TL;DR

As a Physical Electrical Analysis Engineer at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., you will join a team dedicated to developing high-performance server CPU solutions. Your role involves conducting comprehensive electrical analyses and ensuring the closure of electrical properties at both block and top levels, including static/dynamic IR assessment, EM analysis, and ESD evaluations. You will develop power grid specifications aligned with SOC objectives and implement these using standard PnR tools. Proficiency in EMIR tools like Redhawk and Voltus, along with scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, and Python, is essential. Experience in large-scale design and collaboration with cross-functional teams, particularly the PI team for PDN performance enhancement, will be crucial. This role requires an MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of experience and expertise in power grid solutions and system-level PDN knowledge.
