About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field is required.
  • A good understanding of microprocessor architecture and common system-on-chip hardware blocks, including interconnects, display, and graphics, is preferred.
  • Expertise in AI model development, data pipeline management, and infrastructure automation is preferred.
  • Knowledge of operating-system concepts, including scheduling, memory management, and device drivers, is preferred.
  • Experience using debug tools such as JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers is preferred.
  • Knowledge of mobile power or power and thermal management software development is preferred.
  • In-depth knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, system-on-chip power, modem, multimedia, and wireless communications is preferred.
  • Experience with system-level debugging and analysis for system-on-chip power optimizations is preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Work with cross-functional teams to profile power and thermal behavior, identify power, thermal, and peak-current risks, and provide optimized solutions with appropriate mitigation.
  • Perform system-level analysis of power and thermal use cases and collaborate with architecture, hardware design, performance, power and thermal systems, and software teams to develop an optimal system-level software solution.
  • Develop AI/agentic-AI infrastructure automation, including designing, training, and deploying neural-network architectures such as convolutional neural networks, large language models, and transformers, and building end-to-end automation to process power, performance, and log telemetry to optimize power and performance.
  • Develop tools and methodologies for competitive analysis and devise thermal mitigation schemes.

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.
