Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering

As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Hardware Engineer, you will plan, design, optimize, verify, and test electronic systems, bring-up yield, circuits, mechanical systems, Digital/Analog/RF/optical systems, equipment and packaging, test systems, FPGA, and/or DSP systems that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.

PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.

Job Responsibilities

This job/role is to perform System-level Validation (VI) on a limited quantity of Post-Silicon (Post-Si) HW testbenches, to ensure high quality of PMIC-System Hardware (HW) & Firmware (FW) design-deliverables – over a highly-complex & continuously-evolving product landscape.

As an applicant for this role, you will have to come up with a comprehensive VI-plan covering various user scenarios, identify individual granular test-cases & prepare to execute all steps within available test framework - based on the requirements of each PMIC-System in a Chipset-solution. These test-cases, as appropriate will have to be run (manual & automated), starting from PMIC stand-alone IC-level (on daughter-card) and expanding progressively to bigger Chipset/System-level (test-phone-device) testing, including multi-event concurrencies. One of your important contributions will be to envision new test-cases and enhance validation-coverage via automating test-execution & results-validation. Additionally, you will act as Point-of-Contact from the PMIC-SVI team to PMIC design & characterization teams as well as various other SoC HW/SW validation teams, Chipset-Power Measurement, CoreBSP-SW and Customer-Engineering teams. You will need to take ownership of activities like aligning & updating test-procedures in accordance with ever-changing PMIC-architecture & system-state flows; as well as recreating issues reported by other teams / customers, capturing signals/logs for the purpose of debugging, validating workarounds/fixes, and assessing the confidence vs risk of your validation-effort before the PMIC-System solution is ready for commercial mass-production.

Education Requirements

A Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering is a must. Master’s degree is preferred.

Minimum Qualifications

We are looking for applicants with 0-3 years (Masters) of relevant job-experience – to work with other teams on Module-level (IP in Chip) to end-Product validation, issues recreation & log collection.

Applicants must have industrial exposure of product-development via Systems Validation role in VLSI/Embedded-Systems domain.

Preferred Qualifications

Applicants should also have exposure to basic-firmware & HW-SW interaction. They should also have strong hands-on lab-experience in Post-Si Validation of Mixed-signal (Analog/Digital) IP.
