TL;DR

The Design Implementation Engineer role at Qualcomm's Adreno GPU team involves managing front-end implementation design challenges and methodologies to deliver state-of-the-art GPU cores. This hands-on position requires close collaboration with microarchitecture and physical design teams to meet aggressive Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets. Responsibilities include integrating new methodologies, supporting execution-driven teams for tape-outs, and leveraging EDA tools like Synopsys Next Generation, Conformal LEC, Formality, and PrimeTime. The ideal candidate has a strong background in ASIC design flow, scripting skills with Tcl, Perl, or Python, and experience with sub-micron technology nodes such as 5nm and below. Knowledge of GPU micro-architecture and VLSI design is essential, along with the ability to innovate and solve complex problems independently while working effectively in a team environment.
