Staff Memory Controller Architecture and Design Engineer

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering 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. 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. Preferred Qualifications: •    Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. •    6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience. •    2 + years of experience with architecture and design tools . •    2 + years of experience with scripting tools and programming languages . •    2 + years of experience with design verification methods. •    1 + year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above). Principal Duties & Responsibilities: •    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. Level of Responsibility: •    Works independently with minimal supervision. •    Provides supervision/guidance to other team members. •    Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group. •    Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.  •    Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions). •    Tasks do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
