Company:Qualcomm China## Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware EngineeringGeneral Summary:### OverviewSupport the post-silicon validation and characterization of RF, mixed-signal or high-speed IO IP blocks, including Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, AD/DA and PCIe. In this role, execute comprehensive validation plans to ensure functional performance, troubleshoot complex design issues, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to facilitate the transition to high‑volume production.## Duties / Responsibilities
- Validation & Test Execution: Conduct functional verification and performance characterization for Wireless and Mixed‑Signal IPs across Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) corners. Collaborate with senior engineers to define and refine test cases based on device specifications.
- Debug & Analysis: Perform electrical validation of RF blocks and high‑speed interfaces. Analyze measurement logs to detect anomalies, reproduce failure scenarios in the lab, and drive root‑cause identification in partnership with design teams.
- Lab Automation & Infrastructure: Develop and maintain robust automation scripts using C#, LabVIEW to control test instrumentation (Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Signal Generators) and streamline data collection efficiency.
- Documentation & Reporting: Generate detailed technical reports, manage execution schedules, and document test methodologies.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Communication Engineering or related field; Master’s preferred.
- Experience: 1–4 years of industry experience in post‑silicon validation or hardware characterization. Hands‑on experience with RF/mixed‑signal lab equipment (e.g., VNA, Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes) is mandatory.
- RF/Wireless Knowledge: Solid understanding of wireless communication standards (Wi‑Fi 802.11ax/be, Bluetooth) and RF circuit concepts. Familiarity with high‑speed interfaces (PCIe, USB) is highly desirable.
- Test Automation: Proficiency in C# or LabVIEW for test program development.
- Core Competencies: Strong analytical troubleshooting skills, attention to detail, and effective bilingual communication (English/Chinese) for cross‑site collaboration.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.
