Job description

The Mixed-Signal IP team at Qualcomm is looking for skilled micro architect and digital design engineers to develop next-generation, high-performance, low-power interface IPs such as SerDes and DDR. This role involves collaboration with cross-functional teams to architect, design, implement, and validate complex IP blocks. Candidates should have a strong understanding of the full ASIC design flow and the challenges associated with advanced semiconductor technologies. The position directly supports multiple business units across Qualcomm's product portfolio, including mobile and AI.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 7+ years of experience in RTL and ASIC design
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in micro-architecture and digital design for mixed-signal IPs such as SerDes, DDR PHY, PLLs, DACs, ADCs, and sensors
  • Proficiency with industry-standard front-end ASIC design tools including VCS, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, Power Compiler, DFT Compiler, and Spyglass

Responsibilities

  • Architect and define the digital design of high-speed interface IPs in collaboration with system architecture and analog design teams
  • Develop micro-architecture and implement RTL for complex mixed-signal IP blocks
  • Apply advanced techniques in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and ASIC design to enhance power, performance, and area
  • Utilize industry-standard ASIC design tools for lint checking, clock domain crossing analysis, design-for-test, synthesis, formal verification, and static timing analysis
  • Design and analyze DFT logic, including ATPG for stuck-at fault and transition delay fault coverage
  • Create comprehensive design documentation, including hardware specifications
  • Collaborate with the design verification team to define test plans, verify designs, and fix bugs
  • Support SoC integration and debug, including pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up

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.
