I korthet

Qualcomm is looking for Physical Design Engineers to join their SoC and ASIC Design team in San Diego. This role involves contributing to advanced semiconductor technologies and developing leading-edge products, with opportunities to work on floorplanning, CTS, low power implementation, and timing analysis.

Ansvarsområden

Execute and drive all stages of the physical design flow from synthesized netlist to tape-out.
Develop and implement physical design solutions for complex, high-speed, and low-power ASICs and SoCs.
Perform floorplanning, partitioning, power planning, and IR-drop analysis.
Execute placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, timing optimization, and timing closure across Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) scenarios.
Analyze and resolve timing violations, signal integrity issues, crosstalk effects, and physical design rule violations.
Perform RC extraction, physical verification, and formal verification activities.
Implement engineering change orders (ECOs) and support design convergence through sign-off.
Collaborate with architecture, RTL, DFT, verification, and methodology teams to ensure successful project execution.
Contribute to the development of innovative low-power implementation methodologies and customized place-and-route solutions.
Develop automation and productivity tools using scripting languages and software development techniques.
