In short

Qualcomm is looking for a Senior Digital Bench Characterization Engineer to evaluate leading-edge LPDDR & PCDDR subsystem components and high-speed IO interfaces. Responsibilities include assessing parametric performance and performing failure analysis, working collaboratively with global engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Bench characterization of leading-edge LPDDR & PCDDR subsystem components (DRAM, DRAM Controller, DRAM PHY, IOs, PLL/DLL, Clocking architecture, Delay circuits, Power Distribution Network) and high-speed IO interfaces (PCIe, USB2/3/4, DisplayPort, HDMI, MIPI-CSI/DSI, UFS & PLL).
  • Evaluate parametric performance of DDR & High-Speed IO IPs.
  • Perform failure analysis to root-cause design problems.
  • Work closely with IC design engineering, system engineering, and hardware applications teams across the globe in a time-critical environment.

Requirements

  • M.Tech, B.Tech, or equivalent in Electronics or Electrical Engineering.
  • 3 years of related work experience.
  • Familiarity with test and characterization of DDR and High-Speed IO interfaces.
  • In-depth understanding of Mobile & PC DDR protocols (DDR2/3/4), timing diagrams.
  • In-depth understanding of HSIO IPs at PHY level.
  • In-depth understanding of Electrical parametric compliance specs (eye diagram, differential signaling, jitter analysis, Receiver-Jitter-Tolerance, signal integrity, transmission line considerations, de-embedding).
  • Decent understanding of VLSI technologies, analog/digital ICs, and semiconductor physics.
  • Programming skills: Python, C, C# (or equivalent).
  • Strong interpersonal, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Desired Qualifications
