Junior Digital Design Engineer - MCU

About the role

NXP is expanding its Catania team to develop high‑impact micro‑controllers for AI at the Edge. As a Junior Digital Design Engineer you will work on complex System‑on‑Chip (SoC) digital sub‑circuits, collaborating with analog, mixed‑signal and software groups.

Key responsibilities

• Develop digital sub‑circuits based on specifications using RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, static timing analysis, formal verification and power analysis.
• Contribute to Design‑for‑Test (DfT) implementation, verification and debugging.
• Collaborate with analog, mixed‑signal and software teams to define interfaces and optimise system performance.
• Perform comprehensive design verification with simulation, formal methods and hardware emulation.
• Participate in post‑silicon validation and debug activities.
• Generate detailed design documentation, including specifications, test plans and design reviews.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• Problem‑solving attitude, attention to detail and ability to work in a team‑oriented environment.

Required skills

• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL design and verification.
• Familiarity with industry‑standard EDA tools for RTL coding, synthesis, static timing analysis and formal verification.
• Understanding of digital circuit design, timing analysis, power integrity and low‑power techniques.
• Basic knowledge of UVM (a plus).
