Job description

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.

You will be joining one of the World's best Camera Design Solutions IP teams that delivers the Spectra ISP to various Snapdragon SoCs.

A successful candidate will work on developing implementation infrastructure for Camera IP delivered to various SoCs. The candidate will be responsible for various functions from RTL integration through physical design. As a member of the Camera team, the successful applicant will help integrate, implement, and develop state of the art Camera cores and will be working closely with the Camera development and physical design teams. The successful candidate will possess understanding of ASIC design flow and the challenges posed by advanced deep sub-micron technologies.

The Design Implementation Engineer will work in Qualcomm's Spectra Camera team and will be responsible for managing all aspect of front end implementation design. The role will also include working with execution driven teams for tape-outs by supporting new methodologies and new flows required to address better QoR like performance, power and area. This is a new headcount position.

The responsibilities will include the following:

• RTL to GDS2 flow, tools and methodologies such as synthesis, static timing analysis, formal verification, physical design and ECO generation/verification
• Implementation and delivery of Camera cores from RTL to Netlist
• Identify areas for flow and process improvements
• RTL synthesis using physically aware tools
• Formal Verification and Low Power verification using industry standard tools for RTL-netlist and netlist-netlist checks
• Close design timing by running static timing analysis and constraints development at block and SoC Level
• Generate and verify ECOs for functional and timing fixes, working closely with the physical design team
• Low Power synthesis flows for multiple corners
• Strong scripting skills to automate flows, improve productivity, and support analysis/debug (e.g., for synthesis, STA, ECO, and verification workflows)
