In short
Qualcomm is seeking a Senior RTL Design Engineer in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, to integrate complex SoC and subsystem designs. This role involves RTL integration, design-quality assessment, synthesis, and front-end readiness for downstream implementation and verification.
Responsibilities
- Integrate RTL from multiple IPs, subsystems, and reusable design components into SoC-level and subsystem-level designs.
- Develop and maintain top-level RTL wrappers, hierarchy, interconnect, connectivity, clock and reset structures, interrupt paths, and configuration logic.
- Work with standard SoC interfaces and protocols, including AXI, AHB, APB, memory, debug, interrupt, clock, reset, and power-management interfaces.
- Coordinate IP releases, integration dependencies, file lists, manifests, parameters, build configurations, and design collateral.
- Run and debug RTL compile/elaboration, lint, CDC, RDC, structural checks, formal connectivity, and synthesis flows.
- Prepare RTL, constraints, libraries, and configuration inputs for synthesis and downstream physical implementation.
- Analyze synthesis reports for timing, area, power, high-fanout, unmapped logic, inferred structures, unconnected signals, and design-rule issues.
- Collaborate with physical design teams to resolve critical paths, timing-convergence issues, congestion risks, and implementation constraints.
- Support functional equivalence, gate-level simulation, emulation, FPGA, ECO, and design-release readiness activities.
- Investigate failures across RTL, tools, constraints, configuration, and build environments; identify root cause and drive corrective action.
- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, integration reviews, methodology improvements, and technical documentation activities.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 3+ years of relevant work experience in RTL design, SoC integration, synthesis, ASIC/FPGA development, or a related area.
- Experience with Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL development and hierarchical design integration.
- Experience with RTL simulation, compilation/elaboration, lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, or equivalent front-end design flows.
- Knowledge of digital design fundamentals, timing concepts, clock/reset design, bus protocols, and hardware/software interfaces.
- Ability to analyze technical problems, communicate root cause clearly, and work effectively in a distributed, cross-functional team.
- Experience with Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell, or similar scripting for flow automation, quality checks, reporting, and build management.
- Experience with internal or commercial EDA tools for simulation, lint, CDC, synthesis, formal verification, and implementation handoff.
Desired Qualifications
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Experience integrating complex SoCs, subsystems, infrastructure IP, NoC/interconnect, memory, debug, security, or power-management logic.
- Hands-on experience with synthesis, timing constraints, timing analysis, area/power optimization, formal equivalence, ECO, or gate-level simulation.
- Experience with low-power design concepts, power intent, isolation, retention, multi-voltage design, clock-domain crossings, or reset-domain crossings.
- Knowledge of SoC release QA, connectivity signoff, design documentation, and reusable IP/subsystem delivery processes.
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous technical problems across organizational boundaries.
Benefits
- Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
- Qualcomm is committed to providing an accessible process for individuals with disabilities.
- Qualcomm is also committed to making our workplace accessible for individuals with disabilities.
