Staff. Physical Design Engineer

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.  As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power world class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path.

•    Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.

•    3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
•    2+ years of experience with architecture and design tools.
•    2+ years of experience with scripting tools and programming languages.

•    2+ years of experience with design verification methods.

Principal Duties & Responsibilities:

•    Applies ASIC knowledge and experience to define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power products.

•    Creates architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and/or system simulations based on system-level requirements.

•    Collaborates across teams (e.g., software architecture, hardware architecture) to develop and execute an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs.

•    Evaluates all aspects of process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification or similarly for custom circuit design/layout flow.

•    Utilizes tools/applications (e.g., RTL to GDS Flow, Virtuoso) to execute and enable architecture and design of an individual block/SoC or IC Package.

•    Writes detailed technical documentation for EDA/IP/ASIC projects.
