Job Description

Overview

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area: 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.

QCT's Digital ASIC Team is actively seeking candidates for several physical design engineering positions in our SOC and core design team. As a physical design engineer you will innovate, develop, and implement chips and cores using state-of-the-art tools and technologies. You will be part of a team responsible for the complete Physical Design Flow and deliveries of complex, high-speed, low power designs such as GPU, Camera and other MM, DDR, Modem, Audio. Tasks also involve the development and enablement of low power implementation methods, customized P&R to achieve area reduction, performance, and power goals. Additional responsibilities include understanding functional and test (DFT) mode constraints for place and route, floorplanning, power planning, IR drop analysis, cell placement, multi-mode & multi-corner (MMMC) clock tree synthesis, routing, timing optimization and closure, RC extraction, signal integrity, cross talk noise and delay analysis, debugging timing violations for MMMC designs, implementing timing fixes and functional ECOs, debugging and fixing physical violations, and formal verification. The individual should have deep knowledge of scripting and software languages including Python, PERL/TCL, Linux/Unix shell and C. This individual will design, verify, and deliver complex Physical Design solutions from netlist and timing constraints to the final product.

Responsibilities

• Innovate, develop, and implement chips and cores using state-of-the-art tools and technologies as part of a physical design team.
• Own or contribute to the complete Physical Design Flow and deliveries of complex, high-speed, low power designs (GPU, Camera, MM, DDR, Modem, Audio).
• Develop and enable low power implementation methods, customized place-and-route to achieve area reduction, performance, and power goals.
• Understand and address functional and test (DFT) mode constraints for place and route, floorplanning, power planning, IR drop analysis, cell placement, and MMMC clock tree synthesis.
• Perform routing, timing optimization and closure, RC extraction, signal integrity, cross-talk noise and delay analysis; debug timing violations for MMMC designs and implement timing fixes and functional ECOs; fix physical violations and perform formal verification.
• Demonstrate scripting and software skills (Python, Perl/TCL, Linux/Unix shell, C) to design, verify, and deliver Physical Design solutions from netlist to final product.

Preferred Qualifications

• 6+ years of industry experience in Physical Design, with expertise in Place & Route tools (Cadence Innovus and/or Synopsys Fusion Compiler).
• Timing closure experience in Synopsys PTSI.
• Formal verification experience.
• Power domain analysis experience.
• Physical verification experience.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• Or Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• Or PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
