General Summary:

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.

The infrastructure IP Team consists of a multi-disciplinary group involved in the definition and design of Platform infrastructure HW components such as Interconnect (NOC), System Cache, Memory controllers and System MMU that are implemented in all Qualcomm So Cs. This position primarily involves studying System Performance using cycle-accurate/approximate models and support both Infra IP level u-architecture optimizations as well as System level application performance verification. The ideal candidate should demonstrate the ability to understand the HW u-architecture of the Infrastructure components involved, in particular the memory system and interconnect, identify performance bottlenecks; define experiments and conduct data-driven performance analyses and debug using simulation; Ability to partner effectively with IP designers, Design Verification teams and System performance architects.
This is a challenging position, working on most innovative technologies, surrounded by experts but also by users of our technology all over the world.
You will contribute to evaluate performance of future envisioned hardware architectures and providing key data points to decision makers. You will participate to develop a key architecture modeling platform and support its continuous improvement.

Responsibilities In your role, you will:

• Participate in architecture exploration campaigns working closely with key architects from various teams. Analyze complex dataset to identify insights and patterns that will help define the requirements for next-generation So Cs
• Support on exploratory methodology projects, involving machine learning, data science, etc.
• Expand, maintain and document innovative modeling frameworks. Participate in defining a new hardware modeling semantic, breaking up with conventional hardware programing languages.

Skills/Experience

• Robust understanding of computer architecture and memory hierarchy
• Strong knowledge of Object Oriented Programming (C++, Python)
• Interest for programming paradigms
• Knowledge in bus components micro-architecture
• Understanding of performance/power/area tradeoff.
• Ability to quickly react and adapt to changes.
• Excellent communication skills.

Requirements

• Degree in Microelectronics, Computer Science, or related field.
• Preferably 2-5 years of solid experience in SoC modeling and/or software development, new graduated will be considered upon strong internships & motivation.
• Understanding of interconnect protocols like AHB/AXI/ACE/ACE-Lite/NoC concepts.
• Experience in Data Science, Machine Learning

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD degree in Microelectronics, Computer Science, or related field.
• Strong Mathematical background
• Knowledge in network traffic engineering
• Knowledge of Memory Controller, LPDDR & DDR protocols
• Experience with performance verification and driving microarchitecture investigations on blocks like memory controller, CPU, GPU, NoC and multi-media is a plus

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience. OR
