PMIC Reference HW Design Engineer

The QCT PMIC Systems group at Qualcomm is seeking a PMIC Reference HW Design Engineer to lead the design and optimization of PMIC PCB for Qualcomm chipset-based phone designs. This role focuses on creating design guidelines, schematics, layouts, and thermal solutions for test platforms and customer reference designs.

• Design customer reference boards and evaluation kits, collaborating with PMIC IC designers and Test HW platform teams to optimize performance and cost.
• Develop and publish PMIC PCB design guidelines, schematics, BOM selection, and PCB layouts in coordination with CAD engineers.
• Conduct board-level simulations using Power Integrity and Signal Integrity tools to review and approve hardware designs from various test teams.
• Characterize and publish performance and cost-optimized reference BOM lists based on component characterization and optimization tests.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 5 years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 4 years, or a PhD with 2 years of experience.
• 2 years of experience with IC design tools, PCB design tools, SPICE, MATLAB, Verilog/VHDL, C, or Python.

• Experience with common lab test equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, etc.).
• Knowledge of Power Management PCB design and component selection, including CAD interface.
• Familiarity with high layer count multilayer boards (6/8/10 layers).
• Understanding of Signal and Power Integrity issues and ability to use simulators like powerSI, SIWave, or Ansys.
