## Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Packaging Engineering

General Summary:

As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer specializing in On-Chip Power Delivery Network (PDN) Architecture, you will define, develop, and optimize power-grid architectures for advanced-node, high-performance SoCs.

This role focuses on on-die power delivery and power-grid (PG) architecture, including power-grid topology, rail structure, PDN-aware floorplanning, on-die decoupling, bump connectivity, IR drop, dynamic voltage droop, electromigration (EM), coupling, and advanced power-delivery technologies.

You will work closely with SoC Architecture, Physical Design, IP Design, Package/PI, and technology teams to develop scalable PDN solutions that meet demanding performance, power, area (PPA), reliability, and routing requirements across advanced technology nodes.

Responsibilities

  • Own on-chip power delivery network architecture and power-grid strategy for advanced-node, high-performance SoCs.
  • Define and optimize power-grid topology, rail structure, power domains, grid architecture, and power/ground distribution for high-current CPU, NSP, GPU, and other performance-critical IPs.
  • Drive PDN-aware floorplanning in collaboration with SoC Physical Design and IP teams to optimize power delivery while considering PPA, routing resources, timing, and implementation constraints.
  • Define and optimize on-die power-grid connectivity to bump interfaces, including bump allocation and interaction between the on-die PG, package PDN, and decoupling capacitance.
  • Define and optimize the on-die decoupling-capacitance strategy, including decap allocation, placement, and effectiveness across the applicable PDN frequency range.
  • Establish static IR-drop, dynamic voltage-droop, impedance, EM/current-density, and reliability budgets for performance-critical power rails.
  • Perform and drive static IR, dynamic voltage-drop, transient, impedance, EM, and PDN coupling analyses to achieve power-integrity closure.
  • Co-optimize the on-chip power grid with floorplan, timing, PPA, routing resources, bump allocation, and package connectivity, particularly for advanced nodes with increasingly constrained routing resources.
  • Define the on-chip PG roadmap for advanced technology nodes, including evaluation and tradeoff analysis of conventional front-side power grids, backside power delivery, and other emerging power-delivery technologies.
  • Drive PGPOR roadmap and architecture tradeoff analysis, including power-grid architecture, rail structure, implementation options, and advanced PDN solutions.
  • Partner closely with Physical Design, SoC Architecture, IP Design, Package/PI, and technology teams from early architecture and floorplanning through implementation and design closure.
  • Develop scalable PDN extraction, modeling, simulation, signoff, and correlation methodologies to support advanced-node SoC development.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with a focus on power integrity, VLSI, physical design, or semiconductor power delivery.
  • Deep expertise in on-chip power-grid architecture, PDN optimization, and advanced-node power delivery.
  • Experience with Cadence Voltus, Sigrity PowerSI, Ansys HFSS/Q3D/SiWave, HSpice, ADS, or equivalent power-integrity and circuit-simulation tools.
  • Experience developing or improving PDN extraction, modeling, analysis, automation, and signoff methodologies.
  • Knowledge of advanced power-grid technologies, backside power delivery, advanced packaging, and die-to-package power-delivery co-optimization.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, TCL, or similar languages.
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with SoC Architecture, Physical Design, IP, Package, PI, and technology teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 4+ year of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
