As a senior RTL design engineer on Qualcomm’s Hexagon team, you will play a crucial role in defining and developing the micro-architecture for various blocks of the Hexagon DSP core and subsystems used in mobile SOCs, IoT devices, and automotive applications. Your daily tasks will include collaborating with architecture teams to define micro-architectures, writing RTL code for integration into SoCs, running linting tools, and working closely with physical design and low power teams on timing closure and optimization. You will also collaborate with verification teams to ensure comprehensive test coverage. Ideal candidates have a strong background in RTL development, including experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, and digital logic design, as well as knowledge of cache coherency, multi-core microprocessor architecture, and low-power techniques.
