Job Summary
As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.
Qualcomm Bangalore Camera Team is focused on developing high-performance, power-efficient, and highly optimized cores. In this role, you will drive end-to-end ownership of complex hierarchical modules, taking designs from RTL to GDSII, including synthesis, place route, and timing closure, with a strong emphasis on achieving best-in-class PPA (Power, Performance, Area).
You will play a key role in delivering designs that push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and scalability.
We foster a collaborative, creative, and flexible work environment, united by a shared vision to build innovative methods that have a meaningful impact.
