General Summary: About The Role Qualcomm offers flexible work options tailored to our employee's needs. These include a combination of work from home and working in our brand new, state of the art office in Penrose Dock, Cork. Well-being and life balance are fundamental to Qualcomm as an employer. We recognise and understand that employees have missed spending quality time with loved ones and extended family. As such, Cork Qualcomm policy allows our employees to blend short-term remote working with annual leave. As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives communication and data processing transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Engineer, you will define, model, design (digital and/or analog), optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for a variety of high performance, high quality, low power world class products. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path.
As a Post Silicon Power and Performance Engineer with a focus on CPUs, you will work to characterize, debug, and optimize the performance and power consumption of CPUs in a complex SoC system. You will help set up methodologies, develop validation plans, recommend tuning optimizations, and verify that the newly arrived silicon meets the highest performance. You will also participate in architecture and product definition feedback for the next generation of CPU by closing the loop with real silicon analysis.
Roles and Responsibilities will include: Define and execute end-to-end performance and power analysis plans for complex CPU subsystemsDebug issues found during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases of SoC programsDefine an optimization strategy that delivers world class CPU workload performanceLead collaborative test approach with multiple teams, and tracking test execution to make sure all features are performant and optimized on timeWork closely with supporting teams in design, architecture, emulation, firmware, design verification and software to ensure readiness for first silicon arrival, evaluation of IP performance upon silicon arrival, and evaluation of critical CPU workloadsDevelop deep knowledge of CPU architecture, SoC system architecture, system benchmarking techniques, and power reduction and optimization methodsDrive technical innovation to enhance capabilities in CPU performance, system performance and power validation including tools and script development, technical and procedural methodology enhancement, and various internal and cross-functional technical initiativesWhat are we looking for? Bachelor or Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering5 to 10+ years of practical experience in post silicon performance and power analysis of SoCsStrong programming/scripting skills (C/C++, Python scripts)Strong analytical skills for test plan creation and debugStrong communication and collaboration skillsMust excel in a dynamic team working environmentMust be a self-starter and be able to independently drive tasks to completionLeadership and mentoring skills a definite assetProven understanding of CPU, memory hierarchy, system interconnects.Knowledge and experience in ARM v8 and v9 specificationsSolid grasp of ARM SoC concepts and architecture specifications like SMMU, GIC, Coresight-PMU and Timer architecturesExtensive experience in the following technical areas:Proven understanding of critical industry CPU workloads and system interactions and dependenciesPlatform benchmarking and knowledge of performance workloadsPerformance analysis tools and analysis techniquesPower analysis methods and comprehensive understanding of power consumptionPower management methodologies and deep understanding of tuning and optimizationModern lab equipment, including DAQs, protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopesComputer hardware and architecture (experience with datacenter servers a plus)Where you will be working Cork has a proud reputation as Ireland's second largest economic engine and is now one of the Top 20 location choices in Europe with 39,000 people being employed by over 170 overseas companies.
