I korthet

Qualcomm is looking for a Power Delivery and Voltage Regulator Validation Engineer for its datacenter platform development. This role involves hands-on validation of voltage regulators and power delivery networks, debug, and collaboration with hardware design teams to ensure robust and efficient power solutions for Snapdragon SoCs.

Ansvarsområden

  • Lead power delivery bring-up, including rail sequencing, VR enable/disable, and PDN health checks.
  • Define and own the end-to-end VR and PDN validation strategy and test plans.
  • Validate VRs, power rails, sequencing, margining, stability, efficiency, load regulation, transient response, current sharing, thermal characterization, PDN impedance, and telemetry interfaces.
  • Perform hands-on debug of power delivery issues and drive root-cause analysis.
  • Develop or maintain automation tools/scripts (Python, Shell, TCL) for VR testing.
  • Support DVT/PVT, factory bring-up, board re-spins, and field issues.
  • Support IR Drop, AC, and transient simulations and provide model-to-hardware correlation data.
  • Contribute to VR design reviews, component selection, and design-for-validation feedback.
  • Establish and maintain power delivery lab infrastructure, test fixtures, and measurement methodologies.
  • Generate and present validation reports, bring-up guides, and debug documentation.
  • Identify power delivery risks early and drive mitigation strategies.

Krav

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in board or platform hardware validation (Sr. Staff requires demonstrated broader scope or team technical leadership).
  • Hands-on experience with power delivery/power integrity in server-class or high-performance platforms.
  • Strong understanding of power sequencing and board-level debug.
  • Strong hands-on experience validating multi-phase voltage regulators, including control loop stability, efficiency, transient response, and PDN characterization.
  • Proficiency with lab equipment: high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, Eloads, Bench supplies, differential probes, current probes, PMBus/SMBus interface tools.
  • Understanding of VR topologies and control modes.
  • Familiarity with PMBus/AVSBus protocols and VR telemetry interfaces.
  • Automation and scripting experience (Python preferred).
  • Strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Ability to independently own validation execution and drive cross-functional alignment.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • 10+ years of platform power bring-up or validation experience.
  • Experience with PI simulation tools (e.g., Simplis/Simetrix, ANSYS SIwave) for model-to-hardware correlation.
  • Familiarity with 2.5D/3D packaging technologies and their impact on power delivery.
  • Experience with AI/ML compute platforms and their high-current, fast-transient power delivery requirements.
  • Experience with open compute / hyperscale server power delivery architectures (e.g., OCP, CRPS, ORv3).
  • Familiarity with VR co-design processes and feedback into hardware design teams.
  • Experience supporting manufacturing, factory, or field escalations.

Förmåner

  • Competitive annual discretionary bonus program
  • Opportunity for annual RSU grants
  • Highly competitive benefits package
  • Competitive salary range: $180,500.00 - $270,700.00
