Description
Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering General Summary: General Summary Join Qualcomms Wireless IP team to design and develop cutting-edge RTL for next-generation cellular and Wi-Fi modem IPs used in mobile, wearable, and IoT platforms. You will work on high-performance, low-power digital designs across the full VLSI development cycle"”from architecture and micro-architecture to RTL implementation and SoC integration. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with global teams and contribute to market-leading wireless solutions. Key Responsibilities Design and implement RTL for wireless modem IPs and SoC subsystems using Verilog/SystemVerilog. Develop micro-architecture specifications and deliver high-quality, synthesizable RTL. Integrate complex subsystems into SoC environments and support design convergence. Collaborate with system architects, verification, SoC, software, DFT, and physical design teams. Apply low-power design techniques including clock gating, power gating, and multi-voltage domains. Analyze and optimize for performance, area, and power. Ensure protocol compliance and performance of interconnects, buses (AXI, AHB, APB), and bridges. Conduct CDC and lint checks using tools like Spyglass and resolve waivers. Participate in post-silicon debug and bring-up activities. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field. Preferred Skills & Experience 2"“15 years of experience in digital front-end ASIC/RTL design. Strong expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL coding and micro-architecture development. Familiarity with wireless protocols such as IEEE 802.11 (a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), LTE, or 5G NR is highly desirable. Solid understanding of bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and bridge logic. Experience with wireless modem IPs or similar high-performance digital blocks is a plus. Familiarity with low-power design methodologies and CDC handling. Hands-on experience with tools like Spyglass, 0-in, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, and simulation environments. Exposure to post-silicon debug and SoC integration challenges. Strong documentation and communication skills. Self-motivated with a collaborative mindset and ability to work with minimal supervision. Minimum Qualifications Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, VLSI, Communications, or related field. Proven experience in RTL design and SoC development.
