TL;DR · Careers

As a senior RTL designer on Qualcomm Atheros' Integrated Wireless Technology team, you will be responsible for micro-architecture, RTL design, and development of new functional blocks, as well as subsystem and full-chip integration through the complete ASIC lifecycle from concept to tape-out. You will collaborate closely with other subsystem teams to ensure smooth integration while interfacing with verification, DFT, FPGA emulation, and implementation teams. The role requires expertise in SoC micro-architecture, multi-domain clocking implementation, design linting, CDC analysis, AMBA bus protocols, Python/Perl scripting, and a solid understanding of AI/ML-based design methodologies. Experience with ARM CoreSight architecture, AXI Bus protocol, PCIe, USB peripheral subsystems, low power design, and chip interconnect (NOC) is highly valued in this fast-paced environment focused on cutting-edge WiFi technology and SOC infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop new functional blocks for micro-architecture.
  • Integrate subsystems and full-chip designs through the ASIC lifecycle.
  • Collaborate with verification teams to ensure design quality.
  • Interface with FPGA emulation and implementation teams for integration.
  • Conduct linting and CDC analysis to resolve design violations.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of industry experience in ASIC design and micro-architecture.
  • Hands-on expertise in SoC micro-architecture and multi-domain clocking implementation.
  • Proficiency in Python/Perl and AMBA bus protocols (AHB/APB).
  • Experience with design linting, CDC analysis, and triage/closure of violations.
  • Collaborative work with verification, DFT, FPGA emulation, and implementation teams.
