GENERAL SUMMARY

In this position, you will be working in areas related to QUALCOMM’s DSP core implementation that are used for leading edge products; oversee definition, design, and documentation for ASIC development for a variety of products; determine architecture design, logic design; define module interfaces/formats for simulation; evaluate all aspects of the process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, and timing and power use; uses language such as HDL, C, PERL, tCL, python; and provide technical expertise for next generation initiatives.Responsibilities:• Include various aspects of physical design and implementation of DSP.• Update the flows to best suit the design and make tradeoff for optimum PPA• Perform Place and Route activities for various blocks• Lead the core level timing ECOs • Drive the development of semi-custom design techniques where appropriate to maximize utilization, performance, and power efficiency • Use and extend/enhance design methodologies to achieve the best PPA through scripting• Work independently with little supervision.• Make decisions that are moderate in impact; errors may have financial impact or effect on projects, operations, or customer relationships; errors may require involvement beyond immediate work group to correct. • Use verbal and written communication skills to convey complex and/or detailed information to multiple individuals/audiences with differing knowledge levels. May require strong negotiation and influence, communication to large groups or high-level constituents.• Have a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to provide input on key decisions).• Complete tasks that do not have defined steps; simultaneous use of multiple mental abilities is generally required to determine the best approach; mistakes may result in significant rework.• Exercise substantial creativity to innovate new processes, procedures, or work products within guidelines or to achieve established objectives.• Use deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or conflicting; advanced data analysis and interpretation skills are required.• Occasionally participate in strategic planning within own area affecting immediate operations.• Use tools/applications (i.e., Cadence, RTL Compiler, etc.) to execute advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks and makes suggestions for design protocol. • Develop an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs for team.• Effectively utilize advanced problem solving and ASIC engineering practices to resolve complex architecture, design, or verification problems. • Own the design and verification strategies of ASICs, SoC, and IP cores, reviews the strategies of more junior team members and develops strategies for multiple blocks or IC Packages. • Review complex tests from more junior team members and completes own tests to ensure that bugs are fully understood and analyzed. • Run advanced power checks on multiple blocks to ensure design specifications are met; makes recommendations to leadership when specifications are not met.
