Job description

Qualcomm is seeking talented engineers for CPU RTL development focused on high performance and low power devices, specifically in cache and memory controller design. As a CPU Micro-architecture and RTL Design Engineer, you will collaborate with chip architects to define micro-architecture and contribute to product life-cycle early on. The role emphasizes performance exploration, RTL ownership, and functional verification support. This position is integral to transforming 5G technology into world-changing products.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 5+ years, or a PhD with 4+ years.
  • Thorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in load/store execution, prefetching, and cache controllers.
  • Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL.
  • Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.
  • Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques and high performance techniques.

Responsibilities

  • Explore high performance strategies in collaboration with the CPU performance modeling team.
  • Develop and specify microarchitecture from high-level exploration to detailed specification.
  • Own the development, assessment, and refinement of RTL design to meet power, performance, area, reliability, and timing goals.
  • Support the design verification team in executing the functional verification strategy.
  • Assist in verifying that the RTL design meets performance goals.
  • Collaborate with a multi-functional engineering team to implement and validate physical design aspects.

Benefits

  • Qualcomm offers competitive compensation, annual bonuses, stock programs, comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement plans, wellness programs, parental leave, flexible work options, and professional development opportunities.
