Qualcomm Canada ULC
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Analog Mixed Signal Design
Qualcomm builds industry-leading wired connectivity solutions that enable data to travel faster, more reliably, and with higher performance at lower power. Our technology is embedded in leading-edge semiconductors built to power global network and computer systems. It is an essential part of the core infrastructure enabling next generation services in data centers, artificial intelligence, 5G wireless infrastructure, data networking, autonomous vehicles, and solid-state storage. Replacement Position
2+ years of experience using one or more design tools (e.g., CADENCE, SPICE, MATLAB, and/or Verilog/VHDL).
Cross-Functional Engineer
We are seeking a highly skilled Cross-Functional Engineer to join our team, focusing on high-speed electrical wireline systems (e.g. SerDes). The successful candidate will play a critical role in designing, analyzing, and optimizing high-performance interconnects, ensuring accurate analog modelling, mixed-signal system verification, analog calibration, and power estimation working collaboratively with digital verification, firmware, and silicon validation engineers for high-speed SerDes designs.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. Our offers will align with the level during the interview assessment.
Analog and mixed-signal modeling: Oversee the development and verification of behavioral models for analog and mixed-signal circuits to support design and system-level simulations
Analog calibration: Collaborate with analog design, digital design, and firmware teams to define and implement calibration algorithms for analog/mixed-signal blocks, optimizing performance and yield
Analog verification: Simulate analog subsystems at higher levels of abstraction to confirm functionality as well as confirm other design characteristics (power, aging performance, EMIR, etc.)
System verification: Work closely with digital verification and firmware engineers to ensure proper interaction between analog, digital, and firmware components including register programming, initialization sequences, power-up calibration, power state changes, and data rate changes
Silicon validation support: Collaborate with silicon validation engineers to support silicon bring-up activities and to correlate pre-silicon models with post-silicon measurements, improving model accuracy and debugging issues
Power Estimation: Collaborate with analog and digital program leads to develop and maintain power models that accurately track power dissipation across data rate, operating conditions, and power states of high-speed SerDes, and then correlate post-silicon measurements with these power model predicted results
Technical mentorship: Guide and mentor engineers in analog behavioral modeling, mixed-signal verification techniques, calibration approaches, and power estimation fostering innovation and technical excellence
Strong background in high-speed (106Gbps and higher) SerDes architecture, modelling, and verification
Proficiency in SystemVerilog and behavioural modeling techniques for analog and mixed-signal designs
Knowledge of calibration algorithms, and equalization techniques for SerDes
Previous experience in either high-speed analog / mixed-signal design or modelling, analog/mixed-signal or digital verification, or post-silicon measurements of complex high-speed wireline systems
Strong understanding of analog design fundamentals, including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, clock generation and clock distribution, analog equalizers, and transmitter drivers, including the numerous mixed-signal calibrations of these analog building blocks.
Experience with EDA tools for schematic entry, and verification.
Proficiency in digital RTL code (e.g., SystemVerilog language), firmware code (e.g., in C language), and digital verification tools and techniques
It’d Be Amazing If You Had
Design experience with one or more of the following circuit blocks: continuous time linear equalizer, slicer, high-speed ADC, voltage-controlled oscillator, phase interpolator, bandgap reference, voltage regulator, serializer, deserializer, voltage/current-mode transmitter, phase-locked loop, phase detector
Hands-on experience with SPICE simulators, AMS simulation tools (Cadence, Synopsys, or equivalent)
Familiarity with IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and OIF standards
Scripting knowledge (Python, Matlab, etc.) for automation of power estimation and system verification
Proficiency in using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, and spectrum analyzers
Customer focused
Excellent communication skills
Able to listen to and appreciate ideas and opinions that differ from yours
Able to multi-task and prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment
Extremely detail oriented
Superb analytical and problem-solving skills
Drives for consistency
Takes personal pride in high standard of outputs
Self-motivated and self-managing
