SoC Sr Validation Engineer, Power Management

About the Role

Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm ASIC Engineer, you will define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP development for a variety of high-performance, high-quality, low-power world-class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution paths.

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage Hardware knowledge and experience to plan, 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.
• Integrate features and functionality into hardware designs in line with proposals or roadmaps.
• Conduct complex simulations and analyses of designs as well as implement designs with the best power, performance, and area.
• Collaborate with teams (e.g., design, verification, validation, software and systems engineering, architecture development teams, etc.) to implement new requirements and incorporate the latest test solutions in the production program to improve the yield, test time, and quality.
• Evaluate, characterize, and develop manufacturing solutions for leading-edge products in the most advanced processes and bring up products to meet customer expectations and schedules.
• Evaluate reliability of critical materials, properties, and techniques and bring innovation, automation, and optimization to maximize productivity.
• Evaluate complex design features to identify potential flaws, compatibility issues, and/or compliance issues.
• Write detailed technical documentation for Hardware projects.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Power Management, PMIC, or PVTC
• C programming
• Python scripting (added advantage)
• ARM architecture concepts
• Embedded systems concepts

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

OR

• Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

OR

• PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Extensive hands-on experience in Pre/Post Silicon Validation.
• Solid understanding of ARM architecture concepts.
• In-depth knowledge of embedded systems concepts.

Level Of Responsibility

• Works independently with minimal supervision.
• Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
• Decision-making may affect work beyond the immediate work group.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
• Tasks require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
