and architecture for next-generation automotive-grade Ethernet PHY products. The role requires strong collaboration with System Architecture, DFT, Verification, Validation, IC Integration, and Backend (BE) teams.\nYou will be responsible for DSP design implementation, RTL-level integration, performance validation, and supporting timing closure to ensure high-quality, production-ready silicon.\nKey Responsibilities\nDSP Architecture Implementation\nImplement DSP algorithms and architecture under guidance of the DSP Architect for Automotive Ethernet PHY (e.g., 100/1000BASE-T1 and multi-gig PHYs).\nTranslate system-level specifications into optimized DSP RTL design.\nParticipate in algorithm-to-architecture mapping, fixed-point modeling, and performance tuning.\nDesign & RTL Development\nDevelop synthesizable RTL for DSP datapaths, filters, equalizers, echo cancellation, FFE/DFE, AGC, timing recovery, etc.\nPerform design optimization for area, timing, and power.\nCreate and maintain design documentation, micro-architecture specs, and implementation notes.\nVerification & Validation Support\nWork closely with the Verification team for test plan development, debug, and coverage closure.\nSupport Validation team during post-silicon bring-up, debug, and performance tuning.\nContribute to model correlation between MATLAB/C-model and RTL.\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nCollaborate with System Architects to refine requirements and improve DSP behavior at system level.\nWork with DFT Architects to ensure testability and seamless integration of DFT structures.\nPartner with IC integrators to define top-level constraints and support SoC integration.\nSupport Backend (BE) teams for timing analysis, timing closure, and physical design iterations.\nPerformance, Tools & Flow\nDevelop and maintain MATLAB/Python models for algorithm validation.\nRun simulations, analyze performance metrics, and support model-to-RTL equivalence.\nContribute to tool flow improvements across DSP modeling, RTL implementation, and validation.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, or related field.\n7+ years of experience in DSP design for communication systems.\nStrong fundamentals in digital signal processing, communication theory, and PHY layer technologies.\nHands-on experience with PHY subsystems such as filtering, equalization, echo cancellation, PLLs, timing recovery, and noise mitigation.\nProficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or C/C++ for algorithm modeling.\nStrong RTL design skills (Verilog/SystemVerilog).\nFamiliarity with synthesis, linting, CDC, and STA flows.\nExperience supporting verification and post-silicon debug.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in Automotive Ethernet PHY (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, or multi-gig).\nUnderstanding of EMC/EMI challenges and automotive-grade requirements.\nKnowledge of DFT, ATPG, and scan architectures.\nExposure to backend flows, timing constraints, and timing closure methodologies.\nFamiliarity with formal verification and UVM-based environments.\nSoft Skills\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills.\nExcellent communication and documentation ability.\nAbility to work effectively in cross-functional, global teams.\nProactive mindset with the ability to drive tasks to closure.\n More information about NXP in
