In short

Qualcomm is seeking a firmware developer to enable power management solutions for their SOCs. This role involves collaborating with hardware and firmware teams to manage power distribution and thermal budgets for the Always ON subsystem, as well as characterizing IPs. The position requires strong ASIC knowledge and experience in design, verification, and documentation.

Responsibilities

  • Enablement of power management solution for Qualcomm's SOCs.
  • Collaborate internally to define and implement embedded firmware for managing the Always ON subsystem.
  • Manage distribution of allocated power and thermal budgets.
  • Characterize existing and new IPs.
  • Work closely with hardware power management and firmware development teams on limits management.
  • Engage with third parties on enablement of new platforms.
  • Provide input to SoC and platform architects on future designs.
  • Leverage advanced ASIC knowledge and experience to define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development.
  • Create advanced architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and/or system simulations based on system-level requirements.
  • Collaborate across functional teams (software architecture, hardware architecture, product management, program management) to develop and execute an implementation strategy.
  • Evaluate all aspects of complex process flow from high-level design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use, and verification or similarly for custom circuit design/layout flow.
  • Utilize tools/applications (e.g., RTL to GDS Flow, Virtuoso) to execute and enable advanced architecture and design of multiple complex blocks/SoC or IC Packages.
  • Write and review detailed technical documentation for complex EDA/IP/ASIC projects.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • OR Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • OR PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • Experience with architecture and design tools.
  • Experience with scripting tools and programming languages.
  • Experience with design verification methods.

Desired Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • 1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above).

Benefits

  • Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
  • Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
  • Highly competitive benefits package designed to support success at work, at home, and at play.
