QUALCOMM Technologies Inc. is the world leader in supplying integrated circuit solutions for mobile, compute, automotive, IoT, XR/VR, AI, and data center products. To support our next phase of growth and innovation, we are expanding the System Level Test (SLT) organization.

At SLT, our vision is to Design, Develop & Deliver (3D's) best-in-class system test solutions that exceed customer quality expectations at the lowest manufacturing cost using the most advanced technologies in the semiconductor industry. The SLT organization is responsible for stressing and validating Qualcomm's leading-edge SoCs at the system level, identifying quality gaps that traditional manufacturing tests may not detect, and developing scalable production screening solutions for high-volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities for this position include working with engineering teams for early-stage silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation efforts, testing and characterization of hardware with system software, verification of device performance at various operating conditions (voltage, process, temperature). Engineer will also partner with development teams to create automated test content solutions that stress the SoC (functional, performance, stability and benchmarks) across mobile, compute, automobile, server, and modem chipsets at various operating conditions.

Work will also include working with team project leads to develop effective production screens for silicon issues using ATE techniques on SLT, as well as enhancing debug capabilities on SLT similar to those found on ATE. The individual selected for the position, needs to be proactive, able to work in a fast-paced dynamic environment, enthusiastic to work at times as an individual contributor and be passionate about delivering quality work.

This role is ideal for an experienced ATE Test Engineer who has developed structural, memory, and functional test programs on Advantest or Teradyne platforms and wants to broaden their technical impact into system-level validation, software-driven testing, data analytics, and next-generation manufacturing quality solutions.
