General Summary:
Qualcomm is a leading technology innovator, pushing the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and accelerate the transformation of communications and on-device computing. As a Qualcomm ASIC Director, you will set technical direction and lead end-to-end execution across ASIC definition, digital and/or analog design, verification, implementation, and documentation for high-performance, low-power, world-class products. You will partner with cross-functional stakeholders to drive architecture and execution decisions, manage key trade-offs, and ensure predictable delivery against quality, schedule, and power/performance targets.
Job Description
- SoC Leadership
- Lead end-to-end SoC delivery across definition, implementation, verification, and production ramp, ensuring quality, schedule, and power/performance targets are met.
- Drive alignment and decision-making across digital/analog design, algorithms, and SoC implementation teams to execute a unified product strategy.
- Digital Design Leadership
- Own digital design execution from definition through design, verification, and documentation across multiple product lines.
- Set architecture direction and approve key trade-offs across logic design, micro-architecture, and system-level simulation.
- Govern the full digital implementation flow (RTL to synthesis, place & route, signoff timing, and power), establishing best practices and release readiness criteria.
- Drive data-driven debug and correlation using silicon/bench measurements, experiments, and tooling to accelerate root-cause closure and improve yield/robustness.
- Provide technical leadership for next-generation initiatives, mentoring senior engineers and influencing platform roadmap decisions.
- Analog/Mixed-Signal Leadership
- Lead analog design execution from definition through design, verification, and documentation across high-performance, low-power products.
- Define architecture and circuit specifications based on system-level requirements, performance targets, and integration constraints.
- Own the full design cycle from system definition and modeling to circuit implementation and simulation, partnering closely with digital and algorithm teams.
- Oversee silicon bring-up and evaluation, driving correlation, performance validation, and continuous improvement across revisions.
- Champion next-generation analog/mixed-signal innovations, setting design standards and coaching teams on best-in-class methodologies.
- Algorithm Leadership
- Lead algorithm definition, verification, and documentation, ensuring algorithm-to-hardware alignment and measurable system-level gains.
- SoC Implementation & Signoff Leadership
- Oversee SoC implementation and signoff, including P&R, packaging enablement, DFT/test strategy, and production readiness.
