Responsibilities include working with US and India teams to provide PWB design solutions for high performance electronic assemblies for Mobile, Modem, Auto, Compute, Infrastructure and IOT.

The candidate is expected to have proficiency on Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, PADS and / or Cadence Allegro PWB design software and is expected to have experience in developing PWB design solutions for a variety of design types and working with internal teams and external suppliers to support PWB fabrication and assembly.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 8+ years actively involved in PWB design for high-density electronics packaging.
• 4+ years’ experience in a PWB design role designing consumer-grade mobile products or low volume test products utilizing latest generation processor chips & ICs.
• Design for Manufacture (DFM) analysis experience utilizing Valor and/or CAM350 tools.

Mandatory Skills : Looking for someone with RF PCB / PWB / CCA layout experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of large/high density digital designs having high layer counts (24-34 layers) and containing several FPGA's (>1500 pins) along with very high-speed digital signals.
• Mastery in digital processors, RF and radio circuits as well as power control devices.
• Experience with micro-vias (stacked), sequential lamination stack-ups and design rules using .35 mm pitch and smaller packages.
• Design for Manufacture (DFM) analysis experience utilizing Valor and/or CAM350 tools.
• Preferred design experience: RF, Analog, High-speed digital circuits - DDR2, 3 & 4, LPDDR5, HDMI, PCIe, SATA, MIPI, USB 2,3.x, GigE
• Able to perform complex and difficult PWB design tasks requiring extensive skill and knowledge of fabrication and assembly process capabilities and limitations.
• Effectively multitasks and meets aggressive schedules in a dynamic environment.
• Determine PWB design trade-offs necessary to meet design requirements and produce high quality cost effective PWB’s that meet schedule objectives.
• Understands the requirements driving PWB technology and process trends and their application to Qualcomm designs.
• Maintain technical coordination with Engineering and Manufacturing. Resolve PWB design issues with fabrication and assembly vendors.
• Participate and provide input into process improvement, PWB and DFM checklists and guidelines.
