DSP Engineer - Automotive Ethernet PHY

About the role

NXP is looking for a DSP Engineer to join its Automotive Ethernet PHY team in Bangalore. You will work closely with the DSP Architect to implement DSP algorithms, contribute to PHY architecture realization, and support verification, validation and backend teams throughout the product lifecycle.

Key responsibilities

• Implement and optimize the DSP architecture for Automotive Ethernet PHY (100/1000BASE-T1, Multi-Gig).
• Develop high-quality RTL for DSP datapath blocks such as filters, equalizers, echo cancellers, FFE/DFE, AGC and timing recovery.
• Work with Verification/Validation on debugging, coverage closure and model correlation.
• Collaborate with DFT, System Architecture, IC Integration and Backend teams on constraints and timing closure.
• Develop MATLAB/Python models and support system-level analysis.

Required profile

• Strong DSP and communication systems fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with PHY-layer DSP blocks.
• RTL design expertise (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Understanding of synthesis, STA, CDC and linting flows.
• Good to have: experience with Automotive Ethernet PHY development, knowledge of DFT, post-silicon bring-up and backend timing closure, and exposure to UVM environments and formal verification.

Required skills

• RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C/C++ modeling
• Synthesis, STA, CDC, linting
