About the Job

Requirements

  • 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 that experience; or a PhD in Science, Engineering, or a related field and 2 or more years of that experience.

Responsibilities

  • Leverage advanced ASIC knowledge and experience to define, model, design digital and/or analog systems, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for high-performance, high-quality, low-power products.
  • Create advanced architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and/or system simulations based on system-level requirements.
  • Collaborate across software architecture, hardware architecture, product management, and program management teams to develop and execute an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs.
  • Evaluate complex process flow aspects from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification, or equivalent custom circuit design/layout flow.
  • Use tools and applications such as RTL-to-GDS flow and Virtuoso to execute and enable advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks/SoC or IC packages.
  • Write and review detailed technical documentation for complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects.
  • Work independently with minimal supervision and provide supervision and guidance to other team members.
  • Make significant decisions that affect work beyond the immediate work group, with moderate influence over key organizational decisions and consultation by senior leadership.
  • Convey complex information verbally and in writing, with negotiation, influence, or tact as needed.
  • Plan, solve problems, and prioritize tasks that do not have defined steps.

Desired Qualifications

  • 1 or more year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership, such as Director level and above.

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.
