Implementation Timing​/STA Design Engineer

Overview

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. is a leading technology innovator pushing the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drive communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.

The Qualcomm's SoC Implementation Team is looking for skilled engineers to focus on timing constraints development, power analysis, static timing analysis (STA), and timing closure for premium-tier chips. This is an excellent opportunity to join the Snapdragon implementation team, which is responsible for SoCs in sub-3nm nodes across mobile, AI, and automotive sectors. Candidates should have at least 2 years of experience and be proficient with tools such as Primetime, Fishtail/TCM.

Scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, or Python are also desirable.

• Develop constraints for physical power-aware synthesis, setup for various modes/corners and low-power multi-voltage domain crossings, and signoff with static timing analysis.
• Collaborate closely with RTL design and physical design teams to identify timing requirements and bottlenecks.
• Generate, review, and validate clock domain crossing and design constraints to achieve timing closure of complex SoC cores.
• Review and integrate HM constraints into SoC and ensure correlation between HM and SoC timing.
• Analyze timing across modes and corners, understand concepts like path pessimism and margins.

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
