Mobile Chipset Engineer

  • California
  • Qualcomm
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. Preferred Qualifications: •

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

9+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience. •

3+ years of experience with architecture and design tools. •

3+ years of experience with scripting tools and programming languages. •

3+ years of experience with design verification methods. •

2+ years of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above). Principal Duties and Responsibilities: •

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

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

Evaluates all aspects of highly complex 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 highly advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks/SoC or IC Packages. •

Writes detailed technical documentation for highly complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects; reviews technical documentation for junior engineers. Level of Responsibility: •

Provides supervision/guidance to other team members. •

Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group. •

Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc. •

Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions). • Tasks do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
