In short

Qualcomm is seeking a Senior Digital Design Engineer for its GPU Hardware Design team in Greece. The role involves designing and developing high-performance, power-efficient GPU hardware for advanced SoC platforms across the entire RTL development lifecycle, from architecture to post-silicon support. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in digital design and proven RTL development experience.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and integrate synthesizable RTL for GPU and SoC hardware blocks.
Develop efficient and robust digital logic using Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
Design and integrate interfaces based on AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB).
Translate architectural and microarchitectural requirements into maintainable RTL.
Develop control logic, datapaths, register interfaces, arbiters, FIFOs, and pipeline structures.
Collaborate with architecture and design verification teams on interfaces and verification requirements.
Analyze and resolve RTL simulation, lint, CDC, synthesis, timing, and integration issues.
Contribute to power, performance, and area optimization.
Participate in design reviews and technical discussions.
Support IP and SoC integration, including connectivity, clocking, reset, and configuration.
Assist with silicon bring-up and debug activities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
2–3 years of experience in digital design and RTL development.
Hands-on experience with Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
Good understanding of synchronous digital design concepts (finite-state machines, pipelining, clock-domain crossings, reset strategies, FIFO design, arbitration, flow control, timing, handshake behavior).
Practical knowledge of AMBA protocols, particularly AXI and AHB.
Experience developing synthesizable RTL for ASIC or FPGA designs.
Familiarity with RTL simulation and debugging.
Basic understanding of synthesis, lint, CDC, timing, and hardware implementation flows.
Ability to analyze technical specifications and translate them into reliable hardware implementations.
Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and international environment.

Desired Qualifications

Understanding of memory controller designs and microprocessor architectures is an added advantage.
Experience designing hardware for GPUs, CPUs, multimedia, storage, or other high-performance SoC subsystems.
Familiarity with GPU or accelerator architecture and data movement.
Experience with AXI interconnects, AHB-Lite interfaces, register interfaces, clock and reset controllers, low-power design concepts, and performance monitoring.
Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
Experience with industry-standard EDA tools and RTL development flows.

Benefits

Opportunity to work on advanced GPU hardware technologies.
Exposure to the complete ASIC development lifecycle.
Collaboration with experienced architects, designers, verification engineers, and system teams.
A technically challenging and collaborative engineering environment.
Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
Chance to contribute to products used by customers worldwide.
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.
