As a Physical Design Clock Engineer at Qualcomm Technologies, you will collaborate with microarchitecture, RTL design, CAD, and physical design teams to develop cutting-edge clocking solutions for next-generation CPUs. Your daily responsibilities include constructing low skew and low power clock generation and distribution systems, implementing H-tree, mesh, spines, and CTS designs, and conducting SPICE simulations for circuit verification. You will define clock methodologies across various CPU designs, optimize standard cell configurations, and work closely with CAD and block level designers to minimize clock skew and power consumption. Proficiency in deep submicron process technology nodes, PLL specifications, and jitter analysis is essential, as you will drive the overall clock generation methodology and provide critical feedback for design improvements. This role requires a strong background in electrical engineering and extensive experience in chip physical design, making it ideal for those with a passion for advanced semiconductor technologies.
