CPU Design - Sr Engineer

Overview

Lead CPU design efforts for multi-core CPU operations across Qualcomm Business Units, collaborating with cross-functional teams from architecture through post-silicon validation.

What you'll do

• Leverage 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.
• Anticipate, identify, and solve complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities) to accomplish product goals.
• Evaluate the design process from conceptualization to productization (architecture definition, feasibility, pre-silicon design and verification, and post-silicon validation) to meet customer and industry standards.
• Write detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details) for complex CPU designs.

What you'll need

• 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, OR 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, OR 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.

Nice to have
