General Summary:

Qualcomm’s Design Technology team is seeking a motivated engineer to drive development of advanced methodologies in die-level IR drop, STA, and power. The engineer should be proficient in static timing analysis using the Synopsys Primetime toolset and should have strong coding skills in scripting languages such as Python, TCL, or Perl. Domain knowledge including place and route tools and concepts, power analysis and optimization, and IR drop analysis and optimization is also helpful.

The engineer is expected to propose, develop, and validate new methodologies, engage with vendors, CAD, and design teams, and work collaboratively with worldwide teams.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Develop and drive analysis and optimization methodologies for interaction of IR drop and STA

• Develop physical-aware timing and IR drop ECO solutions

• Collaborate closely with physical design and timing teams to drive methodologies to optimize power and minimize hotspots

• Work with CAD and tool vendors to develop and validate new flows and methodologies

• Work on design power profiling and electromigration analysis

• Develop strategies for 3DIC PDN analysis and signoff

Required Skills and Experience :

• Expertise in static timing analysis . Hands-on experience with Primetime or Tempus

• In-depth knowledge of physical design, preferably but not limited to on-chip power delivery network and power optimization
