In short
Qualcomm is seeking an experienced analog circuit designer with 8+ years of experience to work on high-speed SerDes PHYs for next-generation SoCs. The role involves designing low-power analog circuits, including building blocks and PLLs, and requires hands-on experience from schematic design to post-silicon bring-up. Collaboration with cross-functional teams is essential for this position.
Responsibilities
- Directly involved in delivering next-generation custom PHY designs for SoCs.
- Part of a growing team involved in architecture analysis in leading-nodes - finfets & beyond.
- Design goals include low-power analog designs to address Qualcomm's low-power wireless products.
- Hands-on experience in Analog circuit design, including designing multiple analog building blocks (LDO, high speed TX and RX, Bias, Reference).
- Experience with Analog and/or Digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and/or SerDes applications (Charge pump, loop filter, VCO/DCO, PFD/TDC, high speed dividers).
- Experience with PLL Loop Dynamics, Jitter sources and modeling (RJ & DJ).
- Ability to take a design, perform schematic to post layout verification, integration sign-off to post silicon bring up.
- Work closely with RTL, DD, PD, DV and SoC verification teams to integrate the PHY.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
- Experienced (8+ years) analog circuit designers.
- Experience in designing multiple analog building blocks - LDO, high speed TX and RX (Equalizer, Sampler, PI, Deserializer etc) , Bias, Reference etc.
- Experience with Analog and or Digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and/or SerDes applications
- Ability to take a design, perform schematic to post layout verification, integration sign-off to post silicon bring up.
- Work closely with RTL, DD, PD, DV and SoC verification teams to integrate the PHY.
- For lead position, candidates must have performed PHY Lead roles which include PHY integration to SOC & interaction with post silicon teams like HSIO, ATE, SVE, CE etc.
- Understanding of advance Finfet process effects on designs and layout is required.
- Experience in using SPICE simulators, adexl & virtuoso.
- Experience with post-Si bring-up and debug is must.
- Master/Bachelor in Electronics
- Shell/Perl-python scripting to automate circuit design and verification work.
- Able to work with teams across the globe and possess good communication and presentation skills.
Desired Qualifications
- Mixed signal design experience
- Good understanding on peripheral PHYs (USBs, UFS, PCIe) protocols is added advantage.
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.
