Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering

General Summary:

Qualcomm is developing an exciting new product line for machine learning inference acceleration in the cloud with industry leading performance/watt. As part of this project Qualcomm is seeking an experienced power electronics engineer. The role will cover all aspects of product development including (but not limited to) specifying board level power design, power management products and voltage regulator (VR) selection, development, programming, debug, as well as post-silicon board/SoC test validation and power correlation ensuring system-level performance and power metrics are met.

• Requires expertise in one or more of the following engineering disciplines: power electronics (switch mode and linear), power management, high bandwidth/low latency control interfaces, thermal analysis, power distribution networks, PCB layout and construction and industry standard interfaces (e.g. SPI/I2C, AVS, PMBus, etc).
• Expertise with multi-phase buck, boost, intermediate bus converters, LDO regulators as well as e Fuse, hot-swap controllers, voltage level-translators, differential amplifiers, voltage and current sensing telemetry.
• Uses design and simulation tools such as SIMPLIS, MATLAB, or other common industry VR simulation tools.
• Work with power, system, board architecture, and other cross-organization colleagues to ensure board meets requirements to our SoC.
• Provide schematic/layout guidance to CAD team and conduct design reviews following internal and industry established guidelines.
• Help drive internal simulation teams to ensure board design meets signal and power integrity (SI/PI) including (but not limited to) impedance analysis, IR drop analysis, transient droop/overshoot for all rails.
• Especially critical to be able to work with a degree of abstraction and ambiguity.
• Derive, document, and execute board validation test plans pre/post-silicon in our lab. Bring-up and test prototypes utilizing typical lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, multi-meters, electronic loads, passive/active/power probes, T32 debuggers, etc.) Run power stress type workloads to analyze voltage regulator performance.
• Drives triage of problems at the system-level to determine root cause. Analyze test results ensuring sufficient design margins have been achieved. Provide feedback to teams to implement changes as required. Support SoC, software and firmware teams during development.
• Tracks industry technology trends, interacts with other technology teams. Provides technical expertise for next generation initiatives.
