About the Role

Oversees architecture, design, verification, and performance analysis for Digital Signal Processor (DSP) development for Qualcomm Mobile, Machine Learning, Automotive, IoT, and other products. Determines processor architecture, micro-architecture, logic design, verification, and all performance and power aspects. Applies high-performance microprocessor design concepts including multi-core, multi-threaded, out-of-order, cache memory, high-speed ALU, and advanced low power design. Evaluates all aspects of the design process from instruction set architecture to implementation. Custom instruction set is needed to achieve industry-leading results in machine learning and modem. Applies tools and techniques to evaluate design tradeoffs and verify design correctness. Uses system tools such as architectural simulators, digital design simulators and emulators, test generators, and design synthesis.

Responsibilities

Influences the organization by sharing a strategic vision and develops methodologies as a domain expert; directs and coordinates works across organizational teams to achieve corporate goals and develop highly complex blocks, features, architecture, plans, schedules, and/or tests to ensure desired quality and design completeness, functionality, power, performance, and timing standards; recommends and drives improvements.
Applies deep and broad knowledge when leading a team to anticipate and identify highly complex architecture and design problems and provides innovative recommendations to others for resolution; provides strategic consultation and collaborates with leadership of other teams to develop and execute design plans.
Guides team to leverage research on industry trends, competitors' products, and advances in various engineering fields related to DSP products and technology (e.g., machine learning, modem), shares expertise within and across teams.
Leverages deep technical expertise to identify trends and define future solutions by contributing to discussions on the short- and long-term strategic direction of the product/technology roadmaps.
Guides team members within and across teams to develop clear and detailed technical documentation using written, verbally, and online communications; also reviews documentation and provides feedback to ensure it can be easily understood by a variety of audiences.
