• Acts as the technical expert in resolving highly complex architecture, design, or verification problems when provided with incomplete, ambiguous or conflicting requirements.
• Holds team accountable and provides technical expertise for the design and verification strategies of the IP core team members to ensure customer and program needs are met.
• Directs team to add additional test cases when necessary to ensure that the most complex bugs are fully understood and analyzed.
• Provides technical expertise and support to team members to ensure power checks are completed on time.
• Reviews the process of interpreting reports derived from performance checks for various blocks to ensure potential obstacles are identified and provides a mitigation plan for identified issues.
• Acts as a tech lead on innovative technologies to drive advances; influences standards.
• Reviews technical documentation for large projects before publication and provides feedback on the documentation, and requirements as needed.
• Serves as a technical lead by participating in cross-functional groups to ensure a feasible product execution path and communicates this path to team.
• Drives technical conversation in design or project reviews and project meetings and ensures cross functional team alignment on project tasks, and best interests are represented.
• Acts as a tech lead on major projects to ensure they are driven to completion (e.g. timely, on budget).
• Learns and applies lessons from past projects; acts as a tech lead in the recommendation and implementation of improved and/or new engineering procedures.
• Identifies technical opportunities or projects inside of Qualcomm and secures resources as necessary.
• Additional responsibilities might include:
• Provides technical expertise and support to team members to define and make available foundry technology roadmap choices to meet product requirements
• Leads team to define and develop competitive and timely foundry technology to fit product roadmap.
• Leads resolution of critical technology and design-technology interaction issues to execute on timely Product ramp.

Level of Responsibility

• Working independently with no supervision.
• Making decisions that are significant in impact, influencing overall program or organization success, finances, and/or the ability to meet objectives; errors are not readily apparent due to the complexity of work process/product or time between decisions and results; errors typically result in significant expenditure of time, resources, and funds to correct.
• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey complex and/or detailed information to multiple individuals/audiences with differing knowledge levels. May require strong negotiation and influence, communication to large groups or high-level constituents.

• Completing tasks that require multiple steps that can be performed in various orders; tasks require simultaneously executing multiple cognitive abilities and maintaining information in short or long-term memory.
• Regularly determines what needs to be done and is involved with sharing innovative solutions to achieve broad policies and objectives.
• Using deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or conflicting; advanced data analysis and interpretation skills are required.
• Occasionally participates in strategic planning within own area affecting immediate operations.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 7+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
