  Qualcomm’s Mixed-Signal IP Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) team is seeking Analog / Mixed-Signal design engineers to join our growing team in Cork, Ireland. The successful candidate will work on analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for high-speed PLL IP for SoC and PHY level integration into Qualcomm's Mobile, Auto, IoT & Compute SoC products. The primary focus of the work is on low-power and low-voltage mixed-signal design with emphasis on advanced nanometer FinFET technology nodes.

  You will, both, design key circuit blocks and work closely with layout engineers to ensure the layout is fully optimized and complies with best analog layout practices. You will be directly involved in delivering next-generation PLL designs for Qualcomm SoCs and will be part of a large analog mixed-signal design team involved in architecture analysis and IP delivery in leading-edge FinFET process technology nodes at 3nm and beyond.

  The role requires industry experience in transistor-level circuit implementations or highly relevant academic experience in a Masters’ or PhD program focused on full custom analog circuit design using nanometer CMOS technologies. In addition to Analog and Mixed-Signal circuit design expertise, good understanding of device physics, analog circuit custom layout, power distribution networks (PDN), mixed-signal design flow, SoC top-level integration and IC Design Tools are desired.

  Responsibilities:

  Architecture, design, and development of analog / mixed signal hard macros for the PLL IP Design team
