General Summary :
Join Qualcomm's Hardware Engineering team where innovation meets silicon. In this role, you will contribute to the design and characterization of advanced mixed-signal IPs such as DDRIOs, SERDES, ADCs, DACs, and PLLs. This position focuses on developing Verilog behavioral models and performing accurate timing and power characterization using industry-standard tools. You'll be collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality deliverables for Qualcomm's world-class chipsets.
Key Responsibilities :
- Develop behavioral models (Verilog, Verilog-MS / real, SystemVerilog) for mixed-signal analog IPs such as DDR-MSIP, DDRIOs, SERDES, ADC / DACs, and PLLs.
- Perform timing and power characterization using tools like Silicon Smart, HSPICE, FineSim, and NanoSim.
- Create Liberty (.lib) timing and power models and validate them against transistor-level designs.
- Develop and maintain self-checking testbenches and test plans for model verification.
- Conduct functional analysis and verification of modeled IPs using simulators like VCS.
- Collaborate with AMS teams for analog-digital interface verification and ensure robust modeling practices.
- Automate model generation and verification workflows using Tcl, Perl, or Skill scripting.
- Interface with design and verification teams to ensure model accuracy and completeness.
Minimum Qualifications :
