Our Team

The SERDES Networking Solutions (SNS) team within NXP develops transceivers for in-vehicle networking (IVN) with data rates from 2Gbs to 16Gps. These transceivers deploy sophisticated analog and digital design to provide video, audio, control, and Ethernet connectivity within the vehicle.

Your Role

We are looking for a Principal Digital Design Engineer to join our team of engineers who define and implement new capabilities for our transceivers.

Your Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of engineers to design, implement, and support in-vehicle networking devices as part of NXP’s Automotive product line.
  • Manage the day-to-day performance of junior engineering team members.
  • Define block requirements and architecture, optimizing for area, power, and timing, implementing functional safety requirements, and coordinating with verification and validation teams to comply with automotive design processes.
  • Documentation: Create robust design documentation to clearly communicate design intent to team members.
  • Implementation: Implement design intent in SystemVerilog or Chisel.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with Architecture, digital and analog design, DV, and validation teams to ensure timely delivery of quality products.

Your Profile

  • B.S./M.S. in Electrical/Computer Engineering (or similar degrees).
  • Experience as a chip lead, architect, or subsystem lead in leading digital design teams to meet design parameters.
  • Proven track record of multiple successful tape-outs covering the complete chip design lifecycle in industry.
  • Experience in silicon design, including synthesis, static timing closure, and DFT.
  • Fluent in SystemVerilog or VHDL and an object-oriented software language.
  • Expertise desired in Ethernet networking, automotive design processes, embedded ARM or RISC-V processors, and Chisel.
  • Hands-on experience in debug and silicon bringup.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
