Job Description: Onsite critical We'd like to see someone with design, schematics and layout experience including high speed SERDES (8GHz+ speeds) and DDR3 or DDR4 experience as a strong nice to have. They should be familiar with PCB stack-ups to support high speed designs, with stacked micro-via technology. They should have either Mentor or Cadence experience, with Mentor being a strong plus. They should have good documentation skills, including writing HLD (High Level Design) documents. They should have strong debug and board bring up skills and preferably DVT (Design Verification Test) planning and execution experience and documentation. Knowledgeable in power supply design as well as understanding PDN (Power Distribution Network) layout techniques. General Summary Plans, designs, and develops electronic systems, circuits, components, integrated circuitry, mechanical systems, equipment and packaging, optical systems, and/or DSP systems. Conducts simulations and analyses of designs. Develops emulation solutions. Evaluates, characterizes, and develops the manufacturing solution for leading-edge products in the most advanced processes. Interfaces with various cross-functional teams (e.g. Designers, Software/System Engineering, Architecture Development, Business Groups, Customers, Customer Engineering) to drive and incorporate the latest test solutions in the production program to improve the yield, test time, and quality. Evaluates reliability of materials, properties, and techniques used in production. Responsibilities Working under some supervision. Making decisions that are moderate in impact; errors may have relatively minor financial impact or effect on projects, operations, or customer relationships; errors may require involvement beyond immediate work group to correct. Using verbal and written communication skills to convey information that may be somewhat complex to others who may have limited knowledge of the subject in question. Having a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to provide input on key decisions). Completing tasks with multiple steps that 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 and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or incomplete; intermediate data analysis/interpretation skills may be required. May be solicited during strategic planning period. Principal Duties & Responsibilities Develops basic to moderately complex features and components of hardware designs in line with product proposals or roadmaps, with minimal supervision from more experienced engineers. Applies basic design rules and processes for electronic hardware, equipment, and/or integrated circuitry independently. Reads device specification sheets and interprets common details required to design various hardware features. Identifies basic ways to optimize tests and/or hardware designs by evaluating device performance over a limited range of operating conditions and configurations. Assists in the assessment of complex design features to identify potential flaws (e.g., electrical, mechanical, hardware), compatibility issues, and/or compliance issues with minimal supervision of more experienced engineers. Documents essential details about materials, components, chipsets, and assemblies for a device; records and tracks changes to design accurately. Troubleshoots common issues with product designs, suggests possible solutions, and documents lessons learned. Provides basic technical input and support for internal customers, with some supervision from more experienced engineers. Acts as a tech lead on small projects with minimal guidance from more experienced engineers and owns the outcome of the project. Seeks to continually learn about Qualcomm products.
