I korthet

Qualcomm is hiring a Senior Staff Cloud System Architect to design and develop cutting-edge AI inference solutions for next-generation data centers. This role involves leading system architecture, hardware design, and collaborating with cross-functional teams and ODMs from concept through production. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in enterprise-class hardware platforms, particularly at the rack level.

Ansvarsområden

  • Develop system architecture, design reviews, component selections, mechanical and thermal designs, and test plans.
  • Co-develop functional specifications for systems, cards, sub-systems, and rack-level architectures.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and ODMs to develop and support customer-specific hardware and system requirements.
  • Facilitate consensus on technical trade-offs at hardware, software, design levels.
  • Support architecture and card designs including accelerator SoCs, memory, I/O, power delivery, electrical/mechanical integration, and PCB definition/design.
  • Participate in the design and development of rack-level inference solutions, ensuring alignment with customer requirements and system-level performance goals.
  • Resolve architecture and design issues across system, card, and rack levels.
  • Assist in the bring-up and debugging of hardware systems, cards, and rack-level configurations.
  • Provide technical oversight and manufacturing processes, ensuring quality and consistency across rack-level deployments.
  • Contribute to writing Statements of Work (SOWs) and ODM product requirements; drive technical milestones and deliverables.
  • Coordinate across multiple development sites, including Qualcomm locations and ODM/JDM partners in Taiwan and internationally.
  • Coordinate and deliver technical training for ODMs, with a focus on rack-level system integration and deployment.

Krav

  • Minimum 15+ years in system/card/rack-level development, including architecture, design, validation, and deployment of enterprise-class hardware platforms.
  • Proven experience in rack-level system integration, including chassis, backplane, cabling, airflow, and thermal management across multiple cards/modules.
  • Familiarity with rack-scale power delivery, including PDUs, VRMs, PMICs, and power budgeting across multiple boards.
  • Experience with rack-level diagnostics and bring-up, including debug of interconnects, signal integrity across long traces/cables, and system-level validation.
  • Understanding of rack-level mechanical constraints, EMI shielding, and compliance with data center deployment standards.
  • Collaboration with ODMs on rack-level design and manufacturing, including review of mechanical drawings, thermal simulations, and compliance testing.
  • Deep knowledge of PCIe cards, motherboards, daughtercards, and backplane signal and power delivery.
  • Expertise in chassis design, airflow optimization, and thermal management.
  • Solid understanding of system software operation from bootloader to OS and application layers.
  • Experience qualifying PMICs, voltage regulators (VRs), clock buffers, flash memory, and connectors for use in complex card and rack-level designs.
  • Hands-on experience in dense, high-layer count PCB designs (8–20+ layers).
  • Skilled in PCIe add-in card/module design, debugging in high-performance systems (x86 and ARM).
  • Familiarity with JTAG tools for bring-up and debug.
  • Experience with networking switches and high speed ethernet interfaces
  • Knowledge of high-speed serial I/O (6–10+ Gbps), PCIe Gen5/6, LPDDR4x/5x, DDR4/5, 200/400/800 GbE.
  • Experience with long PCB/cable topologies (0.35–1.5 meter), signal integrity, and compliance with current standards.
  • Ability to debug at packet/protocol level across link, transport, transaction, and command layers.
  • Experience with LPDDR4x memory technologies, DIMM layout and validation.
  • Expertise in clock distribution, power distribution, SMBus, PMBus, SPI, PWM/Tach, and BMC integration.
  • Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Cadence Allegro, Mentor Expedition).
  • Experience with circuit simulation tools (SPICE), signal/power integrity analysis.
  • Skilled in using lab equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, SMBus, serial debuggers.
  • Strong collaboration with ODMs on joint designs, schematic/layout reviews, and compliance to Qualcomm design guidelines.
  • Good understanding of x86 FW/SW stack and firmware architecture.
  • Experience with BMC hardware/software integration and management.
  • Familiarity with regulatory, environmental, and compliance testing for rack-level systems.
  • Familiarity with PCIE switch design/debug and test process
  • Familiarity with networking topology
  • Experience in Ethernet Switch hardware
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 15+ years of hardware engineering experience or related work experience.
