Job
Description
Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering General Summary: Qualcomm's Bangalore WLAN PHY (Baseband) team is seeking VLSI Digital Design Engineers to lead IP development for the latest WiFi standards. Our WLAN PHY team, comprised of highly passionate and seasoned domain experts, prides itself on years of experience in taking WLAN PHY designs from concept to silicon independently. WLAN PHY team is responsible for delivering the end-to-end Tx/Rx DSP chains- all the way from antenna samples post ADC to raw bits for upper layers and on the reverse path from raw bits to DAC. The team specializes in working with challenges of practical high-speed wireless communication systems and finding innovative solutions to counter them. The team works extensively on typical signal processing functions like filters, matrix transformations (e.g.QR, Cholesky decomposition), channel estimation, equalization (MMSE, MRC, ML), decoders/encoders (e.g.LDPC, Viterbi) , demodulators, FFT etc. on a day-to-day basis, and contributes to the development/ enhancement/ evaluation of signal processing algorithms to cater to new requirements. We are looking for someone as passionate as us and takes pride in their work. WiFi's ubiquity in modern times is undeniable, and the IEEE 802.11 Working Group is continually developing new standards to satisfy the growing demand for high throughput and low-latency real-time applications, such as VR and AR. Qualcomm is at the forefront of the WiFi revolution, aiming to become the global leader in WiFi chip solutions. The WLAN PHY team in Bangalore is instrumental in realizing this vision. : Looking for a candidate with 1 to 3 years of hands-on experience in micro-architecting and developing complex IPs. Expertise in digital design, VLSI concepts, and experience in creating power/area-efficient IPs across multiple clock domains are essential. Proficiency in RTL coding and familiarity with RTL QA flows such as PLDRC, CDC, and CLP (optional) is expected. Candidates should be capable of proposing design alternatives to meet area/power/performance specifications and presenting these options for review. Experience in leading, guiding, or managing junior team members is advantageous. Repeated success in taking IP designs from requirements to silicon is required. While not mandatory, having developed IPs for wireless technologies (WLAN, LTE, NR, BT, UWB, etc.) or past HLS experience would be beneficial. Skills: Must have: Proficient in Verilog RTL coding, uArch, CDC check, PLDRC, Timing constraints, Python/Perl. Experience in design/debugging complex data-path/control-path IPs. Good communication, analytical & leadership skills. Good to have: System Verilog, Visio, Knowledge of signal processing concepts/algorithms and Wi-Fi standards (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), experience with HLS. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
