Job Summary:

NXP is looking for a Senior Display Controller & Graphics IP Architect to help lead research & development for its next generation portfolio of Automotive and IOT/Edge SOC products. Ideal candidates will have experience with high performance technical teams spanning the globe and delivering differentiated graphics and human interface solutions. In this role you will:

• Drive the IP roadmap and strategy for display IP technology development for all NXP display enabled products and guide architecture and engineering teams throughout the product R&D cycle.
• Engaging externally with industry standards organizations including MIPI, and the HDMI Forum to drive the advancement of future display interface specifications
• Develop knowledge of the competitive landscape and an understanding of technologies and approaches to help ensure differentiation of NXP SOCs
• Collaborate with other display and graphics experts at NXP to develop key technologies to differentiate
• Collaborate with business and engineering teams to formulate product concept and business case.
• Facilitate design development efforts, performance estimation, and performance analysis through methodology and hands-on contributions
• Create and maintain technical documents including architecture specifications, implementation guides, and user guides
• Mentor junior and senior architects with your domain expertise
• Leverage your strong communication skills

Key Challenges:

• This position requires broad expertise and system knowledge to be successful. This includes working with SOC integration and implementation teams, performance modeling, logic design & verification and software driver & operating system development teams. You should be able to anticipate and prevent potential problems/roadblocks which could be discovered late in the post silicon final product development phase.

Cross functional aspects:

• You are agile and self-driven and able to work without significant management oversight by grasping relative priorities and handling the requests from working with many different internal and external groups in parallel.
• You have a passion and vision for the strategic directions of improvements in display technologies, and the ability to see things from the points-of-view of users, external customers, partners, and other internal teams to find the best overall path forward.
• The local team is led by Fellows and Technical Directors with many years of domain experience to leverage and further develop skills useful as you advance your career

Job Qualifications:

• MS or PhD degree in computer or electrical engineering with at least 10 years of architecture, design and/or verification experience.
• Knowledge of display panel technologies, SERDES signal quality, display video timings, display color spaces and color processing, high dynamic range, and image resizing.
• Experience with development and deployment of display interfaces such as MIPI, DisplayPort or HDMI.
• Power optimization experience at the IP, SoC and system levels.
• Proven record of architecting product solutions with new technologies and/or significant technological improvements.
• Experience collaborating, influencing, and encouraging technical alignment across multi-functional, multi-location technical teams.
• Experience engaging with and contributing to international standards development organizations.
• Ability to support strategic technology roadmaps and partnerships across technology domains.
• Have successfully developed deep customer relationships.
• You have a passion to innovate, to think differently, to explore new avenues, and to influence stakeholders with detailed investigations
• You are comfortable communicating and solving issues at all levels of architecture definition from micro-architecture to system level to software architecture.
• You have been working on SOC infrastructure architectures and related system constraints.
• You are used to working on immature technologies and follow up latest advancements in Research.
• You thrive in an open collaborative working culture that provides an opportunity to impact products and roadmaps with your ideas/prototypes/empirical analysis.
• You work in a structured, transparent, and accurate way.
• You are a constructive team player and actively share experience and knowledge with colleagues.
• Your networking skills, creativity, persistence, and passion for what you do are highly valued.
• Experience in C/C++ programming language in a Linux and Windows environment.
• Knowledge and experience with Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) networks and tools is a plus
