Camera Subsystem Integration Lead - Camera Engineering

Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Camera Engineering

General Summary:

The Multimedia Camera HW team is looking for an experienced ASIC Design and Subsystem Integration Engineer to lead the integration of world-class Camera and Image Processing subsystems into next-generation SoCs.

As a senior member of the team, the candidate will provide technical leadership for Camera subsystem integration and work closely with architecture, design, DV, physical design, software, power, and SoC teams.

The candidate will be responsible for:

• Own and drive Camera subsystem-level RTL integration across multiple Camera and Image Processing IPs.
• Collaborate with hardware and system architects to define subsystem architecture, interfaces, and integration requirements.
• Lead integration of new IPs, features, and SoC-facing interfaces.
• Own top-level integration of clocks, resets, power domains, registers/address maps, interrupts, buses/interconnects, and configuration paths.
• Drive RTL baseline, integration, and release readiness for key project milestones.
• Run and review RTL quality checks including lint, CDC/RDC, low-power checks, connectivity checks, synthesis, and timing analysis.
• Evaluate performance, power, area, scalability, and implementation tradeoffs.
• Partner with DV teams to define subsystem-level verification requirements and integration test scenarios.
• Lead debug of complex issues spanning multiple IPs and subsystem/SoC boundaries.
• Identify integration risks early and drive cross-functional technical issues to closure.
• Drive integration methodology and automation improvements to improve quality and execution efficiency.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers across the Camera HW team.

The environment is fast-paced and requires significant cross-functional interaction. Strong technical leadership, communication, problem-solving, planning, and execution skills are essential.

Minimum Skills

Ideal candidate will have 10+ years of industry experience in ASIC/SoC design and integration, including:

• Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design and debugging.
• Complex ASIC/SoC subsystem integration.
• Design Verification and subsystem-level verification methodologies.
• SoC bus/interconnect protocols such as AHB and AXI.
• Clock, reset, interrupt, register, and power-domain integration.
• RTL quality methodologies including lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, timing analysis, and low-power checks.
• Experience working across Design, DV, Architecture, Physical Design, Software, and SoC teams.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Camera, Image Processing, Video, Multimedia, Graphics, or DSP hardware.
• Experience with ASIC implementation and integration of Camera/Image Processing IP.
• Understanding of high-bandwidth data paths, memory systems, NoC/interconnects, and performance optimization.
• Experience with low-power methodologies and UPF-based flows.
• Experience with Python, Perl, Tcl, or similar scripting languages for automation.
• Experience taking complex ASIC subsystems from architecture and RTL through verification, SoC integration, tapeout, and silicon bring-up.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 7+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
