Engineer, ASICS

Qualcomm•San Diego, CA

About The Position

Integrate flow automation which is critical for chip design by applying expertise in data processing and analysis techniques. Leverage subject matter expertise to develop Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools and software for the latest design, technology, algorithms, and automation. Improve cost efficiency for Qualcomm’s SoC teams and core teams, and help improve time efficiency and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Uses tools/applications (i.e., Cadence, RTL Compiler, etc.) to execute the architecture and design of a specific part of a block according to design protocol provided. Resolves architecture, design, or verification problems by applying sound ASIC engineering practices with some supervision. Executes the design and verification strategies of ASICs, SoC, and IP cores of own specific assigned part of a block or IC Package with supervision from project lead. Writes basic tests and regressions to identify any bugs in own work. Runs power checks on specific part of a block under the guidance of more senior engineers. Interprets the results of performance checks and reports them to team lead. Supports the innovation of ASICs, SoC, IP cores, and/or transistor level integrated circuits. Writes, reviews, and edits technical document in accordance with template requirements. Communicates directly with lead on any significant deviations from the Plan of Record for specific assigned part of a block in a timely manner. Participates in design or project reviews and project meetings. Provides input to team lead regarding areas for process and procedural improvement. Will accept a Master's Degree (or foreign academic equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree field. Will also accept a Bachelor's Degree (or foreign academic equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related degree field and five (5) years of progressive experience in a related occupation. Employer will accept any suitable combination of education, training or experience.
