Senior Hardware Engineer, Power Delivery (AI Data Center)

About the role

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 to cover all aspects of product development.

Responsibilities

• Specifying board level power design, power management products, and voltage regulator 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
• Providing schematic/layout guidance to CAD team and conducting design reviews
• Helping drive internal simulation teams to ensure board design meets signal and power integrity (SI/PI)
• Deriving, documenting, and executing board validation test plans pre/post-silicon
• Bringing up and testing PCB utilizing typical test equipment
• Driving triage of problems at the system-level to determine root cause
• Analyzing test results ensuring sufficient design margins have been achieved
• Providing feedback to teams to implement changes as required
• Supporting SoC, software, and firmware teams during development
• Tracking industry technology trends and interacting with other technology teams
• Providing technical expertise for next generation initiatives

Requirements

• 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, firmware coding, Python or similar scripting languages, PCB layout and construction, and industry standard interfaces (e.g. DDR, PCIE, USB etc.)
• Experience with design and simulation tools such as MATLAB, SIMPLIS, Excel, and Mentor Graphics
• Ability to work with a degree of abstraction and ambiguity

Qualifications

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering is ideal, although a PhD is preferred.

Skills
