About the Role

Qualcomm is seeking a SRAM Mask Layout Designer to join its High-performance CPU Team. This role offers the opportunity to work with talented engineers to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency, and scalability in a flexible work environment. The designer will develop block or macro level layouts and floorplans for high performance custom memories according to project requirements, specifications, and design schematics.

Responsibilities

Design layout for custom memories and other digital circuits based on provided schematics.
Read and interpret design rule manuals to create optimal and correct layout.
Own the entire layout process from initial floorplanning to memory construction to physical verification.
Use industry standard verification tools to validate LVS, DRC, ERC etc.
Interpret the results from the verification suite and perform layout fixes as needed.
Provide layout fixes as directed by the circuit design engineers.
Work independently and execute memory layout with little supervision.
Provide realistic schedules for layout completion.
Provide insight into strategic decisions regarding memory layout and area.

Requirements

15+ years of experience and a high school diploma or equivalent OR 12+ years experience and BS in Electrical Engineering OR 10+ years experience and MS in Electrical Engineering
Direct experience with custom SRAM layout
Experience in industry standard custom design tools and flows.
