The NoC bus team at Qualcomm Technologies seeks a senior architect to drive micro-architecture choices and design guidelines for bus protocol compliance in large-scale SoCs. This role involves creating detailed specifications for bus components, analyzing performance results, delivering RTL code, and running tool flows. The candidate will also evaluate new IPs, define system-wide interconnect guidelines, and collaborate with verification, silicon validation, and software teams to ensure successful deployments. Ideal candidates possess expertise in various bus protocols like AHB, AXI, and CHI, as well as a strong understanding of ASIC flow tools including synthesis, timing analysis, and power management. Proficiency in RTL design, FPGA debugging, and post-silicon troubleshooting is essential, along with the ability to quickly adapt to changes and define micro-architectures balancing performance, power, and area trade-offs.
