PMIC Systems/Firmware/Validation Engineer at Qualcomm

Hello Dear Readers,

Currently, at Qualcomm Bangalore vacancy for PMIC Systems/Firmware/Validation Engineer.

Qualcomm Overview:

Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in.

General Summary:

Qualcomm is leading the innovation front for the integrated chipsets that power todays most advanced mobile devices. We are building on and expanding our reputation as the industry powerhouse for innovation in both wireless technologies and enabling advanced multimedia capabilities. Join Qualcomm India and become part of the growing multimedia team that continues to innovate and bring solid differentiation to our chipsets. We are seeking an experienced hands-on system lead engineer for the display systems team. This team is responsible for architecting advanced mobile display signal processing hardware for our chipsets. The successful candidate will lead the systems architecture and algorithms design for the display processor. He / She will also work closely with the hardware design team to optimize and verify the functionality and performance of the processor.

Responsibilities:

  • This job/role is to perform System-level Validation (VI) on a limited quantity of Post-Silicon (Post-Si) HW testbenches, to ensure high quality of PMIC-System Hardware (HW) & Firmware (FW) design-deliverables – over a highly-complex & continuously-evolving product landscape.
  • As an applicant for this role, you will have to come up with a comprehensive VI-plan covering various user scenarios, identify individual granular test-cases & prepare to execute all steps within available test framework - based on the requirements of each PMIC-System in a Chipset-solution.
  • These test-cases, as appropriate will have to be run (manual & automated), starting from PMIC stand-alone IC-level (on daughter-card) and expanding progressively to bigger Chipset/System-level (test-phone-device) testing, including multi-event concurrencies.
  • One of your important contributions will be to envision new test-cases and enhance validation-coverage via automating test-execution & results-validation.
  • Additionally, you will act as Point-of-Contact from the PMIC-SVI team to PMIC design & characterization teams as well as various other SoC HW/SW validation teams, Chipset-Power Measurement, CoreBSP-SW and Customer-Engineering teams.
  • You will need to take ownership of activities like aligning & updating test-procedures in accordance with ever-changing PMIC-architecture & system-state flows; as well as recreating issues reported by other teams / customers, capturing signals/logs for the purpose of debugging, validating workarounds/fixes, and assessing the confidence vs risk of your validation-effort before the PMIC-System solution is ready for commercial mass-production. 

Education Requirements:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering is a must. A Master’s degree is preferred.
  • We are looking for applicants with 0-3 years (Masters) of relevant job-experience – to work with other teams on Module-level (IP in Chip) to end-Product validation, issues recreation & log collection.
  • Applicants must have industrial exposure of product-development via Systems Validation role in VLSI/Embedded-Systems domain. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Applicants should also have exposure to basic-firmware & HW-SW interaction. They should also have strong hands-on lab-experience in Post-Si Validation of Mixed-signal (Analog/Digital) IP.
  • Candidates experienced in validating systems that are a combination of HW & FW (microcontroller based) would be highly preferred.

Preferred Skills :

  • Hands-on ability & comfort in using various lab instruments like oscilloscopes, power supplies, JTAG debuggers etc.
  • Good programming skills in at least one of the following: C#, F#, Python, Perl, LabVIEW or any other scripting language (in VLSI/Embedded Domain)
  • A reasonable understanding of digital and analog circuit design concepts – esp. microcontrollers, DC-DC voltage-regulators, communication-protocols (e.g., I2C, SPMI)
  • Familiarity with HW schematics and ability to trace inter connections on a PCB.
  • Good analytical & communication (verbal/written) skills. Ability to seek information pro-actively, understand priorities and juggle multiple tasks in a highly paced environment.
  • Experience in automating test-cases via SW-control for HW-systems Experience in coming up with top-level test-plan and breaking it down to individual test cases.
  • Prior experience in leading & executing white-box validation efforts of a HW-module or sub-module, is a big plus.
  • Exposure to Assembly-programming (for microcontrollers) is good-to-have. Exposure to tools like JIRA and GIT are a plus.
