TL;DR · Careers

Join Qualcomm Cloud System Hardware and Validation Engineering as a Hardware Engineer to contribute to the development of advanced AI inference solutions for liquid-cooled data centers. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design motherboards, add-in cards, and modules for new AI SoCs/SIPs, supporting rack-level integration and validation from concept to production. Daily tasks include developing basic hardware features under supervision, evaluating device performance, troubleshooting issues, and documenting changes. Essential skills encompass system/card/rack-level development, board-level design expertise, component qualification, high-speed interface knowledge, memory management, and proficiency in tools like Cadence Allegro and Mentor Expedition. Ideal candidates have a Master's degree and 5+ years of relevant experience in hardware engineering and systems development.

What you'll do

  • Design motherboards and add-in cards for AI SoC/SIP under supervision.
  • Develop rack-level systems including chassis, backplane, cabling, and thermal management.
  • Qualify PMICs, VRMs, flash memory, and connectors for complex card designs.
  • Troubleshoot high-speed interfaces like PCIe Gen5/6 and 200 GbE issues.
  • Collaborate with ODMs on rack-level design and manufacturing reviews.

What we're looking for

  • Proven rack-level system integration expertise including chassis, backplane, cabling, airflow, and thermal management.
  • Deep knowledge in PCIe card/module design, high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen5/6, LPDDR4x/5x), and signal integrity analysis.
  • Experience qualifying PMICs, VRMs, flash memory, connectors for complex rack-level designs.
  • Hands-on experience with dense PCB designs (8–20+ layers) and debugging in high-performance systems.
  • Proficient in schematic capture tools (Cadence Allegro, Mentor Expedition) and circuit simulation software (SPICE).
  • Strong collaboration skills with ODMs on joint design reviews and compliance to Qualcomm guidelines.
