About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or a related field and at least 2 years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience; alternatively, a Master's degree in those fields and at least 1 year of related experience, or a PhD in those fields.
  • At least 10 years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT, or FE capacity; candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
  • Vast experience with DFT electronic design automation tools from Siemens, Synopsys, and Cadence.
  • Knowledge and understanding of Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog.
  • Exposure to computer-aided design and automation, including de-Perl techniques for creating generic code; TCL and Python knowledge is a plus.
  • Extensive experience with DFT standards including JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687), and memory, logic, and interconnect built-in self-test techniques.
  • Experience with SoC and IP/block-level scan insertion and ATPG, and simulation of zero-delay and SDF-annotated test sequences.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and support DFT methodology flows across company business units and projects.
  • Architect methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL-centric shift-left DFT environment across company IPs, ASICs, and SoC designs.
  • Write and automate RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by EDA vendors.
  • Develop automated verification test benches and sequence creation for DFT IP, and architect end-to-end verification solutions spanning static design checks, formal verification, and sequence-based verification.
  • Build IP/block- and SoC-level scan insertion flows and script ATPG retargeting procedures; create automated quality-of-results checks for implementation quality control.
  • Write static timing constraints, create waivers, and devise flows for robust timing checks.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience integrating custom-made DFT logic for complex SoC and CoWoS designs is highly desirable.

Qualcomm

Designs mobile chips and licenses wireless patents

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.
