Qualcomm India Private Limited

Job Area:

Engineering Services Group, Engineering Services Group > PWB Design General Summary
The successful candidate will operate as a member of the Corporate Engineering unit, PWB CAD department, and will be able to provide PWB design solutions for a variety of design types. For example: Product Test Engineering (PTE) designs – (UFLEX/IFLEX Probe cards, 93K DIB, Bench boards and Daughter Cards, Socketed and Solder down, HTOL, etc.) with multiple DUT sites up to 32X. Emulator designs – 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. Reference handset designs – ‘form factor accurate’ (FFA) circuit boards. These boards require 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 .5mm pitch and smaller packages. Responsibilities include working with US and India teams to provide PWB design solutions for high performance electronic assemblies for Mobile, Modem and IOT. Specific tasks include daily use of PWB CAD design software to perform placement and routing activities to meet mechanical and electrical design constraints and requirements. Exchange of electronic file transfers to/from mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure compliance to fit, form and function as well as power and signal integrity requirements. Creating fabrication and assembly drawings and working with internal teams and external suppliers to support PWB fabrication and assembly. The candidate will interface with internal staff and outside partners in the fast-paced execution of a variety of multi-disciplined projects. Leadership skills are expected on all projects to help direct, capture and interface with outside consultants.

The candidate is expected to have proficiency on Mentor Xpedition, Mentor PADS and Cadence Allegro PWB design software and is expected to have multiple years of 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.

The responsibilities of this role include:

• Works under some supervision.
• Provides some supervision/guidance to other members; does not have direct reports.
• Decisions are moderate in nature. Errors are detected and corrected with relatively minor financial impact or effect on projects, operations, or customer relationships. May require involvement beyond immediate work group to correct.
