In short
Qualcomm is seeking an experienced CPU System Architect to design next-generation CPU systems. This role involves architecting and microarchitecting complex, high-performance, low-power designs, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize PPA and thermal efficiency. Requires a Master's degree and 12+ years of experience in CPU RTL or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Architect and microarchitect next-generation CPU systems.
- Collaborate with other CPU and SoC architects, Software and Firmware teams to optimize PPA and thermal efficiency.
- Develop High-Level Architecture and Micro-Architecture specifications.
- Prepare and present clear and comprehensive technical documentation.
- Work with chip architects to understand architecture concept and high-level system requirements.
- Take on a leadership role in developing the micro-architecture and design of high-performance CPU systems.
- Collaborate with HW, SW and FW architects to develop an optimal end-to-end CPU System architecture.
Requirements
- Master’s degree in computer or electrical engineering with 12+ years of experience in CPU RTL or a related field
- Deep knowledge of microprocessor architecture, with expertise in one or more of the following areas: CPU system features (interconnect protocols, timer synchronization, interrupt controller, configuration access protocols, RAS and safety mechanisms), Architecture and performance monitoring, telemetry architecture, Power management (idle and Active power management strategies, limit management including thermal mitigation and clock architecture), Debug/trace architecture, scan-dump, and memory dump mechanisms.
- Excellent technical documentation skills, along with strong written and verbal communication abilities.
- Understanding of various Software and Firmware control loops and building system level solutions.
- Solid understanding of logic design principles, including timing and power implications.
Desired Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science or electrical engineering.
- Familiarity with CPU architecture and ISA.
- 12+ years’ experience in CPU/SoC architecture.
- Understanding of low-power microarchitecture techniques and system constraints (over-current, TDP, voltage droop and mitigation).
- Experience developing solutions for performance and power telemetry.
- Understanding of Debug, trace and RAS architectures.
- Knowledge of high-performance design strategies and trade-offs in CPU microarchitecture.
Benefits
- Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
- Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
- Highly competitive benefits package designed to support your success at work, at home, and at play.
- Access to detailed US benefits information.
