HW Solutions Senior HW Design Engineer

HW Solutions Competency Center (HWS-CC) is a central team within NXPs Global Operations Engineering (GOE) organization responsible for design manufacturing compliance and supply chain operations of teamprovides hardwaresolutions to all businessunits within NXP through its global presence in North America EU and Asia. Board types include end-customer Silicon validation system solutions Failure Analyses and reliability application.

The HWS-CC Senior HW Design Engineer is responsible for end-to-end hardware design from translating requirements into functional architectures through detailed design and HW debugging. Works in cross functional teams with other HW designers Project managers manufacturing engineers customer support engineers or product validation engineers to ensure high quality HW performing according to specifications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and develop functional hardware architectures based on system and product requirements
• Engage with stakeholders / requestors to clarify HW requirements and translate them into optimized hardware design solutions
• Perform schematic design and capture ensuring high-quality manufacturable designs
• Drive PCB placement and layout guidance working closely with layout engineers to meet performance signal integrity and cost targets
• Select and manage Bill of Materials (BoM) balancing performance availability and cost considerations
• Conduct hardware simulations (e.g. signal integrity power integrity EM) to ensure robust system performance
• Support design bring-up and troubleshooting of hardware prototypes
• Provide design expertise to application teams and external customers as needed
• Contribute in improving HW Design competency by sharing best practices lessons learned and industry board design technologies

Key Competencies:

• Ability to understand system-level requirements and translate them into robust hardware architectures
