In short
Qualcomm is looking for an experienced analog circuit designer with over 8 years of experience to work on high-speed SerDes PHYs for next-generation SoCs. The role involves designing low-power analog circuits, performing schematic to post-layout verification, and collaborating with cross-functional teams for integration and post-silicon bring-up.
Responsibilities
- Design high speed SerDes PHYs for SoCs.
- Architect and design low-power analog circuits for wireless products.
- Design multiple analog building blocks such as LDO, high-speed TX and RX (Equalizer, Sampler, PI, Deserializer etc), Bias, Reference.
- Design Analog and/or Digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and/or SerDes applications.
- 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.
- Perform PHY lead roles including PHY integration to SOC and interaction with post silicon teams like HSIO, ATE, SVE, CE.
- Utilize SPICE simulators, adexl & virtuoso for design and verification.
- Automate circuit design and verification work using Shell/Perl-python scripting.
- Work with teams across the globe and possess good communication and presentation skills.
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.
- 8+ years of experience as an analog circuit designer.
- Experience in designing multiple analog building blocks - LDO, high speed TX and RX (Equalizer, Sampler, PI, Deserializer etc), Bias, Reference etc.
- Experience in Analog and or Digital PLLs for frequency synthesis and/or SerDes applications (Charge pump, loop filter, VCO/DCO, PFD/TDC, high speed dividers).
- Understanding of PLL Loop Dynamics, Jitter sources and modeling (RJ & DJ).
- Ability to take a design from schematic to post layout verification, integration sign-off to post silicon bring up.
- Experience with post-Si bring-up and debug is a must.
- Understanding of advance Finfet process effects on designs and layout is required.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with peripheral PHYs (USBs, UFS, PCIe) protocols is an added advantage.
- Mixed signal design experience is preferred.
- Good communication and presentation skills.
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.
