Qualcomm Semiconductor Limited seeks a Senior ADT System Level Test Engineer in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. This role is crucial for enhancing mobile platform quality by reproducing and root-causing failures, collaborating globally on debug efforts, and driving mitigations. The position offers deep exposure to Premium Tier Mobile SoC architecture and requires strong independent task management and analytical skills.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with internal test and customer-facing teams to triage failures and drive targeted experiments to root-cause issues at ATE and system level.
  • Drive cross-functional debug efforts to deliver actionable mitigations — via production screens or software workarounds — to uphold product quality and customer satisfaction.
  • Leverage production test data of failing samples to identify patterns and parametric marginalities, and engage relevant teams to drive targeted improvements in production test screens.
  • Develop and execute system-level stress tests to validate SoC IPs and hardware blocks under realistic operating conditions.
  • Communicate engineering status, findings, and risk assessments clearly and regularly to management and stakeholders.
  • Work with teams to develop automatic reports, dashboards, and charts to share progress growth with key stakeholders.
  • Capture and document learning and implementation in upcoming projects.
  • Independently manage and follow through on assigned tasks with minimal supervision.
  • Provide regular updates to key stakeholders during project execution.

Requirements

  • Exposure to Advantest 93000 platform or other ATE platform, Teradyne or other system level test platforms.
  • Hands-on experience developing and executing system-level stress and concurrency tests for SoC IPs and hardware blocks.
  • Experience with data analytic tools such as O+, Data Power, Exensio.
  • Experience developing test cases, analyzing specifications, creating test plans, and driving test execution for Android-based devices.
  • Exposure to Android Architecture, Android Boot process, Kernel, Core BSP, and Android Performance.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional debug, root cause failures, and define mitigations via production screens or software workarounds.
  • Strong software skills (Python, C#, .NET framework, Java, C/C++) for programming and debugging test codes.
  • Experience with lab instruments like Power Supplies, Multimeter, Spectrum analyzer protocol analyzer, Nexus memory analyzer and oscilloscope.
  • Hands-on debugging/triaging experience using Android debugging tools and/or using JTAG Lauterbach/Trace32.
  • Experience working with Perforce, GIT, or other Source Control SW.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently on critical, time‑sensitive, and dynamic projects.
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with global teams.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, PowerBI.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience, OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.

Desired Qualifications

  • Basic knowledge on USB Protocol, CPU, DSP, GPU, DDR will be a plus.
  • Overall, 4 to 8 years’ experience in ATE or system level testing, hardware testing, and test automation for complex SOC’s.
  • Education: Master’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication engineering.
