Synthesis Engineer, Staff

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

Role: Hardware Engineer (Physical Synthesis/Timing)

Key Responsibilities & Expertise

• Should have strong understanding and in-depth knowledge of Physical Synthesis and Synthesis methodologies with leading industry standard tools.
• Experience with writing timing constraints for synthesis, STA (Static Timing Analysis), timing closure and pipelining at different levels for performance optimization and timing closure.
• Experience in all aspects of timing closure for multi-clock domain designs.
• Should be familiar with MCMM (Multi-Corner Multi-Mode) synthesis and optimization.
• Should have good understanding of low-power design implementation using UPF (Unified Power Format).
• Should be able to work independently with design, DFT (Design-for-Test) and PD (Physical Design) team for netlist delivery, timing constraints validation.
• Should be able to handle ECOs (Engineering Change Orders) and formal verification and maintain high quality matrix.

Required Skills

• Experience with scripting language such as Perl/Python, TCL.
• Experience with different power optimization flows or techniques such as clock gating.
