Broadcom is developing solutions supporting the next generation of 3G and 4G high-speed mobile technologies. As part of the CellAirity™ Mobile Platform, Broadcom offers a family of HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple-Access), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) baseband processors for use in cellular handsets, PC cards and other wireless-enabled consumer electronics.
In this role you will be the primary interface on baseband and RFIC device issues for customers, FAEs, ASIC, HW and SW Engineering, Product Engineering, and Marketing. You will be working with others in a team and also individually. When high profile issues arise, you may be assigned to lead a diverse group to resolve those issues. You will be responsible for all documentation-related activities as an individual contributor. You will be supporting an entire device which consists of dozens of individual processing blocks and interfaces. Your organization skills will be used daily as you collect, track and filter information from many sources.
The role of ASIC Applications Engineer is challenging and diverse. The position encompasses, but is not limited to, typical applications engineer and systems engineering responsibilities.
* (Typical Applications Engineer responsibilities)
- Generating and maintaining device documentation such as datasheets, app notes, programming guides, errata, and training material
- Publishing and maintaining reference design documentation such as schematics, layouts, guidelines, and test reports
- Provide support for customers, FAEs, and HW and SW engineering, internal board design teams
- Coordinating various internal groups to support customers and FAEs
- Working with marketing to generate specific customer documentation
- Experience with board-level design and debug, familiar with signal-integrity techniques for high-speed design
- Experience with debugging device and board issues using standard test instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers
- Troubleshooting and root causing complex system problems identifying which parts of the system need to be fixed and proposing solutions
- Experience with modern VLSI digital design with Verilog HDL -- can read and understand Verilog
- Experience with low-level (firmware, device driver) software -- can read and understand C/C++ code, must be able to write code when necessary
- Assist product engineering with device characterization
* (Typical Systems Engineering responsibilities)
- Experienced with documenting highly-integrated complex devices including integrated analog blocks
- Tasked to understand and fully document modules which have little to no existing documentation
- Writing detailed device functional specifications for engineering and customers from a system-level and device-level perspective
- Working with ASIC engineering, SW engineering, platform, and customer teams to resolve design and documentation-related issues
Job Requirements : Required Experience:
* Previous Logic Design (ASIC / FPGA) or Board design experience is required.
* Previous RF/Analog Design experience required.
* Experience working directly with customers or prior applications engineering experience from a device perspective is required.
* Prior experience with development and maintenance of data sheets and/or technical documentation.
* Working knowledge of C/C++ is required.
* Requires a experienced, motivated, self-starter who requires little guidance.
* Excellent understanding of the English language and an ability to generate and maintain clear and concise documentation.
* Superior personal and organizational skills to lead, manage, and drive projects from start to finish.
* Prior involvement in supporting a complex integrated device (SoC) from a hardware and system perspective.
Desired Experience:
* Prior experience with cell-phone design with baseband devices is highly desired.
* Prior experience with GSM/GPRS/EDGE, W-CDMA, 2G, 3GPP, HSPA is highly desired.
* In-depth knowledge and prior experience with the following interfaces and technologies is desired:
- RF/analog circuits; amplifiers, filters, AGC loops, ADCs, DACs, PLL
- DigRF
- Audio (mics, analog drivers, and filtering concepts)
- I2S digital audio
- PCM
- I2C
- Mobile SDRAM
- Flash (NOR, NAND)
