Job description

Company:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area:
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > RFIC Design
General Summary:
Define, design and develop complex radio frequency integrated circuits in complex SoC's and discrete RFIC's. Perform radio signal path and circuit topology analysis and detailed transistor-level design of highly-integrated transceivers and associated blocks for wireless applications such as 6G, WLAN, and IOT using advanced process technologies. Utilize complex analysis, simulation, engineering, science and mathematical principles to compose algorithm structures to solve problems. Assess processing requirements and select devices to meet requirements. Debug and assess performance of algorithms in actual application hardware.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 2+ years of Electrical Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 1+ year of Electrical Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Determines circuit-level specifications based on system-level requirements with minimal supervision.
  • Uses technical expertise with tools/applications to develop the architecture and design of one or more blocks based on specifications.
  • Resolves architecture and design problems by applying sound RFIC engineering practices with minimal supervision.
  • Runs simulations to determine how circuits perform under various circumstances with minimal supervision.
  • Independently floor-plan layout; works with layout engineers under minimal guidance to generate the layout of circuits and conduct physical verification on the layout; participate in review of generated layout.
  • Writes test plans and reviews test results to assess performance and identify any bugs in own work and provides instructions to test engineers for their design block.
  • Debugs most issues and escalates highly complex issues.
  • Seeks essential knowledge of industry trends, and advances related to RFICs.
  • Collaborates with team members to generate new ideas.
  • Writes clear and detailed technical documentation and feature descriptions to guide users.
