Quick answer: Entry-level in name, but the operational half is real: deployments, change requests, monitoring and incident tickets sit alongside the pipeline building. The 1+ years counts internships, so fresh graduates with a Databricks or PySpark project are genuinely in the running.

From NXP Semiconductors's job posting

Position Summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic entry-level Data Engineer with a growing DevOps mindset to help build and maintain reliable, scalable data pipelines that power business functions across the enterprise. This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer to learn, grow, and build hands-on expertise — you'll support the team in developing data pipelines, learn CI/CD and operational practices, and take on increasing responsibility under the guidance of senior engineers.

Core Skills

Databricks · Python (PySpark) · SQL · Data Pipelines · CI/CD

Engineering & Delivery

Help build and maintain data pipelines on Databricks under guidance.

Develop ETL/ELT processes with attention to data quality, consistency, and scalability.

  • Contribute to reusable frameworks for ingestion, transformation, and reconciliation across source systems.
  • Follow established engineering standards — coding standards, pipeline patterns, and ETL/ELT best practices.

Operations & DevOps

  • Assist with deploying changes through CI/CD and the Change Request (CR) lifecycle, including validation and ticket closure.
  • Participate in problem-solving and root-cause analysis, learning to drive permanent fixes over recurring firefighting.
  • Help monitor data workloads and support incident response with guidance from senior engineers.

Collaboration

  • Work with Reporting, Platform, and Business teams to help deliver curated datasets for downstream consumers.
  • Communicate progress and issues clearly to engineering peers and mentors.
  • Document workflows and runbooks to support reproducibility and knowledge sharing.

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

  • In your first 6–12 months, you'll build a solid understanding of the data platform, confidently deliver assigned pipeline tasks, and become comfortable with CI/CD and operational practices — with support from senior engineers.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • 1+ years of experience (including internships) in data engineering or a related area — fresh graduates with relevant internships are encouraged to apply.
  • Foundational hands-on knowledge of Databricks, Python (PySpark), and SQL for data processing.
  • Exposure to building data pipelines (ETL/ELT), through projects, internships, or coursework.
  • Basic understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Git-based version control.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) or willingness to learn.
  • Awareness of monitoring and observability concepts.
  • Good communication skills and eagerness to learn.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to orchestration frameworks or streaming technologies.
  • Basic familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code and deployment tooling.
  • Awareness of observability tooling for data platforms.
  • Background or interest in semiconductor manufacturing or large-scale industrial data processing.
  • Any Databricks or cloud certification is a plus.

Competencies

  • Eagerness to learn and grow data engineering skills.
  • Ownership mindset — takes pride in the quality of assigned work.
  • Problem-solving orientation — curiosity and attention to detail.
  • Collaboration — works well with peers and mentors across teams.
  • Clear communication — able to explain technical details to peers.

HireSetu's note

The shortlist bar

Early-career is meant literally here. The one year of experience counts internships, and pipelines built during coursework are accepted as evidence, so a 2025 or 2026 graduate with a PySpark project and SQL they can defend is a real candidate. A career switcher with no data engineering work behind them will find the Databricks and SQL screen hard to pass, whatever their previous field.

The semiconductor setting is a preference, not a gate. NXP makes chips, and the data flows in from large-scale industrial processes, so curiosity about manufacturing data reads well in conversation. The degree line, CS or IT or something adjacent, is the one requirement with no flex in it.

The operations half

Ask how a week splits between building pipelines and running the release side: change requests, validation, ticket closure, monitoring. Entry-level data engineers tend to picture mostly development and then find a large share of their time goes to releases and support work. This listing describes both openly, which is a decent sign.

Ask which AWS services the team runs on and what work sits on Databricks versus moving elsewhere. Ask about incident response: who picks up the first alert, and where a junior engineer sits in that chain. Then ask which orchestration tooling the team uses day to day, because that decides what you're actually learning in year one.
