Qualcomm
DDR SW Systems Lead, Principal Engineer
Qualcomm, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Overview
Headquartered in San Diego, for over 40 years Qualcomm’s inventions have inspired others to make the impossible, possible. From 5G to artificial intelligence, IoT to automotive and extended reality applications, Qualcomm is inventing the technologies of an intelligently connected future, spearheading research efforts for the next global wireless standard, and collaborating with industry leaders in the wireless value chain to make this future a commercial reality. You’re bringing skills. We’ll provide the environment and the experience to push your limitless potential. You will be part of an exciting team in Central Hardware System Group working on the latest generation of QUALCOMM’s Snapdragon Products. The successful candidate will exhibit strong technical and interpersonal skills for interacting with Hardware and Software engineers. The CHS DDR SW Systems team’s charter is to ensure that the end-product qualifies the defined acceptance criteria for DDR (stability, power and performance). The team seeks a candidate with a strong background in Firmware/Embedded/RTOS concepts, an understanding of HW concepts, and the ability to drive DDR System Level failures. The candidate should be self-driven to quickly get up to speed on software stability aspects and flexible to take on project tasks as needed. The position involves understanding Server SOC Architecture and DDR Subsystem, including LPDDR5X, LPDDR6, DDR5 and DDR6 design and PMIC system architecture, and analyzing system SW crash dumps to identify root causes of stability issues (e.g., memory corruptions, memory lock-ups, bit flips). The candidate will interact with multiple SW & HW teams to understand DDR System Architecture and follow up on DDR defects. This role also provides exposure to quality stages from product development to commercial launch and the opportunity to guide server DDR tools developed by the team to catch issues in HW and SW. Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience OR Master’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience 4+ years of experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. 4+ years of experience with debugging techniques Preferred Qualifications:
15+ years of industry experience in the following: Device drivers Embedded software development in C, C++ and/or assembly JTAG, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes for on-chip debugging Previous experience in platform bring-up (pre-silicon/post-silicon) Knowledge in scripting languages (e.g., Perl, Python, etc.) Good understanding of real-time operating systems Familiarity with boot loader functionality is a plus Excellent critical thinker with sharp debugging skills Interact closely with cross-functional software teams to verify and debug software stability issues and features Engage with HW and VI team to identify potential HW bugs Engage in pre-silicon bring-up on simulation/emulation platforms Participate in silicon-on dock bring-up activities in the lab Debug issues reported in DDR area Define and develop test cases to catch DDRSS specific issues Excellent communication and collaborative skills Equal Opportunity and Benefits
