Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > CPU EngineeringGeneral Summary:NUVIA is now part of Qualcomm. Our mission is to reimagine silicon and create computing platforms that will transform the industry. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and passionate engineers in the world to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency and scalability.About The Role:In this role you will have the opportunity to define, develop and drive CPU timing closure for Oryon CPU Cores. As a CPU Physical Design Timing Engineer, you will work with microarchitecture and RTL design team to develop timing constraints, drive implementation of the designs to meet aggressive power, area and performance goals using industry standard tools/flows. One of your primary responsibilities will be coding scripts used with STA native tools and useful in enabling CPU timing infrastructure and methodology impacting multiple CPU projects in Qualcomm. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with Qualcomm central timing technology & methodology team and interact with CPU implementation team to drive PPA goals of CPU. You will have the opportunity to carve out a strong professional growth path working on industry leading technology nodes N2/N3.Mandatory Skill Set Required for this position:Excellent automation skills using TCL/Perl/PythonBe able to develop/work on automation scripts with the given spec to develop CPU STA signoff flow /methodologyHistory of any framework /tool /utility development is preferredResponsibilities:STA setup, convergence, reviews and signoff for multi-mode, multi-voltage domain designs of Oryon CPU Cores.Timing analysis, validation and debug across multiple PVT conditions using PT/Tempus.Run Primetime and/or Tempus for STA flow optimization and Spice to STA correlation.Find out the root cause of timing miscorrelation at different design levels in functional and test mode, propose solutions.Evaluate multiple timing methodologies/tools on different designs and technology nodes.Good Technical writing and Communication skills and should be willing to work in cross-collaborative environment.Familiar with digital flow design implementation RTL to GDS : ICC, Innovus , PT/TempusMinimum Qualifications:• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
