** Company:
** Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.##
** Job Area:
** Engineering Group, Engineering Group ASICS Engineering
** General
Summary:
**** About the Team
** Qualcomm’s System Validation & Emulation (SVE) team is part of the central SoC validation organization responsible for ensuring
** end-to-end silicon quality across pre- and post-silicon phases**.This role focuses on
** content quality and system-level validation enablement**, offering deep exposure to Qualcomm SoCs through
** bare-metal validation content**, scalable automation frameworks, and complex system debugs. Engineers in this role work across HW and SW boundaries to
** develop, validate, and scale system-level test content**, ensuring high-quality silicon validation across a wide range of SoC domains.
Excellent Opportunity to work on
** cutting-edge SoCs across multiple product segments**, including:
* Premium mobile and flagship platforms
* Data center
* AI Accelerator platform
** Roles and Responsibilities
*** Develop AI, inference, and data-intensive bare-metal workloads to stress memory and compute subsystems.
* Root-cause complex hardware and software issues spanning SoC architecture, firmware, drivers, interconnects, memory systems, clocks, power domains, and low-power features.
* Enable silicon bring-up, qualification, and productization through deep technical analysis and cross-functional collaboration.
* Partner closely with architecture, design, firmware, software, emulation, FPGA, and silicon teams to solve challenging system-level problems.
** Required Qualifications
*** BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
* 3+ years of experience in memory validation, silicon validation, or platform bring-up.
* Strong debugging and analytical problem-solving skills.
* Proficiency in C/C++, Python, scripting, and low-level software development.
* Solid understanding of SoC architecture, embedded systems, operating systems, memory hierarchy, caches, coherency & concurrency.
* Experience with silicon bring-up, validation, and root-cause analysis.
* Familiarity with JTAG, kernel debuggers, lab instrumentation, and validation tools.
* Experience working across the hardware/software boundary in highly complex systems.
** Preferred Qualifications
*** Experience in one or more of: + Near-Memory Compute (NMC) + Processing-in-Memory (PIM) + High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) + LPDDR/DDR memory systems + Memory controllers + AI accelerators
* Knowledge on AI GEMM and GEMV operations, DMA operations, multi-threading
* AI/ML-assisted validation and debug methodologies
* Embedded firmware, device drivers, and bare-metal software
* Emulation, and post-silicon validation
** Why Join Us?
** Join a team driving the next generation of
** AI-centric memory and compute architectures**, spanning High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), Processing-in-Memory (PIM), Near-Memory Compute (NMC), 3D-stacked memory systems, and memory-compute convergence technologies.
You will work on some of the industry's most advanced SoC technologies. Your work will directly influence silicon bring-up, product readiness, and the delivery of high-quality platforms powering future generations of Data-center and AI products.
