Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

Push the boundaries on features and performance.

Qualcomm Technologies Audio products are designed to offer premium wireless connectivity, high levels of integration, immersive sound quality, and on-device AI for smart audio and context aware applications. An ultra-low power subsystem within a low power SoC; a chip-within-a-chip HW block incorporating multiple always-on IP's, design execution within this group requires solving ground-breaking challenges and multiple power domain crossing issues.

As part of our team your responsibilities will be focused on key ASIC implementation tasks such as:

• Synthesis

• Timing Constraints

• Implementing ECOs

• STA

• Power intent validation (CLP)

• Lint

• Power Analysis Tasks

• CDC validation

• Model and analyze performance, area, power, and system cost tradeoffs for different micro-architectures

• Contribute to implementation methodologies/ flows

Specific responsibilities will be a function of project and team needs and may vary over time. In addition to implementation tasks the successful candidate may also be asked to perform ASIC design tasks including some RTL development.

Minimum Qualifications:

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

Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

Requirements:

• Professional ASIC hardware design and/or implementation experience.

• Expertise with Verilog/VHDL RTL design languages and ability to write clean, readable, synthesizable RTL.

• Exceptional understanding of ASIC/VLSI concepts

• Experience in logic synthesis using Synopsis and/or Cadence tools.

• Detail oriented with strong analytical and debugging skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5+ years of ASIC hardware design related experience

• Strong communication (written and verbal) and collaboration skills

• Working knowledge of UPF specification

• Experience with synthesis, STA

• Experience with High-speed/Low power ASIC design within a Unix environment

• Experience with clock domain crossing techniques and tools

• Scripting skills (Python , PERL, TCL or C)
