Job description
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area:
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering
General Summary:
The Mixed-Signal IP team at Qualcomm is seeking skilled RTL and ASIC design engineers to contribute to the development of next-generation Mixed-Signal IPs - including DAC, ADC, and PLLs - for integration across Qualcomm's product portfolio.
In this role, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team to architect, design, implement, and validate complex IP blocks. Your work will directly support multiple business units and require a strong grasp of the full ASIC design flow, from RTL through GDSII, along with an understanding of the challenges associated with advanced semiconductor technologies.
Responsibilities:
- Architect and define the digital design of Mixed-Signal IPs (e.g., DAC, ADC, PLL) in close 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 (PPA)
- Utilize industry-standard ASIC design tools for lint checking, clock domain crossing (CDC) analysis, design-for-test (DFT), synthesis, formal verification (FV), and static timing analysis (STA)
- Design and analyze DFT logic, including ATPG for stuck-at fault (SAF) and transition delay fault (TDF) coverage
- Create comprehensive design documentation, including hardware specifications
- Collaborate with the design verification (DV) team to define test plan, verify the design, and fix bugs
- Work with the physical design (PD) team to support floorplanning, placement, and timing closure of IPs
- Support SoC integration and debug, including pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up
Required for this Role:
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in RTL and ASIC design
- Proficiency with industry-standard front-end ASIC design tools including VCS, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, Power Compiler (PTPX), DFT Compiler, Spyglass, and others
Preferred Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience in high-speed digital circuit design
- Strong background in low-power digital design techniques
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in RTL design and ASIC implementation of mixed-signal IPs such as SerDes DDR PHY, PLLs, DACs, ADCs, and sensors
- Expertise in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and algorithm development
- Experience developing automation scripts and design productivity tools using Python or Perl
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
