Qualcomm is an American semiconductor and wireless technology company founded in 1985 and headquartered in San Diego, California. It holds foundational patents in CDMA and the 3G, 4G and 5G cellular standards, licensing them to nearly every handset maker in the world, while its chip division designs the Snapdragon platforms that power a large share of Android smartphones, personal computers, wearables and connected cars. The company has been diversifying away from smartphone dependence into automotive digital cockpit and driver assistance systems, industrial internet of things, and on-device AI processing through its Hexagon and Oryon architectures.

Company:

Qualcomm Canada ULC

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering

General Summary:

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm DFT Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/opticalsystems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

OR

Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

New Position

What You'll Do

  • Acting as a member of Qualcomm's central DFT methodology group responsible for developing, maintaining and supporting flows across all company business units and projects
  • Architecting methodologies and flows for an integrated, RTL centric "shift left" DFT environment across company IPs, ASICs and SoC designs.
  • Writing and automating RTL for advanced DFT and DFD features not currently supported by the EDA vendors
  • Developing automated verification test bench and sequence creation for DFT IP. Architecting end-2-end verification solutions from static design checks, through formal and sequence-based verification.
  • Building IP/block and SoC level scan insertion flows and scripting ATPG retargeting procedures. Creating automated QoR checks for implementation quality control.
  • Writing static timing constraints, creating waivers and devising flows for bullet proof timing checks.

What You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering science, Electrical and Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • 10+ years of experience in complex SoC designs in RTL, DFT or FE capacity. Candidates with less experience may be considered for other senior technical roles.
  • Vast experience with various DFT EDA tools from Siemens, SNPS and Cadence
  • Good knowledge and understanding in Verilog/VHDL and SystemVerilog
  • Exposure to CAD and automation. Good exposure for using de-Perl techniques in creating generic codes. Knowledge of TCL and Python is a plus.
  • Extensively experienced with main DFT standards such as JTAG (1149.1/1149.6/1500), iJTAG (1687) and BIST techniques (memory BIST, logic BIST, interconnect BISTs)
  • Track record in integrating custom made DFT logic for complex SoCs (System-On-Chip) and CoWoS (Chip-On-Wafer-On-Substrate) designs is highly desirable.
  • Experience in SoC and IP/Block level scan insertion and ATPG, simulation of zero delay and SDF annotated test sequences.
