About The Position

QUALCOMM Technologies Inc. is the world leader in supplying integrated circuit solutions for cellular wireless standards, automobile, compute, server, iot, xr/vr, robotics and it is a world-class fabless semiconductor company. The key to QTI's success is the ability to deliver to our customers complete optimized wireless platforms incorporating protocol, hardware and software with high quality, on schedule. To drive our next phase of growth in cellular, 5G/6G, compute, auto, and servers we are expanding the System Level Test group.
At SLT our vision is “To Design, Develop & Deliver (3D’s) best-in-class system test solutions to exceed every Customer’s Quality goal at lowest Cost using the most advanced technologies of silicon industry”. The system level test group is responsible to stress and break the system on Qualcomm leading-edge Snapdragon products in the most advanced processes. In this role you will be member of a team working on IC design review, IC hardware testing, software development, system engineering, and customer applications.
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 (voltage, process and thermal).
Work will also include working with team project leads to develop effective production screens for system level issues. 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.
