Résumé du poste

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in Santa Clara, CA, seeks a Senior SoC Debug Engineer for Silicon Validation to ensure quality across server, compute and mobile chipsets.

Collaborate with architects and verification teams to diagnose complex pre-Si and post-Si issues. You will lead bring-up, RTL inspection, and debugging using JTAG and lab equipment, and design strategies to triage failures, perform real-time analysis, and drive corrective actions to improve reliability.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in pre-si and post-silicon debug on embedded platforms.
• RTL inspection and basic RTL understanding.
• Experience solving complex pre-si/post-si debug scenarios.
• Lead efforts for faster platform-level debugging and triage.
• Develop debug strategies for partners including PVT and margin issues.
• SysDebug lead roles to drive complex issues to root-cause.
• Debugging low-level software and hardware issues, JTAG tools, lab equipment use.

Responsabilités

• Lead bring-up, debug, and analysis of embedded platforms in pre-Si and post-Si phases.
• Perform RTL inspection and root-cause analysis for pre-Si and post-Si issues.
• Lead initiatives for faster platform-level debug and isolation of components.
• Create and lead debug strategies and plans for partners to triage failures.
• Real-time debugging of server hardware: motherboards, CPUs, memory, storage, power, networking.
• Investigate manufacturing defects and implement corrective actions to improve quality.

• RTL inspection and dive in required to root cause pre-si debug and JTAG and Si exposure to root cause post-si issues
• Lead on initiatives for faster debug at the platform level including isolating failing components of a system
• Creating and leading debug strategies and plans for partners to more rapidly triage failures to isolate specific components including PVT and marginality issues.
• Perform real-time debugging and troubleshooting of server hardware, including motherboards, processors, memory, storage devices, power supplies, and networking components.
• Investigate manufacturing defects, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions to improve product quality and reliability

Minimum Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience with pre-si and post-silicon enabling, bring-up , analyze failures at the embedded platform level
• RTL inspection and understanding of basic RTL
• Need to have experience solving ample of complex debug in pre-si and post-si phases
• Lead the effort for develop and implement solutions for faster debug at the platform level including isolating failing components of a system
• Creating debug strategies and plans for partners to more rapidly triage failures to isolate specific components including PVT and marginality issues
• SysDebug lead roles to drive complex issues to Root-Cause
• Debugging low level software and hardware issues
• Debug tools including JTAG
• Using Lab Equipment (Logic Analyzer, Scope, Signal Generator etc…)

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong programming and scripting languages (C, Assembly, Perl, Python, etc.)
