RTL Design (NPU) - Sr Lead

Overview

Hardware engineering role on Qualcomm's Engineering Group team, focused on RTL design for the NPU, at senior lead level.

What you'll do

• Leverage hardware knowledge and experience to plan, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems.
• Integrate features and functionality into hardware designs in line with proposals or roadmaps.
• Conduct complex simulations and analyses of designs, and implement designs with the best power, performance, and area.
• Collaborate with teams (e.g., design, verification, validation, software and systems engineering, architecture development teams, etc.) to implement new requirements and incorporate the latest test solutions in the production program to improve the yield, test time, and quality.
• Evaluate, characterize, and develop manufacturing solutions for leading edge products in the most advanced processes and bring-up product to meet customer expectations and schedules.
• Evaluate reliability of critical materials, properties, and techniques, and bring innovation, automation, and optimization to maximize productivity.
• Evaluate complex design features to identify potential flaws, compatibility issues, and/or compliance issues.
• Write detailed technical documentation for Hardware projects.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

Nice to have
