NXP’s Industrial & IoT Edge solutions range from the smallest MCUs to very high-performance processors to provide real-time insights and efficient automation when performance matters most. NXP’s advanced portfolio of edge processing solutions lets developers explore their most innovative ideas with confidence, enabling applications across the autonomous home, industrial automation, and personal electronics NXP is building new teams in Catania to create high impact microcontrollers (MCU) as part of NXP’s intelligent AI at the Edge. This team will include a wide range of engineering talent from analog to SOC digital design. Full product development local will product world class products at a world class pace. This team will include all key engineering disciplines in Design, Architecture, Verification, DfT and Physical Design to produce high performance and quality products. We are now hiring for Analog Design Leaders to join our team. Role Summary: Define SoC analog architecture and IP requirements starting from system level specifications. Drive circuit architectures definition and best-in-class design implementation capable of meeting R&D targets in terms of innovation, performance and reliability. Create and ensure robust and high-quality IP from requirements. Project leading and manager of the analog team assigned to the project. Ownership for the implementation, simulation, layout, and validation of mixed signal IP for microcontrollers (MCUs). This IP could be data converters (ADC, DAC), clock generators (crystal oscillators, free running oscillators, PLL) or any other miscellaneous analog or mixed signal IP that adds value to NXP MCUs products, in line with R&D design methodology. Local or remote co-working with the other project leader during SOC design execution. Provide technical documentation required for design reviews, SOC integration, industrialization and reliability. Your Responsibility: Define SOC analog architecture and IP-level specifications related to microcontroller products (MCU) new design with the target of quality and industrialization. Verify expected performances are met using simulation (behavioral, transistor level or combinations) and they are matching silicon performances. Drive analog team during new SOC development and alignment with R&D global design methodology. Co-operation with SOC teams on quality integration of the analog IP/modules within new SOC products. Provide documentation of the design, design reviews, and integration requirements of IP and sub-systems. Guarantee post tape-out support – characterization, production test, life testing, debug. Your Profile: Bachelor's degree in electronic/electrical engineering required, Master’s degree is preferred. 15 years of product development with IC-design Company experience. Experience with one or more of these IP areas: ADC, DAC, PLL, oscillators, Voltage and current references, LDO, DC-DC, PGA, amplifiers, filters, etc Experience creating and using behavioral models is a plus (AMS, DMS, Matlab, System-C or equivalent). Strong communication and teamwork skills are required. Mentoring and development of junior engineers. Commitment At NXP. We recognize we can be a powerful change agent as we continue to deliver innovative solutions that advance a more sustainable future. We remain steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and making measurable year-on-year progress. Also, we aim to create an inclusive work environment, and we will not tolerate racism, discrimination or harassment of any kind. We have programs in place focused on diversity, inclusion and equality.
