General Summary:

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Job Function

  BDC SerDes Mixed-Signal design team is actively looking for experienced (12+ years) analog circuit designers to work on high speed SerDes PHYs. You will be directly involved in delivering next-generation custom PHY designs for SoCs and will be part of a growing team involved in architecture analysis in leading-nodes - finfets & beyond. Design goals include low-power analog designs to address Qualcomm's low-power wireless products. 

  Responsibilities

  • Hands-on experience - Analog circuit design 
    • Experience in designing multiple analog building blocks - LDO, high speed TX and RX (Equalizer, Sampler, PI, Deserializer etc) , Bias, Reference etc.
    • Analog and or Digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and/or SerDes applications  
      • Charge pump, loop filter, VCO/DCO, PFD/TDC, high speed dividers. 
      • PLL Loop Dynamics, Jitter sources and modeling (RJ & DJ) 
  • Ability to take a design, perform schematic to post layout verification, integration sign-off to post silicon bring up.
  • Work closely with RTL, DD, PD, DV and SoC verification teams to integrate the PHY.

• Skills & Experience

  • For lead position, candidates must have performed PHY Lead roles which include PHY integration to SOC & interaction with post silicon teams like HSIO, ATE, SVE, CE etc.
  • Understanding of advance Finfet process effects on designs and layout is required.
  • Experience in using SPICE simulators, adexl & virtuoso.

  • Experience with post-Si bring-up and debug is must.
  • Good understanding on peripheral PHYs (USBs, UFS, PCIe) protocols is added advantage.
  • Master/Bachelor in Electronics
  • Shell/Perl-python scripting to automate circuit design and verification work.
  • Able to work with teams across the globe and possess good communication and presentation skills.
