Qualcomm's Mixed-Signal PHY design team is actively looking for analog and mixed-signal circuit designer to work on Ser Des PHY designs. This designer will be involved in delivering next-generation PHY designs for SoCs and will be part of a growing team involved in architecture analysis in leading-edge CMOS process technology nodes at 7nm and beyond. Design goals also include low-power analog designs to address Qualcomm's wireline interface need.

The primary responsibility of this position entails working within a team to deliver analog and mixed-signal transistor level circuit designs along with supervising physical layouts of the high speed, low-power PHY Ser Des blocks.

Experience with >32

Gbps transceiver or clocking design is highly desired.

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with 2+ years of experience with analog or mixed-signal integrated circuit design in nanometer planar CMOS or FinFET and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, or related work experience.
• PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience using one or more design tools (CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL).

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal integrated CMOS circuit design for a specific area (e.g., VCO, PLL, and DLL design, Audio CODEC and Class D Audio amplifier design, Delta-Sigma, SAR ADCs, Current-Steering DACs, high speed DDR PHYs, high-speed SERDES).

• Uses appropriate tools or databases to contribute to architecture and circuit designs for one or more blocks; participates in design reviews.
• Works with layout teams to oversee block-level layout of one or more blocks.
• Defines and runs own simulations and analyses (e.g., power, performance) on designs; documents and utilizes results to improve and verify designs.
• Programs and runs tests to identify bugs in own work and helps more junior team members with the same; debugs most issues and escalates highly complex issues.
• Consults with internal or external users as directed to assist with implementation and achieve goal alignment.
• Maintains understanding of one's technical domain and builds understanding of other domains to ensure integration with different components.
• Writes detailed technical documentation and design descriptions to guide users and/or customers.
• Collaborates with team members to generate ideas.

• Working under some supervision.
• Taking responsibility for own work and making decisions with limited impact; impact of decisions is readily apparent; errors made typically only impact timeline.
• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information about day-to-day activities to others who are fully knowledgeable in the subject area.
• Working within prescribed budget and resources.
• Completing most tasks with multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively; mistakes may result in some rework.
• Exercising creativity to draft original documents, imagery, or work products within established guidelines.
• Using deductive problem solving to solve moderately complex problems; most problems have defined processes of diagnosis/detection; some limited data analysis may be required.
• May be solicited during strategic planning period.

• Providing supervision/guidance to others.
• Influence over key organizational decisions.
