Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

General Summary:

Qualcomm is one of the fastest growing semiconductor organizations, making high-end chips with the most advanced technologies. To support its growing needs, we have a Custom Solutions Team for design and development (RTL to GDS ) of various highspeed and low power IP’s (mini-macros) which are used across different sub-systems in SoC.

In this position, you will be an integral part of CST team with the opportunity to experience the entire ASIC design flow. This position involves understanding of RTL design of IPs and supporting them across multiple chips. It also requires close collaboration with SOC integration teams (across different time zones) on specifications, integration, development, and support of front-end views (RTL, CDC checks, Synthesis, Simulation, Low Power Checks, DFT, etc.) for these Soft/Hard-Macros.

Job Responsibilities: 

  • Understanding the RTL design of IPs and supporting them in integration across different sub-systems
  • RTL Design validation in terms of
    • Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) check
    • Synthesis and Static Timing Analysis
    • Formal and functional verification
    • Lint check of RTL
    • Power domain crossing checks
    • Power aware simulation
    • Design for Testability (DFT) checks
  • Close collaboration with different teams across various time zones.

Skillset/Experience:     

  • Strong knowledge in digital logic design (Data path and Finite Sate Machine (FSM) Design).
  • Experience in RTL Design and Verilog or System Verilog coding
  • Familiarity with front-end design flows (synthesis, formal verification, static timing analysis, CDC) is a plus

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
