Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering

General Summary:

Qualcomm Data Center team is developing High performance, Energy efficient server solution for data center applications. We are looking for highly talented, innovative, teamwork-oriented individuals for our cutting-edge technology work!

Our Mission
We are dedicated to transforming the industry by reimagining silicon and developing next-generation computing platforms. By joining our team, you’ll collaborate with world-class engineers to create innovative solutions that push the limits of performance, energy efficiency, and scalability. Our focus is on developing reference platforms based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC, delivering a comprehensive solution that includes hardware, software, reference designs, user guides, SDKs, and more.

Position: Power Integrity Engineer

As an experienced Power Integrity Engineer (individual contributor), you will work closely with the platform team and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software, firmware, packaging, product management, and component suppliers. You will lead the definition, analysis, and verification of end-to-end power integrity (PI) solutions from die to system level—establishing droop targets, designing and implementing the power distribution network (PDN), and validating PDN quality through lab measurements.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with SoC, firmware/software, packaging, and system design teams to define and implement power architectures that meet internal and customer requirements.
• Perform PDN modeling, simulation, and characterization for SoC, package, PCB, and VRs.
• Develop and provide implementation guidelines.
• Conduct model-to-hardware correlation.
• Define module interfaces and formats for simulation and customer guidelines.
• Lead PI model creation, simulation, and final design development.
• Streamline and automate design and analysis workflows.
• Prepare and present technical documentation and reports to stakeholders, including engineering teams, senior management, customers, and suppliers.

Minimum Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with a focus on Power Integrity (PI).
• 6+ years of experience in PI analysis, simulation, and PDN measurements.
• Strong understanding of PI fundamentals, power supply architectures, voltage regulator technologies, chip supply design, and PDNs.
• Experience developing PI methodologies and PDN modeling from die to system, with lab validation.
• Proficiency in PI simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS SIwave and Cadence Sigrity).
• Hands-on experience creating complex PI models and simulations.
• Proficiency with Unix/Linux environments and EDA tools using scripting.
• Knowledge of packaging and PCB technologies, design, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with 2.5D/3D packaging technologies, including CoWoS, InFo, EMIB, and RDL.
• Hands-on experience in electrical validation and compliance testing tools (VNAs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, TDR, differential probes).
• Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively within a cross-functional team environment.
• Strong technical documentation skills and excellent written and verbal communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Electrical or Computer Engineering, specializing in PI.
• 10+ years of experience in PI analysis, simulation, and PDN measurements.
• Strong knowledge of voltage regulator (VR) design principles and system-level performance.
• Expertise in computational electromagnetics and transmission line theory.
• Experience with package and PCB design tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (MATLAB, Perl, Python).

Minimum Qualifications:

•    Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
