Qualcomm's validation team is a central part of the Global SoC hardware organization responsible for the overall quality of the SoC silicon. The validation team works closely with architects, designers, verification engineers, software engineers, and customers.
As a Power Validation Engineer, your mission will be to ensure SoC quality by using post-silicon validation techniques to verify CPU/GPU/DDR/NOC power at core and system level. You are expected to have excellent understanding of digital design fundamentals, SoC Power trees and low-power techniques, and develop deep knowledge of SoC system architecture, power reduction and optimization methods.
Responsibilities:
- Perform Pre-Si and Post-Si Power, thermal & performance correlation, debug, and analysis at the system level across various SoC IPs.
- Execute regression and PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) testing across different parts, lots, and wafers; analyze the data and extract key metrics.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, and verification engineers to define and execute comprehensive validation plans, identify gap/risk areas.
- Document observations and analysis; propose innovate solutions to optimize hardware and software to achieve world-class chipset low power consumption.
- Debug low-level software and hardware issues, utilizing various debug tools like JTAG and kernel debuggers.
- Conduct Vmin/Fmax measurements and collect data for performance characterization.
- Automate validation flows, data collection, and analysis using Python or similar scripting languages.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Knowledge of Python or similar scripting languages for automation.
- Familiarity with prompt engineering to utilize AI.
- Understanding of mobile chip architecture (CPU, GPU, DDR, NOCs, etc.) and debugging low-level software and hardware issues.
