Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering

In short

As a CPU Engineer at Qualcomm, you will lead innovative Central Processing Unit (CPU) design efforts, impacting industries worldwide. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, verify, and implement multi-core CPU operations, leveraging advanced knowledge of computer architecture and micro-architecture to develop high-performance, low-power CPU designs.

Responsibilities

Leverages advanced knowledge of computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, circuits, and/or physical design to develop and verify high performance and low power CPU designs.
Anticipates, identifies, and solves complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.
Collaborates with cross-functional teams to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities, etc.) in order to accomplish product goals.
Evaluates the design process from conceptualization to productization (i.e., architecture definition, feasibility, pre-silicon design and verification, and post-silicon validation) that meet customer and industry standards.
Writes detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details, etc.) for complex CPU designs.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
6+ years of work experience with high-performance microprocessor design.
6+ years of work experience with high level programming (e.g., C, C++), scripting language programming (e.g., Perl, Python, etc.).
6+ years of work experience with simulators and/or waveform debugging tools (e.g., Verilog, VHDL, etc.).
6+ years of work experience with industry standard tools for synthesis place and/or route and design verification.
6+ years of work experience with simulation, emulation, formal verification, or silicon validation.
6+ years of experience in creating functional models, checkers, test plans, and/or test generation.
2+ years experience working in a large matrixed organization.
1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above).
