In short

Qualcomm is seeking an experienced Camera Frontend Implementation Engineer in Vancouver, BC, to lead the frontend implementation of complex Camera-ISP designs in advanced technology nodes. This role involves achieving aggressive power, performance, and area (PPA) targets through hands-on ownership of large-block synthesis, optimization, and close collaboration with engineering teams to ensure successful tapeouts.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute the RTL-to-Physical Design frontend flow for Camera ISP designs.
  • Perform logic synthesis and optimization, static timing analysis (STA), and timing constraint development and validation.
  • Drive formal verification (LEC/FV) and low-power implementation and verification.
  • Execute physical-aware synthesis and implementation, and support placement-and-routing convergence.
  • Implement and close functional and timing ECOs.
  • Collaborate with Front-end Design, DFT, and Physical Design teams to achieve design convergence and tapeout readiness.
  • Develop schedules, assess risks, and track execution to support successful silicon tapeouts.
  • Contribute technical leadership in design reviews and project discussions, helping shape architecture and implementation decisions.
  • Develop and improve synthesis and physical-design methodologies and flows for greater efficiency and scalability.
  • Generate and verify ECOs for functional and timing fixes, working closely with the physical design team.
  • Strong scripting skills to automate flows, improve productivity, and support analysis/debug (e.g., for synthesis, STA, ECO, and verification workflows).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong technical knowledge.
  • Hands-on ownership of large-block synthesis and optimization.
  • Close collaboration across engineering teams.
  • Strong scripting skills to automate flows, improve productivity, and support analysis/debug (e.g., for synthesis, STA, ECO, and verification workflows).

Benefits

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