memory-controllers jobs in San Diego

This role focuses on developing and validating low-level DDR subsystem firmware and APIs across the entire product lifecycle, from design validation through post-silicon bring-up. Engineers will write C firmware for DDR initialization, training, power management, and performance features, then validate it across simulation, emulation, FPGA, and silicon environments.…See more The position requires strong embedded systems fundamentals, digital design knowledge, and hands-on hardware/software debugging to collect and analyze stability, power, performance, and functional data that inform product decisions. Cross-functional collaboration with design, DV, software, and architecture teams is central to optimizing DDR subsystem capabilities.

The SOC Platform Architect will work with hardware designers to gather and analyze power estimation data for Qualcomm SoC infrastructure IPs (interconnect, system cache, memory controllers, MMU), identify architectural bottlenecks and bugs, and propose optimizations. The role requires deep ASIC design and computer architecture expertise, along with understanding of system-level design, hardware-software trade-offs, and complete silicon design flows.…See more The candidate will coordinate with domain leads to ensure robust infrastructure deployment aligned with product requirements. Required background: 7+ years ASIC design/verification (or 5+ with a master's degree).

Senior Staff SoC Systems Performance Engineer responsible for analyzing and defining next-generation system-on-chip architectures across mobile, automotive, and compute products. The role involves conducting performance, power, and thermal analysis; deploying simulators and profilers to identify bottlenecks; and collaborating with hardware, software, and product teams to drive architectural decisions.…See more Requires 5+ years of systems engineering experience with deep knowledge of computer architecture (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, memory hierarchies, cache coherency) and hands-on proficiency with performance modeling tools, SystemC simulators, and profiling methodologies.
