About the role
Qualcomm's ASICS Engineering Group develops high performance, high quality, low power IP and SoC products, with engineers defining, modeling, designing, verifying, validating, and documenting block/SoC IP in collaboration with cross-functional teams. This senior role focuses on peripheral validation within ASIC development, spanning architecture creation, logic design, system simulation, and evaluation of design flows from high-level design through synthesis, place and route, timing and power. The engineer works independently with minimal supervision, guides other team members, and writes detailed technical documentation for complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects.
What you will do
- 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 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 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 advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks/SoC or IC Packages.
- Writes and reviews detailed technical documentation for complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects.
