Job Description:

NXP’s SerDes Networking Solution (SNS) team delivers open-standard Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) Motion Link multi-Gigabit connectivity for next-generation sensors and vehicle displays. As part of the Applications Engineering team, you will work with both internal engineering teams to develop collaterals to ease customer adoption of our SerDes solutions, as well as with NXP’s field teams and customer engineering teams to ensure successful system design and bring-up.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with IC design, systems, FW, and test teams to translate field issues and customer requirements into product improvements and new features.
  • Review customer schematics and layouts for signal‑integrity and power‑integrity best practices (impedance control, terminations, return paths, via design, reference plane strategy).
  • Lead board‑level bring‑up and validation using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers; generate test reports and recommendations.
  • Provide on‑site or remote debug support for complex customer issues.
  • Develop and maintain application collateral: reference designs, layout guidelines, design checklists, characterization reports, application notes, training materials.
  • Participate in trade shows and provide FAE training

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field.
  • Extensive experience (12+ years) in hardware design, applications engineering, or system validation.
  • Familiarity with high-speed data communication protocols and interfaces, including Ethernet networking and switching, MIPI CSI-2, and display protocols (DP/eDP)
  • Strong understanding of high‑speed SerDes fundamentals: channel loss, reflections, return loss, insertion loss, ISI, jitter, equalization, and clocking.
  • Demonstrated experience with multi‑Gbps serial links (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, DP, USB3.x/USB4, proprietary SerDes).
  • Proficiency with SI/PI tools and simulations (e.g., S‑parameter analysis, eye/jitter simulations) and comfort interpreting simulation and measurement correlation.
  • Hands‑on experience using lab equipment: high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, BERT, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and related tools.
  • Strong skills in PCB design for high‑speed: layer stack‑up, routing constraints, differential pairs, reference planes, decoupling, and power delivery.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills to explain complex technical topics to both expert and non‑expert audiences. ⁽⁵⁾
  • Ability to work effectively with global, cross‑functional teams (design, systems, test, marketing, field).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
