As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm CPU Engineer, you will lead innovative Central Processing Unit (CPU) design efforts that have a critical impact on industries across the world. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, verify, and implement multi-core CPU operations for all Qualcomm Business Units.
Preferred Qualifications:
? Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
? 10+ years of work experience with high-performance microprocessor design.
? 10+ years of work experience with high level programming (e.g., C, C++), scripting language programming (e.g., Perl, Python, etc.).
? 10+ years of work experience with simulators and/or waveform debugging tools (e.g., Verilog, VHDL, etc.).
? 10+ years of work experience with industry standard tools for synthesis place and/or route and design verification.
? 10+ years of work experience with simulation, emulation, formal verification, or silicon validation.
? 10+ years of experience in creating functional models, checkers, test plans, and/or test generation.
? 3+ years experience working in a large matrixed organization.
? 1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director level and above).
Principal Duties and Responsibilities:
? Leverages advanced knowledge of computer architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, circuits, and/or physical design to develop and verify critical high performance and low power CPU designs.
? Anticipates, identifies, and solves highly complex problems to ensure design completeness, functionality, power, and performance.
? Collaborates with cross-functional teams to define requirements, specifications, and trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, cost, functionalities, etc.) in order to accomplish product goals.
? Evaluates all aspects of the design process from conceptualization to productization (i.e., architecture definition, feasibility, pre-silicon design and verification, and post-silicon validation) that meet customer and industry standards.
? Writes detailed technical documentation (e.g., feature descriptions, architectural descriptions, verification test plans, and implementation details, etc.) for highly complex CPU designs; reviews documentation of junior engineers.
Level of Responsibility:
? Works independently with minimal supervision.
? Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
? Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group.
? Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
? Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions.
? Tasks do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
