power-architecture jobs in San Diego

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).

This role architecting and developing AI and database infrastructure platforms for enterprise and hyperscale datacenters, with system-level design spanning compute, storage, networking, power, and thermal domains. The engineer will lead datacenter power architecture validation, thermal design, and manufacturability; conduct root-cause analysis across hardware, firmware, OS, and infrastructure layers; and develop automation tooling in Bash, Python, and C.…See more The position requires broad systems engineering ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and technical leadership to bring new platform capabilities from prototype to production while ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards.

Qualcomm seeks a Systems Software Power Engineer to optimize power efficiency for next-generation Snapdragon SoCs. The role spans the full lifecycle from pre-silicon modeling through post-silicon debug, requiring expertise in power architectures, control loops, and low-power techniques across hardware and software layers.…See more Key responsibilities include driving end-to-end power optimization across architecture, firmware, kernel, and Android teams; prototyping and evaluating power features; executing post-silicon power KPI validation; and developing power debug and analysis infrastructure. The position demands strong embedded software skills with hands-on experience in firmware and Linux kernel development, plus solid understanding of computer architecture, memory hierarchies, CPU/GPU design, and OS fundamentals.
