Company:Qualcomm IncorporatedJob Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > CAD EngineeringJob Overview:Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in.General Summary Develops and applies Computer Aided Design (CAD) software engineering methods, theories, and research techniques in the investigation and solution of technical problems. Plans technical projects in the design and development of CAD software. Defines and selects new approaches and implementation of CAD software engineering applications and design specifications and parameters. Prepares design specifications, analysis, and recommendations for presentation and approval. May specify materials, equipment, and supplies required for completion of projects and may evaluate vendor capabilities to provide required products or services. Interfaces with various cross functional teams (RF, Analog, Digital IC designers, Foundry Process Technology and Modeling, IT, Legal, Finance, Procurement, and Operations) and external vendors to drive and incorporate the latest design solutions in the production program to improve cost, operational efficiency, productivity, and time to market. The responsibilities of this role include: Working independently with little supervision. Making decisions that are significant in impact; 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. Having a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to provide input on key decisions). 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. Exercising exceptional creativity to innovate new ideas and develop innovative products/processes without established objectives or known parameters. 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. The responsibilities of this role do not include: Financial accountability (e.g., does not involve budgeting responsibility).Principal Duties & Responsibilities Modifies and/or develops highly complex tools and workflows that improve productivity and efficiency of design team. Applies advanced knowledge of programming languages (e.g., Python, Django, Cadence) to optimize features and tools, and continuously seeks to acquire the latest programming languages and methodologies.

Provides timely and accurate responses to highly technical questions and issues from customers (e.g., design engineers, executive team). Performs root cause analyses on highly complex customer problems to identify underlying issue. Directs team to add additional test cases when necessary to ensure that customer issues are fully understood and analyzed. Debugs complex software issues and escalates only the most complicated technical issues to Principal Engineers. Oversees the publication (e.g., writing, reviewing, editing) of product technical documentation for large projects. Acts as a tech lead on mid-sized to large projects and owns the outcome of the project. Gathers requirements from users and vendors to analyze algorithms and write complex scripts.IT Core Competencies N/ARequired Competencies (All competencies below are required upon entry) Analytical Skills - The ability to collect information and identify fundamental patterns/trends in data.
