About the Role

Qualcomm is seeking highly experienced engineering leads to join their Data Center team, which is developing high-performance, energy-efficient server solutions. This role involves architecting and designing complex, high-performance, low-power designs at advanced process nodes, with responsibility for planning and executing projects from concept to commercialization across all engineering teams. The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of semiconductor architecture, design, test, and commercialization of data center SoCs with a large mixed-signal SerDes component.

Responsibilities

Define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for world-class products.
Collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path.
Plan and execute projects through all phases from concept to commercialization across all engineering teams.
Work closely with other cross-functional leads of the product and drive resolution of all engineering issues within and across subsystems and chipset components.
Clearly communicate the engineering status of the project to senior management.
Oversee chipset development and ensure key performance indicators (KPIs) are met, including PPA, schedule, and cost, by working with various domain experts.
Drive resolution of all engineering issues within the chipset and across various functional blocks and components of the chipset.
Identify key risks to the project and mitigate them.
Identify gaps in existing processes and influence the development of new methodologies to ensure product KPIs and specifications are met.
Report periodically to senior management on program status, progress, gaps, and risks.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 7+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
15 years of experience in semiconductor product development (e.g., mixed-signal design, system design, SoC architecture, hardware design and validation, silicon test, SoC firmware development).
More than 10 years of experience in one or more areas of semiconductor product development.
More than 5 years in a technical leadership role.
Expertise in architecting, designing, and/or validating high-performance solutions in multiple functional areas of high performance SoCs (e.g., mixed-signal interfaces including SerDes and DDR, embedded processors, IO chiplets, power management, high-volume manufacturing).
Experience developing high-speed Ethernet or PCIe SerDes IP or SerDes-based Ethernet or PCIe products is preferred.
Experience in one or more aspects of commercializing a chipset (e.g., post-silicon validation, power and thermal convergence, silicon characterization and test, compliance certifications).
Five or more years of experience in engineering trade-off analysis.
Demonstrated track record in hyperscale data center solutions.
Good communication skills.
Ability to work in a dynamic environment with senior engineers and technologists.
Ability to provide supervision to direct and dotted-line reports.
Significant decision-making ability that affects work beyond the immediate work group.
Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information.
May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
High degree of influence over key organizational decisions.
Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
