Staff/Sr. Staff RTL Design Engineer - QGOV

QualcommSan Diego, CA
$147,600 - $246,000Onsite

About The Position

As a Design Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping cutting-edge digital designs. Your responsibilities will include: Micro-Architecture: Designing micro-architecture for both simple and complex digital, interface blocks. RTL Development: Developing RTL (Register Transfer Level) code using industry best practices. This includes handling multi-clock designs, high-frequency requirements, low power, and low latency considerations while ensuring high performance. Debugging and Post-Silicon Bring-Up: Troubleshooting and debugging issues during the development process and supporting post-silicon bring-up activities. Documentation: Creating comprehensive design documentation to ensure clarity and maintainability. Design Optimization: Optimizing designs for key metrics such as area, power, and performance. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including DFT (Design for Testability), Implementation, Verification, Emulation, and Firmware teams. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to receive a U.S. Government security clearance.

Requirements

  • 6-10+ years of work experience with RTL/FPGA design (Verilog, System verilog), embedded system architecture and Verification
