Lead bring-up, debug, and failure analysis for Server/Compute/Mobile SoCs in pre-Si and post-Si phases, using RTL inspection, JTAG, and lab equipment to root-cause issues at the platform level. Develop and execute debug strategies and plans to help partners rapidly triage and isolate failing components, including PVT and marginality analysis.…See more Investigate manufacturing defects, determine root causes, and drive corrective actions to improve product quality. Requires 6+ years of embedded platform enabling, pre/post-silicon debug, and complex issue resolution experience, plus strong understanding of RTL, low-level hardware/software debugging, CPU/SoC architectures, and server-specific boot and reboot scenarios.

Qualcomm seeks a Principal Engineer with 18+ years of Linux kernel, KVM, or TEE development experience to lead the design and development of security, virtualization, confidential compute, and trusted execution environment features for next-generation RISC-V SoCs. The role requires hands-on technical leadership at the hardware–software intersection, driving upstream contributions to OpenSBI, KVM, and the Linux kernel, collaborating with hardware teams on silicon and emulation bring-up, and guiding compliance test integration.…See more Strong expertise in virtualization, confidential compute, TEEs, and debugging tools (ftrace, perf, kgdb, crash) is essential; RISC-V architecture exposure and proven open-source community contributions are highly valued.

Senior Staff Engineer role focused on developing next-generation automotive telematics platform software at Qualcomm.
