About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 4 or more years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience; or a Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 3 or more years of such experience; or a PhD in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 2 or more years of such experience.
  • Five to eight years of strong experience in digital front-end design for ASICs.
  • Expertise in RTL coding using Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog for complex designs with multiple clock and power domains.
  • Familiarity with Unified Power Format and power-domain crossing.
  • Familiarity with bus protocols including AHB, AXI, SPMI, I2C, and SPI.
  • Experience in low-power design methodology and clock-domain-crossing designs.
  • Experience with SpyGlass lint and clock-domain-crossing checks, including waiver creation.
  • Experience in formal verification with Cadence LEC.
  • Understanding of the full RTL-to-GDS flow to interact with DFT and physical-design teams.
  • Expertise in Perl and Tcl.

Responsibilities

  • Define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP block and SoC development for high-performance, high-quality, low-power products.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine the product execution path.
  • Design and develop next-generation power-control systems using ASICs based on the latest technology nodes.
  • Work across the VLSI development cycle, including architecture, microarchitecture, and RTL design, and interact with verification, synthesis, and physical-design teams to converge on the design.
  • Develop microarchitecture and implement designs using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
  • Integrate and deliver complex subsystems to the SoC.
  • Design and implement defined tasks independently.
  • Coordinate with systems, verification, SoC, software, physical-design, and DFT teams to complete goals.
  • Analyze reports and waivers or run tools including SpyGlass, 0-in, DC Compiler, PrimeTime, synthesis, and simulation tools.
  • Collaborate closely with multisite leads across the United States and India on digital RTL design and development.

Desired Qualifications

  • Post-silicon debug experience is a plus.

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.
