DSP Micro-Architect RTL Engineer - ASIC 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. ## Preferred Qualifications - Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. - 6+ months of experience with architecture and design tools. - 6+ months of experience with scripting tools and programming languages. - 6+ months of experience with design verification methods. ## Principal Duties & Responsibilities - Applies ASIC knowledge to assist and support the defining, modeling, designing (digital and/or analog), optimizing, verifying, validating, implementing, and documenting of IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power products. - Assists in the creation of architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and/or system simulations based on system-level requirements. - Collaborates with team members to assist in the development of an implementation strategy that meets system requirements and customer needs. - Supports the evaluation of process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, and 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 architecture and design of a specific part of a block/SoC or IC Package. - Writes technical documentation for EDA/IP/ASIC projects. ## Level of Responsibility - Works under supervision. - Decision-making affects direct area of work and/or work group. - Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information. - Tasks require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
