About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 10+ years of industry experience in SoC/System performance, architecture, or validation.
  • Strong expertise in SoC micro-architecture, memory systems, and interconnects.
  • A bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience; or a master's degree in those fields and 5+ years of related work experience; or a PhD in those fields and 4+ years of related work experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own system-level performance sign-off across multiple subsystems and use cases.
  • Define and drive performance methodology and benchmarks for pre-silicon and early silicon platforms.
  • Lead deep-dive investigations involving CPU, memory, NoC, IO, and power-performance trade-offs.
  • Translate architecture features into quantitative performance projections and risks.
  • Influence architecture and design trade-offs.
  • Mentor engineers and act as a technical authority.
  • Work independently with significant impact on product performance and program success.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree or PhD, or equivalent experience.
  • Extensive experience with RUMI/emulation-based performance sign-off.
  • Experience in Server-class/Data Center SoC architecture, including cache-coherent interconnects (e.g., CHI/ACE-class fabrics), scalable memory hierarchies, and high-bandwidth IO subsystems (PCIe/CXL-class), and the ability to translate architecture features into performance sign-off metrics and system-level debug.

About the Company

Qualcomm

Designs mobile chips and licenses wireless patents

Qualcomm designs the Snapdragon processors and modems inside many Android phones, and it licenses its wireless patents to device makers around the world. It helped commercialize CDMA, the cellular technology behind 3G networks, and its patents cover core parts of the 4G and 5G standards that phones use to connect. The company does not run its own chip factories; contract foundries make its chips, which it sells to makers of phones, PCs, cars, and connected devices. Device makers also pay Qualcomm royalties for using its patented technology, which forms a second business alongside chip sales. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 and is based in San Diego, California.
