In short
Qualcomm is looking for an SOC Platform Architect to define and design Platform infrastructure HW components like Interconnect, System Cache, Memory controllers, and System MMU for next-generation SoCs with ARM Architecture enabled. The role requires a strong background in ASIC design and computer architecture, understanding of HW-SW trade-offs, and the complete silicon HW end-to-end design flow.
Responsibilities
- Define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for high performance, high quality, low power products.
- Work with HW architect to gather and define deployment spec/strategy for the next generation of SOC Infra HW IPs with ARM Architecture enabled and beyond.
- Co-ordinate with domain leads to ensure a robust infrastructure deployment plan based on product requirements.
- Understand HW architecture, HW-SW feature trade-off, and the complete silicon HW end-to-end design flow.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
- OR Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
- Robust understanding of computer architecture.
- Basic understanding of end-end ASIC design flows.
- Knowledge in SOC and Infrastructure IP (NOC, SMMU, Caches) HW architecture.
- Exposure to some form of interconnect protocol.
- Exposure to programming language for automation.
- Ability to quickly react and adapt to changes.
- Excellent communication skills.
Desired Qualifications
- Exposure to Quality of Service, Clocks, Power management, Security and Debug architectures and their respective software interfaces.
