Senior Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer – Power

QUALCOMM, Inc.; San Diego (CA); On-site; USD 146,000 - 218,000; Full time

Job summary

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. seeks an experienced engineer to define architecture and design for CMOS mixed analog/digital blocks, including data converters, PLLs, DAC/ADC, and power regulators. You will participate from system-level simulations to circuit design, with strong involvement in layout evaluation.

You will lead verification planning, run complex simulations, and document results. Collaboration with layout teams and vendors is essential for meeting power, performance, and functionality

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of analog or mixed-signal IC design experience in CMOS or FinFET processes.
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 3+ years of Mixed-Signal IC design/verification experience.
• PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with relevant experience in Mixed-Signal IC design/verification.
• 2+ years of experience using one or more design tools (e.g., CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, Verilog/VHDL).

Responsibilities

• Define architecture and circuit specifications from system requirements; oversee design from system level to circuit implementation.
• Oversee block-level layout in collaboration with layout teams; ensure design-for-layout alignment.
• Define verification plans for IP/chip portions and run advanced simulations (power, performance) to meet targets.
• Design, program, and run complex tests and bench/ATE data analyses; identify and analyze issues.
• Document design descriptions and provide guidance to users or customers as needed.
• Collaborate with internal/external users and vendors to align implementation with needs.
