Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and debug system and IP validation frameworks for bare-metal and lightweight-RTOS environments.
- Support global core teams in validating Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs and understanding new SoC architecture and design features.
- Interface with design, design verification, software, and IP validation teams to debug complex issues and enable infrastructure on emulation and post-silicon environments.
- Develop new framework test flows for ATE and MBIST testing in high-volume production-screening processes.
- Optimize low-level code, resolve linker issues, and support hardware/software bring-up and validation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, science, engineering, or a related field; master's or PhD may qualify with fewer years of experience.
- At least 5 years of hands-on silicon validation and embedded software development experience is stated in the mandatory requirements; the minimum qualifications also specify 4+ years with a bachelor's, 3+ with a master's, or 2+ with a PhD.
- Proficiency in C/C++, familiarity with assembly, and experience with VHDL/Verilog and scripting languages such as Python or Perl.
- Knowledge of ARMv8, ARMv9, x86, and RISC-V architectures, interrupt handling, cache and I/O coherency, SMP or heterogeneous cores, memory ordering, barriers, and SoC architecture.
- Experience with compilers, Makefiles, linkers, scatter files, code optimization, boot-loader development, JTAG interfaces, and hardware debug tools.
- Understanding of operating systems, RTOS or Linux kernel internals, multithreading, scheduling, locking, virtual memory, and MMU concepts is desired.
- Experience with FPGA or emulation bring-up, fresh SoC designs, Jenkins automation, regression testing, and comprehensive software test suites is desired.
- Familiarity with mobile or server architectures, including CPUs, GPUs, DDR, NoCs, and peripherals, plus systematic low-level hardware/software root-cause debugging.
- Ability to use laboratory equipment such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes, and kernel debuggers such as Lauterbach Trace32.
- Good written and spoken communication skills.
About Qualcomm
Qualcomm is a public semiconductor company headquartered in San Diego, founded in 1985, that designs and sells wireless chipsets and platforms for mobile devices, automotive, IoT, and networking, notably the Snapdragon application processors and 5G modems. It also licenses a large portfolio of cellular patents to device makers, generating revenue alongside chip sales; its technology underpins many Android smartphones and emerging automotive and edge-compute systems, and it trades on NASDAQ as QCOM.
