PhD Student in High-Confidence System Level Modeling for Mixed Analog / RF / Digital HW and SW Systems (m/f/d)

<p><b>Overview:</b></p><p>High-confidence system level modeling for mixed analog / RF / digital HW and SW systems is an active research topic within the Business Line Radar Frequency Processing, which is divided into three Product Lines: Car Infotainment, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Personal Health. It is the RF Processing powerhouse of NXP with R&amp;D centers and high-tech colleagues around the globe. The Business Line holds several market leadership positions including radar semiconductors, radio &amp; audio infotainment as well as hearing aids. System knowledge, RF-CMOS integration and embedded software/algorithms are the core of its success. In the automotive context, the arising complexity in integrated automotive systems gives rise to needed enhancements of analog / RF / AMS system simulation with respect to IP different level properties. As NXP is the world's No. 1 supplier of automotive semiconductors, you will be part of developing highly relevant solutions to address future customer requirements.</p><p></p><p><b>Your tasks:</b></p><ul><li><p>Enable multi-run analysis (e.g., MonteCarlo) of system level models with cross-coupled parameters</p></li><li><p>Support definition of system level models and an application specific model library, including SW controlled HW functions</p></li><li><p>Introduce top-down modeling approach using an appropriate test vehicle</p></li><li><p>Create <span>prototype/demonstrator</span> of analog / RF / AMS / digital HW / SW system modeling &amp; simulation environment</p></li><li><p>Participate in the dissemination and exploitation of the results (scientific publications, conferences …)</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>Education and Requirements:</b></p><ul><li><p>Master in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or related fields</p></li><li><p>Experience with or a good understanding of one or more simulation and statistical methods including non-linear systems</p></li><li><p>Must be familiar with C/C++ language and SystemC/SystemC-AMS modeling concepts</p></li><li><p>Must have an interest in integrated circuit design of analog / RF / AMS / digital HW / SW systems</p></li><li><p>Strong interest in mathematical and statistical analyses including non-linear systems</p></li><li><p>Interest in pre- and post-silicon technology and analyses</p></li><li><p>Fluent in spoken and written English</p></li><li><p>Excellent communication and presentation skills (internally and externally)</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>Please note that this is a contract in part-time (80%), limited to 3 years.</b></p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.nxp.com/company/about-nxp/worldwide-locations/germany:GERMANY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">More information about NXP in Germany...</a></p><p></p>#LI-3da9
