Senior Engineer ( RTL/FPGA System Design)
Description For Senior Engineer ( RTL/FPGA System Design)
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 Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, 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 that launch cutting-edge, world class products.
This role focuses on working with Emulation Platforms (FPGA Prototyping, Veloce, Palladium), Emulation tools (Synthesis, Place and Route, Constraints, Clocking), and System Debug (Waveform generation and Content Debug support). You'll be involved in SoC Functionality (CPU/DSP Core, Multimedia, IO, Peripherals, DDR, Modem, Bus Protocols), developing synthesizable models for certain IPs to speed up emulation deployment, participating in developing methodologies for SoC design, and contributing towards the continuous development of Tools, Technology and Flows.
The ideal candidate should have 2-5 years of experience working in emulation and silicon environments, with knowledge in areas such as emulation environments for pre-silicon prototyping, designing synthesizable models, LPDDR3/4 or PCDDR, System Verilog & UVM, debug tools including JTAG and kernel debuggers, ARM CPU and SoC architectures, validation and debug of digital circuits, and proficiency in scripting languages like Python and TCL.
Qualcomm offers a supportive, inclusive culture where your ideas have the power to contribute to world-changing innovations and breakthrough technologies. You'll have access to continuous learning and development programs, tuition reimbursement, and mentorships to tap into your limitless potential. The company also provides comprehensive, best-in-class benefits offerings to enhance your quality of life.
Join Qualcomm to be part of a team that impacts lives around the globe through innovative technology solutions.
