General Summary

Job Description

Qualcomm Mixed-Signal IP (MSIP) Digital Design team is looking for experienced and talented digital design engineers to help designing the next generation of high-performance and low-power mixed-signal IPs. The MSIP digital design team consists of architects, ASIC designers, protocol experts, digital signal processing engineers, and algorithm designers who are driving the definition and realization of IPs for next-generation of Qualcomm’s products targeted for mobile, compute, automotive, and AI applications.

This role requires prior work experience in ASIC digital design flow, including micro-architecture definition, RTL coding, front-end implementation, as well as collaboration with DV and PD teams for verification and physical implementation of the design.

Responsibilities

• Architecture, design, and implementation of digital sections of mixed-signal IPs (SerDes, DDR, PLL, DAC, ADC, Sensors, etc.)
• Apply computer architecture, digital signal processing (DSP), and optimization techniques for improving power, performance, and area (PPA) of IPs
• Run full suite of ASIC design tools (lint checking, CDC, DFT, synthesis, FV, STA, etc.) to validate and implement the design
• Work with design verification (DV) team to define test plans, verify the design, and fix bugs
• Work with physical design (PD) team for physical implementation of the design
• Create design specifications and documentations
• Work with testing team for silicon bring-up and debug

Minimum Qualifications

• Master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in ASIC digital design, including micro-architecture and RTL design
• Experience working with various front-end ASIC tools such as Design Compiler, Fusion Compiler, Modelsim, VCS, Spyglass, and primetime.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute strongly within a high-performance team

Highly Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in low-power digital design
• Experience in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and algorithm design
• Experience in scripting languages (Python, Perl)
• Experience with at least one mixed-signal IP, such as SerDes (USB, PCIe, MIPI, UFS), DDR PHY, Timing circuitries (PLL, DLL, FLL), Data Convertors (DAC, ADC), or sensors
