Senior Digital/AMS Validation and Integration Engineer

About the role

NXP is looking for a Senior Digital/AMS Validation and Integration Engineer to drive the integration of complex digital logic into its automotive SerDes transceivers. The role focuses on the RTL design of the "Digital-Analog Wrapper", which controls and routes data between high-speed analog front-ends and the DSP/Link-layer logic, and covers the path from RTL through timing closure and lab validation.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and integrate RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for control loops, calibration engines and high-speed data paths in 10G+ transceivers.
• Define and implement the digital interface for analog blocks (ADCs, PLLs, driver stages) across asynchronous domains.
• Lead the digital implementation flow and work with the physical design team to achieve timing closure in high-speed clock domains.
• Partner with the validation team to bring up silicon, using Python-based tools to exercise RTL features, debug state machines and verify registers (CSRs) in real-time hardware (about 40% lab focus).
• Run block-level and chip-level simulations to confirm digital control logic handles analog PVT variations and startup sequences.

Required profile

• BSEE/MSEE degree with 5-8+ years of experience in digital RTL design or digital integration.
• Preferred: experience with 10GBase-T, ASA or automotive Ethernet standards, knowledge of the hand-off between digital logic and high-speed analog front ends, and familiarity with DFT and BIST insertion.

Required skills

• Advanced SystemVerilog/Verilog for synthesis.
• Static timing analysis (STA), clock domain crossing (CDC) and SDC constraints.
• Python or Perl for hardware control, test automation and data processing.
• Logic analyzers, high-speed oscilloscopes and JTAG/I2C/SPI debugging.
• Able to create Verilog-A models (preferred).

What we offer

• Base salary range of $166,200 to $228,500 per year (California).
• Health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) and paid leave.
• Competitive benefits, incentive compensation and/or equity for certain roles.
