Qualcomm Hardware Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop solutions and meet performance requirements.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 8+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.We are looking for CPU Systems Debug Engineers to lead end-to-end system-level debug for Oryon server-class CPUs, spanning core, uncore, memory, fabric, firmware, and platform interactions from first silicon through production.
What you’ll do
• Lead system-level post-silicon debug across CPU cores, LLC, interconnect, memory, and I/O
• Debug complex issues involving coherency, ordering, interrupts, power management, and RAS
• Analyze failures across HW–FW–OS boundaries, including boot, stress, and long-running workloads
• Use on-chip trace, logic analyzers, performance counters, firmware instrumentation, and lab tools
• Drive root-cause analysis and closure in partnership with Architecture, RTL, DV, FW, PD, and Platform teams
• Support ES bring-up, stepping qualification, and system sign-off
• Feed system-level learnings back into future CPU architecture, firmware, and debug infrastructure
What we’re looking for
• 12–20 years of experience in CPU/SoC system debug, post-silicon validation, or platform bring-up
