This designer will be involved in delivering next-generation PHY designs for SoCs and will be part of a growing team involved in architecture analysis in leading-edge CMOS process technology nodes at 7nm and beyond. Design goals also include low-power analog designs to address Qualcomm's wireline interface need.Job DescriptionThe primary responsibility of this position entails working within a team to deliver analog and mixed-signal transistor level circuit designs along with supervising physical layouts of the high speed, low-power PHY SerDes blocks. Experience with >32Gbps transceiver or clocking design is highly desiredAdditional Job DescriptionPreferred Qualifications:•    PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.•    6+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal integrated CMOS circuit design for a specific area (e.g., VCO, PLL, and DLL design, Audio CODEC and Class D Audio amplifier design, Delta-Sigma, SAR ADCs, Current-Steering DACs, high speed DDR PHYs, high-speed SERDES).•    2+ years of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director and above).•    1+ year of experience in a technical leadership role.Principal Duties and Responsibilities: •    Uses advanced tools or databases to lead a chip or IP block and build end-to-end architecture and complex circuit designs for multiple blocks; leads design reviews and provides feedback and guidance to others.   •    Works with layout teams to oversee layout of a chip or IP block.  ·•    Defines verification plan for entire IP or chip and identifies and runs complex simulations and analyses (e.g., power, performance) on designs; documents and utilizes results to improve and verify designs and optimize power, performance, and functionality. •    Designs, programs, and runs complex, comprehensive tests for large subsystems and reviews tests of junior team members; ensures complex bugs and other issues are identified and appropriately analyzed, and identifies solutions or areas of improvement.    •    Establishes rapport with internal or external users, and third-party vendors to align on project and implementation plans and ensure the needs of all stakeholders are met. •    Applies deep understanding across multiple domains to ensure all components will integrate in the broader framework. •    Writes clear and detailed technical documentation and design descriptions for highly complex or difficult projects to guide users and/or customers and assists junior team members to do the same. •    Conducts research on industry trends and innovations in analog or mixed-signal integrated circuit design to understand one's business unit and adopt best practices in solutions and deliverables across the system and encourages others to do the same. •    Leads conversations to generate new ideas and directions to explore for new initiatives; pursues opportunities to plan and develop new ideas.Level of Responsibility:•    Working independently with little supervision. •    Providing supervision to others who may be direct reports. •    Making decisions that are moderate in impact; errors may have relatively minor financial impact or effect on projects, operations, or customer relationships; errors may require involvement beyond immediate work group to correct.  •    Using verbal and written communication skills to convey information that may be somewhat complex to others who may have limited knowledge of the subject in question; may require basic negotiation and influence, cooperation, tact, and diplomacy, etc.  •    Working within prescribed...
