I korthet

Qualcomm is seeking an Architecture/System Validation Engineer in Hsinchu City, Taiwan, with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. The role involves pre- and post-silicon validation, including bring-up, feature enablement, and performance testing of Packet Processing Engines (PPE). Requires strong experience in scripting, automation, and packet-based testing.

Ansvarsområden

  • Executes pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, including bring-up, feature enablement, and regression execution in system environments focused on Packet processing engine (PPE) forwarding plane behavior.
  • Develops and maintains validation content to cover key forwarding functions and feature areas, and validates silicon functionality through bring-up and targeted test plans.
  • Executes PPE performance validation for key forwarding paths (e.g., bridging and routing) across packet sizes and representative stress patterns; documents results and flags gaps/risks against targets.
  • Executes protocol consistency testing by validating PPE behavior with real protocol implementations when used by the project, and reports inconsistencies with actionable debug evidence.
  • Owns VI strategy and execution for functional, performance, endurance, and stability validation from a system viewpoint (use case driven plus hardware upper bound driven).
  • Defines validation plan based on MRD/PRD, design specs, and use cases; ensures alignment across model/simulation/emulation/post-silicon test phases and drives closure of coverage gaps.
  • Leads bring-up and end-to-end validation on emulation and silicon; coordinates with SW/HWS/Design/DV and customer-facing teams on issue triage, root-cause isolation, and resolution tracking.
  • Develops and maintains validation infrastructure and automation (regressions, dashboards, reusable test frameworks), including enabling unified validation methodology where test cases are shared/correlated among model, emulation, and chip validation.
  • Collaborates with Design/DV to improve quality early by feeding back system findings into specs, DV test intent, and debug hooks; helps DV improve coverage using VI findings and system scenarios.
  • Drives protocol consistency validation by testing Packet processing engine (PPE) behavior with real protocol implementations, and ensures consistency expectations are met across environments.

Krav

  • 3+ years work experience in validation, bring-up, debug, system integration, or networking datapath validation (pre-silicon and/or post-silicon).
  • Strong experience with scripting/tools for validation automation and lab debug practices.
  • Experience with emulation-based validation and regression bring-up, and/or post-silicon board-based validation and stability/performance testing.
  • Hands-on experience in packet-based testing/debug (traffic generation, packet capture/analysis, counters/statistics interpretation) for validating forwarding behavior and performance.
  • Experience with automation infrastructure and processes development; familiarity with scripts/tools such as C, Perl, TCL, makefiles, and shell scripts.
  • Familiar with ASIC development.
  • Analytical Skills – Ability to collect information and identify fundamental patterns/trends in data; gather, integrate, and interpret information from several sources.
  • Building Trusting Relationships – Ability to build collaborative relationships and deliver on commitments.
  • Communication – Ability to convey information clearly and accurately to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Decision-Making – Ability to make quick, accurate decisions and weigh alternatives based on impact.
  • Getting Work Done – Organized, planful execution across multiple parallel tasks and dependencies.
  • Mentoring and Coaching – Ability to mentor, guide, and develop others (including technical leadership without direct reports).
  • Technical Knowledge – Ability to learn and apply system/SoC and networking datapath knowledge to deliver VI solutions.
  • Excellent teamwork, interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Fluent in Chinese and English both verbal and written.
  • Ability to work in stressful situations with tight schedules to meet.
  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 6+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
  • PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • MS/BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (MS preferred).
