Company:Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

General Summary:

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.

 

Qualcomm's Global SoC Power team is currently seeking candidate whose primary role is to implement and validate low power design intent requirements at the SoC-level.  The role also expands to power analysis and projection of SoC Use Case power.  The candidate will work with frontend RTL, DFT, Synthesis, Design Verification and Physical Design teams during the SoC development.   Also the candidate will have the opportunity to work with IP designers, power target (Chipset/SW) teams, and Post-Silicon test teams to jointly ensure power intent design requirements and power projections are fully validated.

 

QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering plus:ASIC frontend developmentLogic design, RTL coding, verification, synthesis, and timing closureHardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL, System Verilog)Power-aware implementation flow, including UPF/CPF/Conformal Low Power CheckScripting - Perl/Tcl/Python

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering

Experience with/in:
