In short
Qualcomm is seeking a highly motivated Senior Lead RTL Design Engineer with over 5 years of experience in front-end ASIC/SoC design. Responsibilities include micro-architecture development, RTL implementation, and quality signoff activities such as Lint and CDC analysis. Collaboration with architecture, verification, DFT, and physical design teams is essential for delivering high-quality silicon.
Responsibilities
- Develop detailed micro-architecture specifications from high-level architectural requirements.
- Design and implement synthesizable RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Participate in design reviews and ensure design quality and compliance with coding guidelines.
- Perform RTL quality checks including Lint, CDC/RDC analysis and closure, and FSM and structural checks.
- Develop and maintain design documentation including micro-architecture and interface specifications.
- Work closely with verification teams to define verification plans and resolve functional issues.
- Support synthesis, timing analysis, and timing closure activities.
- Develop and review SDC constraints for block-level and subsystem-level designs.
- Analyze and debug issues across simulation, synthesis, and implementation stages.
- Collaborate with DFT and physical design teams for successful integration and tapeout.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC front-end design.
- Strong knowledge of digital design fundamentals.
- Hands-on expertise in RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Hands-on expertise in micro-architecture definition and documentation.
- Hands-on expertise in Lint tools (SpyGlass, Questa Lint, or equivalent).
- Hands-on expertise in CDC/RDC tools (SpyGlass CDC, Questa CDC, or equivalent).
- Good understanding of clocking architectures, reset strategies, and low-power design concepts.
- Experience debugging RTL and simulation issues.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with synthesis flows using Design Compiler, Genus, or equivalent tools.
- Experience creating and reviewing timing constraints (SDC).
- Understanding of timing analysis concepts including setup/hold, clock domain crossings, and timing closure.
- Exposure to DFT methodologies and integration.
- Knowledge of low-power design techniques (UPF/CPF).
- Experience with complex SoC/IP development and integration.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
- Ability to work independently and drive block ownership.
- Strong collaboration skills across architecture, verification, and physical design teams.
- Experience working on high-performance CPU, DSP, AI/ML, networking, multimedia, or connectivity IPs.
- Scripting knowledge in Python, Perl, or TCL for automation and flow enhancement.
Benefits
- Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
- Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process for individuals with disabilities.
- Qualcomm is committed to making our workplace accessible for individuals with disabilities.
