Engineer, Senior - Power Thermal

Job Description

Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering General Summary: As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Software Engineer, you will design, develop, create, modify, and validate embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs that launch cutting-edge, world class products that meet and exceed customer needs. Qualcomm Software Engineers collaborate with systems, hardware, architecture, test engineers, and other teams to design system-level software solutions and obtain information on performance requirements and interfaces. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. 2+ years of academic or work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: Power/Thermal Software products team at Qualcomm to achieve industry leading Power/Thermal/Limit SW management solution on Qualcomm Mobile, Automotive, Compute, IoT and AR/VR chipsets. In this position, the candidate will be working with cross-functional teams to identify Power optimizations/Perf tuning, thermal/limits HW tuning/characterization/risks assessment and provide optimized solutions with proper Mitigation. The candidate will need to perform system level analysis of Power/thermal use cases, expected to collaborate with Architecture, HW design, Performance, Power/Thermal Systems and various software teams to work towards optimal system level Power/thermal SW solution. In addition, the candidate will need to develop tools and methodologies for competitive analysis to learn about competitors strengths and weaknesses, and come up with thermal mitigations schemes that are best in the industry. Systems/HW background with a good understanding of microprocessor architecture and common SoC hardware blocks (Interconnects, Display, Graphics etc.) Operating systems concepts - scheduling, memory management, process management, interrupt handling and device drivers Using debug tools like JTAG debugger, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers. Knowledge on power or Power/thermal management SW development. In-depth knowledge in the areas of Embedded Systems, Microcontrollers, SoC Power, Modem, Multimedia, and Wireless communications, System level debugging and analysis for SoC power optimizations. Level of Responsibility: Works under supervision. Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group. Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic negotiation, influence, tact, etc. Tasks do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
