General Summary

This posting is for an existing vacancy.

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.

You will lead and drive physical design implementation for complex, large-scale retimer-class and full-reticle ASIC products in advanced technology nodes. This role requires strong technical leadership to synthesize ambiguous requirements, drive execution across cross-functional teams, and deliver high-quality silicon meeting aggressive power, performance, and area (PPA) targets. Replacement Position

What You'll Do

Lead and execute end-to-end Physical Design flow for SoC and retimer ASICs, including:
- Floorplanning
- Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS)
- Placement & Routing
- Power Delivery Network (PDN)
- Timing analysis and closure
Plan and implement full-chip or hierarchical designs, including full-reticle-scale integration
Drive timing closure across all corners and modes (MMMC), including SI-aware optimization
Perform and review physical verification checks:
- DRC, LVS
- Design-for-manufacturability (DFM)
- Design-for-yield (DFY)
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (front-end, analog/SerDes, DFT, packaging, silicon validation) to ensure design convergence and tapeout readiness
Lead integration of high-speed SerDes macros and mixed-signal IP, ensuring robust floorplan and signal integrity alignment
Drive IR/EM closure, power optimization, and congestion mitigation for large die designs
Provide schedules, risk assessment, and execution tracking to drive successful silicon tapeouts
Act as a strong technical contributor in design reviews and project meetings, influencing architecture and implementation decisions
Develop and improve physical design methodologies and flows to enhance efficiency and scalability

What You'll Need

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of experience, OR Bachelor’s degree and 4+ years of progressive experience in ASIC Physical Design or related domain
Strong experience with:
- End-to-end ASIC Physical Design flow
- Timing closure and signoff methodologies
- Physical verification flows
Hands-on expertise in industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Innovus / Synopsys ICC2)
Solid understanding of:
- Power delivery and reliability (IR/EM)
- Clocking architectures and CTS
- Large-scale SoC integration challenges

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with high-speed SerDes / retimer designs (PAM4-class signaling)
Experience with full-reticle or near-reticle SoC implementation
Familiarity with multi-die / chiplet / advanced packaging architectures
Exposure to data center, networking, or optical connectivity ASICs
Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Tcl)

Key Competencies

Proven ability to lead complex PD execution in high-pressure tapeout environments
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
Ability to synthesize ambiguous or conflicting requirements into execution plans
Effective collaboration across global, cross-functional engineering teams

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

OR

Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

OR

PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
