Server SoC System Architect

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > CPU Engineering

We are dedicated to transforming the industry by reimagining silicon and developing next-generation computing platforms. By joining our team, you’ll collaborate with world-class engineers to create innovative solutions that push the limits of performance, energy efficiency and scalability with highest security assurance for all stakeholders

We are seeking experienced SoC System Architects to join our team. If you possess an understanding of SoC hardware architecture and have a passion for architecting and designing complex System on Chips (SoCs) at advanced process nodes, we would be pleased to hear from you. This critical role involves architecting the next-generation datacenter system and hardware infrastructure for reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS), debug, telemetry, and server manageability by collaborating with other platform and SoC architects and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

The work performed will lead to lower time to resolve issues and improve datacenter uptime by providing secure RAS, debug, and telemetry solutions that can be used in environments closer to, if not in, the production environments where the issues occur.

The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of system and SoC architecture for datacenter products including hardware, software, and system requirements for debug, RAS, telemetry, and server manageability technologies. Knowledge of the security and privacy implications and necessary requirements for such debug, RAS, telemetry, and manageability technologies is a plus. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills are essential for excelling in this position.

• Proficiency in boot, reset, recovery, debug, RAS, telemetry, server manageability, and confidential computing concepts.
• Direct architecture/design experience with debug, telemetry, and RAS protocols (e.g., MIPI STP, DMTF PLDM).
• Familiarity with security technologies for datacenter products related to secure debug, attestation, hardware and software supply chain provenance, and access control/isolation primitives.
• Experience in participating (or leadership) in industry forums (e.g., OCP) and developing specifications.
• Strong technical documentation skills (including specification development) along with excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders…
