RTL(NOC)Design-Sr Lead/Staff

About the Role

As a Hardware Engineer at Qualcomm, 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 to launch cutting-edge, world-class products. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage advanced Hardware knowledge and experience to plan, optimize, verify, and test critical electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems.
• Integrate complex features and functionality into hardware designs in line with proposals or roadmaps for complex products.
• Conduct complex simulations and analyses of designs, and implement designs with the best power, performance, and area.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., design, verification, validation, software and systems engineering, architecture development teams) to implement new requirements and incorporate the latest test solutions in the production program to improve yield, test time, and quality.
• Evaluate, characterize, and develop novel manufacturing solutions for leading-edge products in the most advanced processes and bring-up product to meet customer expectations and schedules.
• Evaluate reliability of critical materials, properties, and techniques and bring innovation, automation, and optimization to maximize productivity.
• Evaluate complex design features to identify potential flaws, compatibility issues, and/or compliance issues.
• Write detailed technical documentation for complex Hardware projects.

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 the immediate work group.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information, potentially including negotiation and influence.
• Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions.
