Senior Display Controller & Graphics IP Architect

Job Summary:

• Be an integral member of a small, highly-experienced team in R&D that is responsible for the architecture of new, differentiating, digital IP acceleration domains used in the design of advanced microcontrollers and microprocessors based chips.  The technology for which this team is responsible provides market differentiation of a product portfolio with over four billion USD in annual revenue.  Chances are that the car you drive, the intelligent devices that pervade your living space and the factories that produce the goods you use will contain one or more of the chips that you contribute to.

• We are part of MCU/MPU Engineering, a central design organization within NXP, developing products for multiple business lines in Automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), Networking, and Radio Frequency products, with expertise in hardware engineering, including architecture, IP, and full SoC Design.

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.
