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. As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will 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 world class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path.

This is a design position in the I/O Pad design team working on delivering quality low power I/O IP in state of art CMOS/FinFET technology nodes for Qualcomm’s advanced mobile baseband, Auto, IOE/IOT & consumer products. Join QCT’s IP team in designing and implementing I/Os for Qualcomm’s next generation chipsets. The team is responsible for the complete design lifecycle, from system-level concept to tape out and post-silicon support, of advanced digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs in advanced CMOS/FinFET processes.

Responsibilities

• Mixed-signal transistor level circuit design for General Purpose I/O (GPIO) and Custom I/Os, including specialty I/O such as eMMC, SDC, I2C, RGMII, LVDS, SLIMBus, RFFE, SPMI
• Soundwire and multi-level voltage I/Os using low voltage transistors. Circuit design & Simulations for I/O circuitry
• Work with layout, packaging and system engineers to meet design specifications.
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  
  

OR

Master’s degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

OR

PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

Qualifications
