Company:Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

General Summary:

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives AI (Artificial Intelligence) on the Edge. Moreover, Qualcomm innovates in Automotive technology, Low Power High Performance Compute, communication, and high-end data processing to help create a smarter, greener connected future for all.  in these latest high-end SoCs (System on Chip) designed by Qualcomm, Infra Systems Group provides the necessary and optimized solutions for connecting various best in class IPs like CPU, GPUs, NSPs, Modems and to the latest best in class DDR. As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will plan, define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, Analyze, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power world class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path.

Infra Systems team is actively seeking candidates for special Physical Architecture Engineering positions in our Infra Systems Architecture team. This team designs the best possible and optimized NoC (Network on Chip) which is highly floorplan driven. Also, as a Physical Architect engineer you will design architectures which can be implemented with best PPA. You will also produce custom methodologies best suited for implementing the NoC.

Tasks also involve Architecture, planning, and enablement of the best-in-class NoCs, customized implementation techniques, to achieve best in class latency, area, performance, and power goals. As a Physical Architect the tasks will include analysis, review, and improvement of functional and test (DFT) mode constraints for synthesis and place and route process. Also, should be able to design recipes for physical aware synthesis, special placement strategies, optimal floorplanning, special clocking solutions (like mesh clock tree), power planning and analysis for lower power, optimized special routing techniques for reduced wire delays, timing optimization and closure with signal integrity for MMMC designs. The individual also should have deep knowledge on scripting and software languages including Python, PERL/TCL, Linux/Unix shell and C. This individual will analyze area, latency, timing, and power of the NoCs and estimate/plan physically aware NoC architectures for a more optimal one for the future.
