General Summary:
Job Description
Qualcomm Mixed-Signal IP (MSIP) Digital Design team is looking for experienced and talented digital design engineers to help designing the next generation of high-performance and low-power mixed-signal IPs. The MSIP digital design team consists of architects, ASIC designers, protocol experts, digital signal processing engineers, and algorithm designers who are driving the definition and realization of IPs for next-generation of Qualcomm’s products targeted for mobile, compute, automotive, and AI applications.
This role requires prior work experience in ASIC digital design flow, including micro-architecture definition, RTL coding, front-end implementation, as well as collaboration with DV and PD teams for verification and physical implementation of the design.
Responsibilities:
Architecture, design, and implementation of digital sections of mixed-signal IPs (SerDes, DDR, PLL, DAC, ADC, Sensors, etc.)
Apply computer architecture, digital signal processing (DSP), and optimization techniques for improving power, performance, and area (PPA) of IPs
Run full suite of ASIC design tools (lint checking, CDC, DFT, synthesis, FV, STA, etc.) to validate and implement the design
Work with design verification (DV) team to define test plans, verify the design, and fix bugs
Work with physical design (PD) team for physical implementation of the design
Create design specifications and documentations
Work with testing team for silicon bring-up and debug
Minimum Qualifications
Master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of experience in ASIC digital design, including micro-architecture and RTL design
Experience working with various front-end ASIC tools such as Design Compiler, Fusion Compiler, Modelsim, VCS, Spyglass, and primetime.
Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute strongly within a high-performance team
Highly Preferred Qualifications
Experience in low-power digital design
Experience in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and algorithm design
Experience in scripting languages (Python, Perl)
Experience with at least one mixed-signal IP, such as SerDes (USB, PCIe, MIPI, UFS), DDR PHY, Timing circuitries (PLL, DLL, FLL), Data Convertors (DAC, ADC), or sensors

Qualcomm designs the Snapdragon processors and modems inside many Android phones, and it licenses its wireless patents to device makers around the world. It helped commercialize CDMA, the cellular technology behind 3G networks, and its patents cover core parts of the 4G and 5G standards that phones use to connect. The company does not run its own chip factories; contract foundries make its chips, which it sells to makers of phones, PCs, cars, and connected devices. Device makers also pay Qualcomm royalties for using its patented technology, which forms a second business alongside chip sales. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 and is based in San Diego, California.
