Qualcomm Technologies is seeking a Senior ASIC Design Engineer to join its Next Generation High-Speed Memory and Cache Controller team, focusing on developing advanced memory subsystems for high-speed HBM/LPDDR/DDR interfaces in QCT products. The role involves architecture definition, RTL coding, and deployment of next-generation memory controllers interfacing with CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and multimedia processors at gigahertz speeds. Key responsibilities include designing micro-architectures, implementing RTL code, collaborating with verification engineers, debugging designs, and supporting physical design tasks such as synthesis, timing closure, and power analysis. Ideal candidates have 5+ years of ASIC design experience, a strong background in hardware architecture, and expertise in LPDDR memory controllers, NoC-based architectures, and x86 or ARM CPU/bus systems.
