The IP for which this team is responsible enables a product portfolio with billion USD in annual revenue. Chances are that the car you drive, the intelligent devices that pervade your living space and the factories that produce the goods you use will contain one or more of the chips that you contribute to. The IP itself is challenging and of significant scope as it requires implementing very complicated and challenging algorithms in hardware/silicon. It incorporates latest Ethernet technology such as IEEE Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) that extends Ethernet for safety-critical and real-time applications.\nWe are part of Advanced Chip Engineering, a central design organization within NXP, developing products for multiple business lines in Automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), Networking, and Radio Frequency products, with expertise in hardware engineering, including architecture, IP, and full SoC Design.\nJob Summary:\nArchitect, design and implement breakthrough Ethernet/networking IP to be integrated into next-generation SoCs for automotive, industrial and edge computing markets.\nResponsible for micro-architecture, Verilog RTL implementation, logic synthesis and timing closure.\nPerform trade-off analysis on performance/area/complexity.\nEnsure front-end to back-end handoff IP quality checks such as Lint/CDC/Synthesis/STA/LEC and other.\nProvide technical support to our engineering IP team, including code reviews, and assist in project planning and tracking.\nWorking closely with IP design verification engineers on planning and execution, to ensure the IP is delivered on time and with highest quality.\nQuality documentation for all phases of the project; e.g. quality detailed IP functional and implementation specifications.\nProactively drive continuous improvement in design methodology.\nKey Challenges:\nThe IP itself is challenging and of significant scope as it requires implementing very complicated and challenging algorithms in hardware/silicon. It incorporates latest Ethernet technology such as IEEE Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) that extends Ethernet for safety-critical and real-time applications.\nIP requires a well-thought-out scalable micro-architecture and proper parameterization that enables to grow the area/power linearly as the performance, capacity and functionality required, need to be increased.\nIP developed in the team needs to be of high quality and implementation ready, requiring strong interactions with the SoC integration and implementation teams\nCross functional aspects:\nInteraction with architecture, software and marketing for IP definition and roadmap\nWork closely with SoC front-end integration and implementation, for IP execution.\nInteraction with the application engineering to resolve customer issues.\nJob Qualifications:\nSome experience in RTL design of complex digital IP is desireable but not required\nKnowledge in Verilog RTL design, logic synthesis, coverage analysis and timing closure\nUnderstanding of IP development methodology and proficiency in front-end design tools\nKnowledge of state-of-the-art networking technologies including TCP/IP protocols is desirable but not required\nExperience with data products such as routers, bridges and switches is desirable.\nSecurity/cryptography experience would be an asset\nStrong architecture and design skills are desirable but not required\nShould be familiar with hardware and software implementation trade-offs.\nAbility to solve system wide problems.\nAlgorithm development experience is desirable but not required\nMust work well in a team environment.\nStrong interpersonal, communication, and documentation skills.\nBachelors in Computer Science, Engineering or related education required\nJob location:\nOttawa, Canada\n-----------\nThe base salary range for this position is as mentioned below per year. We offer health, dental, vision, wellness, saving programs and RRSP. We also provide competitive benefits, incentive compensation, and/or equity for certain roles. Please note that the base salary range (OR hourly rate) is a guideline, and individual total compensation may vary based on a number of factors such as qualifications, skill level, work location, and other business and organizational needs. This base pay range is specific to Canada and is not applicable to other locations. A reasonable estimate of the base salary range as of the date of this posting is from $72,000 to $99,000 CAD per year.
