General Summary:
As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, 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.
Design adaptive power management controller, on-chip sensor controller and digital power meter.
· Perform RTL design, simulation, synthesis, timing analysis, lint check, clock domain crossing check, conformal low power check, and formal verification for IP blocks.
· Work closely with technology/circuit design team to close IP block specification/requirement.
· Work closely with verification/physical design team to complete the IP design implementation.
· Support SoC team to integrate low power / power management IP solution into wireless SoC chips and front-end design flows.
· Work closely with system/software/test team to enable the low power feature in wireless SoC product.
· Work closely with system/software/test team to enable functional safety feature in automotive SoC product.
· Create/Enhance low power methodologies covering entire design cycle from RTL to GDS. Analyze how a new methodology will affect different phases of the design/verification cycle and work on fixing any issues.
· Provide feedback for low-power chip and system architecture.
· Understand and perform block & chip-level power analysis.
· Understand and create block-level power models.
