System Performance Engineer, Staff

Summary

As a System Performance Engineer at Qualcomm, you will optimize and validate power, performance, and thermal behavior of Snapdragon chipsets across mobile, compute, automotive, IoT, and data center platforms. You will profile complex concurrent system use-cases in emulation and software environments (Android/Linux/Windows), define performance analysis plans across CPU, GPU, and AI/ML workloads, identify optimization opportunities in SoC architecture, and triage performance issues to root cause. You will collaborate with cross-functional hardware, software, and architecture teams, mentor junior engineers, and prepare technical recommendations for senior leadership. The role requires strong programming skills (Python, C/C++), deep knowledge of ARM SoC architecture, memory hierarchy, system interconnects, and hands-on experience with power/performance analysis tools and benchmarks.
