About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or a related field and at least 4 years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience; or a Master's degree in one of these fields and at least 3 years of related work experience; or a PhD in one of these fields and at least 2 years of related work experience.
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from a reputed institution.
  • At least 3 years of experience in Physical Design/Implementation.
  • Experience with physical design implementation for PPA-critical cores and making appropriate PPA trade-off decisions.
  • Strong expertise in timing convergence of high-frequency data-path-intensive cores and advanced static timing analysis concepts.
  • Proficiency in block-level place-and-route convergence using Synopsys ICC2 or Cadence Innovus, and timing convergence using PTSI or Tempus in the latest technology nodes.
  • Good understanding of clocking architecture.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with design, DFT, and PNR teams and resolve issues relating to constraints validation, verification, static timing analysis, and physical design.
  • Proficiency in Tcl and Perl scripting.
  • Experience working as part of a larger team toward project milestones and deadlines, and handling technical deliverables with a small team of engineers.

Responsibilities

  • Perform physical implementation activities for high-performance GPU cores, including floorplanning, place and route, clock tree synthesis, formal verification, physical verification (DRC/LVS), power distribution network implementation, timing closure, and power optimization.
  • Collaborate with RTL, STA, DFT, Power, and SoC teams to achieve PPA targets and successful tapeouts.
  • Handle technical deliverables with a small team of engineers.

About the Company

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.
