Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering

General Summary

Qualcomm's Analog Mixed-Signal IP (MSIP) team is currently seeking talented analog / mixed-signal designer engineers to work on Rx / Tx IO blocks, DLL, clocking and next-generation high frequency related circuits. You will be directly involved in delivering next-generation analog/mixed-signal block designs for our DDR and Chip-to-Chip PHY team and will be part of a growing team involved in architecture analysis in leading-edge FinFET and Gate-All-Around (GAA) process technology nodes at 2nm and beyond. Design goals include low-power and high speed analog mixed-signal designs for a wide array of Snapdragon SoC products.

Responsibilities

• Architecture, design and development of high-speed mixed-signal circuits for LPDDR5, LPDDR6 and next-generation LPDDR systems
• Custom blocks include high-speed Rx / Tx, clock distribution, clocking delay elements (DLL/PLL), references blocks and band-gap circuits
• Circuit design for next-generation chip-to-chip architectures
• Custom schematic capture, SPICE analysis and exhaustive pre-silicon validation
• Post-silicon bringup support and system enablement
• Working closely with the Analog Mask Layout and Physical Design teams to deliver IP on the latest technology nodes

• Experience in designing op-amps, bandgaps, differential amplifiers, VCO, PLL, DLL
• Experience in high-speed DDR, SerDes or IO block level designs such as transmitters, receivers, high speed VGA, CTLE, CDR, etc.
• Understanding of signal integrity in high-speed wireline design is preferred
• Scripting and GenAI experience to automate circuit design and verification work is preferred
• Full-custom analog layout techniques and the ability to take a design and complete the layout extract verification and sign-off
• Excellent communication skills and ability to contribute strongly within a high-performance team

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
• 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• Ph.D. in Science, Engineering, or related field.
