The AMSCC-ARF team is part of NXP’s Central Technology Organization's Analog Mixed Signal Competence Center (CTO-AMSCC). AMSCC-ARF employs about 120+ specialists located in Eindhoven, Bangalore, Delft, Kista and Noida with strong focus and competence in developing state-of-the-art Data Converter, Reference, Power Management, RF and mm-Wave IPs that support all NXP Business Lines. AMSCC-ARF team specializes in architecting, designing, and delivering analog and mixed-signal building blocks that are at the heart of competitive NXP products.
Continuing on it’s growth trajectory, fueled by decades of success stories and execution excellence, AMSIP is expanding into developing High Speed Serial Link (HSL) PHYs to support ever growing need of SERDES PHYs by NXP’s Automotive and non-Automotive product lines.
As the HSL Design engineer you will be responsible for performing design feasibility of Tx/Rx/Clocking sub-systems in close coordination with Design Leads and hands-on execution of designs to meet performance, quality and cost targets within the agreed timelines while keeping all stake holders well informed on the progress, challenges, issues and risks.
Responsibilities Include
Working with the design team in defining and completing feasibility analysis of the respective sub-system Tx/Rx/Clocking
End to end ownership of design execution and verification using appropriate views and tools
Documentation of design and presenting reviews to peers and internal customers
Provide innovative technical solutions to address design challenges leading to continuous improvement of various design blocks and sub-systems
Hands-on lab characterization/validation, yield improvement and optimization
