PMIC Systems & Validation EngineerTeam & Product Overview:

Qualcomm's Power Management Systems, Validation & Integration team (PMIC-SVI) leads the industry in the system architecture and post-silicon validation of high-performance feature-rich Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs), that are embedded in our Chipsets - for smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables and a variety of cutting-edge consumer electronics. This team gets to work on state-of-art technology to enable products with world’s leading brands.A typical Qualcomm PMIC is a highly advanced IC that has a multitude of IPs viz. switching DC-DC converters, linear regulators, clock oscillators, battery charger, fuel gauge, LED drivers, and ADCs. Additionally, there is an embedded mini-processor running critical firmware (FW) to support power sequencing, interrupt servicing, crash handling and various device reset scenarios. It is also responsible for maintaining various stability & performance related configurations that are part of SoC software driver initializations. Furthermore, it provides an intelligent-framework for sequencing of time-critical-operations, which otherwise can't be guaranteed by any OS / higher-level software. Often, Qualcomm chipset solutions contain multiple PMICs working together in sync – which together constitute a ‘PMIC-System’.

Job Responsibilities

This job involves a mix of Architecture, HW Systems, Functional Validation, Chipset integration & customer issue debug support. We are looking for Systems & Validation engineers with preferably

3 - 5 years of experience in analog/power electronics. Depending on your experience level and area of technical expertise you will own and participate in systems definition, HW/SW debugging and validation of PMIC solutions by partnering with various engineering teams like Analog/Digital Design, Software and Customer Engineering in a fast-paced environment. Systems involves coming up with a Top-Level specification (involving HW/FW/SW level partitioning of feature-design, HW Register interfaces, memory sizing, protocol
