CPU Physical Design Engineer (Lead/Staff/Sr. Staff)

Overview

Plan, design, optimize and verify electronic systems as a CPU Physical Design Engineer, working on RTL-to-GDSII implementation and timing signoff for high-speed cores at Qualcomm.

What you'll do

• Lead block-level or chip-level Physical Design, STA and PDN activities.
• Work independently across RTL to GDSII implementation.
• Collaborate to resolve issues with constraints validation, verification, STA and physical design.
• Handle technical deliveries with a small team of engineers.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• Masters/Bachelors Degree in Electrical/Electronics science engineering with at least 5 years of experience in physical design.
• Experience in physical design and timing signoff for high speed cores.
• Good exposure to high frequency design convergence for physical design with PPA targets and PDN methodology.
• Experience in leading block level or chip level Physical Design, STA and PDN activities.
• Ability to work independently in the areas of RTL to GDSII implementation.
• Ability to collaborate and resolve issues with constraints validation, verification, STA and physical design.
• Knowledge of low power flow (power gating, multi-Vt flow, power supply management etc.).
• Circuit level comprehension of time critical paths in the design.
• Understanding of deep sub-micron design problems and solutions (leakage power, signal integrity, DFM etc.).
• Tcl/Perl scripting.
• Willingness to handle technical deliveries with a small team of engineers.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
