SOC Infrastructure IP System HW Architect

Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in.

GENERAL SUMMARY

The infrastructure IP Team consists of a multi-disciplinary group involved in the definition and design ofSOCinfrastructure HW components such as Interconnect (NOC), System Cache, Memory controllers, and System MMU that are implemented in all Qualcomm SoCs. This position primarily involves defining HW architecture for the next generation of SOCinfrastructureHW IPs with ARM Architecture enabled and beyond. The ideal candidate should demonstrate the ability to define HW architectures based on Product Requirements and HW-SW interfaces that are SW developer friendly. It requires deep understanding of HW architecture, HW-&-SW feature trade-off, and the complete silicon HW end-2-end design flow. This is a challenging position, defining and driving our most innovative technologies.

Skills/Experience

• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience with multi-die / chiplet architectures and Die-to-Die, Chip-to-Chip Links.

• Strong knowledge in industry standard Interconnect Protocol and IO Devices Protocol

• Strong knowledge in SOC and Infrastructure IP (NOC, SMMU, Caches) HW architecture

• Strong knowledge in Quality of Service, Clocks, Power management, Security and Debug architectures and their respective software interfaces

• Good knowledge in HW-SW interfaces and firmware

• Experience with Performance modeling and validation

• Experience with RTL design and complete design flow

• Ability to quickly react and adapt to changes.

• Excellent communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong knowledge in SOC infrastructure IP (NOC, Caches, SMMU, Memory Controller, Interrupt Handler)

• Strong knowledge in Platform System Architecture (example : ARM or X86 or RISC-V )

• Strong experience with industry standards (PCIe, CXL, USB, UFS, MIPI, UCIe,…)

• Strong knowledge in ARM Advanced Technology in the area of Security, RAS, MPAM, Memory Tagging, etc.

• Strong knowledge in HW-SW interfaces, APIs & firmware

• Experience in Data Science, Machine Learning is a plus

• Experience in Functional Safety is a plus
