About the Job

Requirements

  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and wafer fabrication fundamentals.
  • Understanding of digital, analog, mixed-signal, and power-management electronics engineering fundamentals and RF circuit analysis techniques.
  • Knowledge of RF transceiver design for cellular applications and design verification of RF chips, including test methodologies such as Noise Figure, RF Matching, Gain, IP2/IP3, RSB, ACLR, and Phase Noise.
  • Basic understanding of ASIC device-level characterization.
  • Hands-on experience with statistical analysis software, quality and reliability testing, and Six Sigma and Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques.
  • Comfort using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, source meters, battery emulators, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering is required; the minimum qualifications also specify a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Ability to work independently, take initiative, overcome technical challenges, and present data-driven decisions to cross-functional and leadership teams.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills and ability to organize and document work across distributed teams.

Responsibilities

  • Drive product and test development from pre-silicon through mass production, including test hardware and software development, characterization-plan development, and design IP characterization.
  • Lead first-silicon debug, process experiment (DOE) definition, multiple-source fab matching, and guard-band and test-limit generation.
  • Drive short- and long-term test time reduction (TTR) and yield-improvement initiatives to meet targets without compromising production quality, including AI-driven optimization techniques.
  • Use AI-assisted data analytics and machine-learning tools for yield variance control, outlier detection across production datasets, parametric limit setting, and engineering documentation workflows.
  • Manage multiple projects in parallel, balance NPI milestones and sustaining commitments, and drive data-informed decisions with local and remote teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • A Master's degree or Electrical Engineering-related work experience is preferred.
  • System-level knowledge and prior lab or internship experience are a plus.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted engineering platforms or large language model-based tools for diagnostics, code generation, or documentation.

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.
