Qualcomm
DDR SW Tools Development Lead Engineer, Principal
Qualcomm, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Overview
Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering General Summary: 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 (CHS) Group working on the latest generation of QUALCOMM’s Snapdragon Products. The successful candidate will exhibit strong technical and interpersonal skills for interacting with Software and Hardware engineers. The charter of the CHS DDR SW Tools team is to ensure that the end-product qualifies the defined acceptance criteria for DDR (in terms of stability, meeting Power and performance numbers). We are seeking a highly motivated engineer with strong programming skills in
C, C++, Python , and a solid understanding of hardware concepts. The role involves developing and implementing
validation test suites
across
UEFI, Linux, and Windows environments . The candidate is expected to be self-driven to quickly get up to speed on various aspects of the software and flexible to take-up tasks as per the project needs. This position offers the opportunity to: Collaborate with cross-functional
software and hardware teams
to understand DDR, CPU and HSIO system architecture for Server SoCs. Gain deep insights into DDR, CPU and HSIO software systems design and validation. Evaluate industry standard validation test suites and benchmarks for servers. Contribute to quality assurance from
product development through commercial launch , including support for full production ramp-up. You will work closely with teams in the
US, India ,
and Taiwan
so excellent communication and teamwork skills are essential. The position involves understanding of Server SOC Architecture and DDR Subsystem which includes understanding of LPDDR5X, LPDDR6, DDR5 and DDR6 design and PMIC system architecture, and be able to develop SW Tools suite to catch any failures based on SW crash dumps & stability issues (such as memory corruptions, Memory Lock-ups, Bit flips etc.). This position is expected to give an exposure to understand various quality stages from product development to commercial launch of the product. The candidate is also expected to guide on the server DDR specific 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 Systems Engineering or related work experience. Alternatively, Master’s degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience. Alternatively, PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

porting existing software/debug tools
to new operating systems is preferred. Familiarity with
DRAM technologies
is a plus. Effective
time management
to prioritize multiple complex stability issues and meet deadlines. Self-driven, quick learner, and adaptable to evolving project needs. Experience with DDR validation frameworks or memory system performance analysis. Exposure to
UEFI development
and low-level system programming. Knowledge of
hardware-software co-design principles . Knowledge of die-to-die interfaces is a plus. 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. Define and develop test cases to catch DDRSS specific issues. Excellent communication and collaborative skills. EEO Statement:
