Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering
General Summary:Qualcomm’s System Validation & Emulation (SVE) team is part of the central SoC validation organization responsible for ensuring end-to-end silicon quality across pre- and post-silicon phases.
This team focuses on content quality and system-level validation enablement, offering deep exposure to Qualcomm SoCs through bare-metal validation content, scalable automation frameworks, and complex system debugs. Engineers in this role work across HW and SW boundaries to develop, validate, and scale system-level test content, ensuring high-quality silicon validation across a wide range of SoC domains.
Excellent Opportunity to work on cutting-edge SoCs across multiple product segments, including:
- Premium mobile and flagship platforms
- Data center
- AI Accelerator platform





Role OverviewWe are seeking an experienced DDR Validation Engineer for end-to-end validation of next-generation LPDDR5X and LPDDR6 memory subsystems on AI Accelerator and Flagship mobile platforms. This role will lead memory bring-up, performance validation, system stress, debug, and production readiness from pre-silicon through post-silicon phases.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and execute DDR validation strategy across emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
- Drive LPDDR5X/LPDDR6 bring-up, training validation, frequency scaling, low-power state validation, and feature enablement.
- Develop and execute validation plans covering memory functionality, performance, reliability, power, and corner-case scenarios.
- Lead debug of DDR controller, PHY, firmware, SI/PI, timing, and system-level issues.
- Validate interactions between DDR, CPU, GPU, NPU, cache hierarchy, NoC, and system software.
- Drive bandwidth, latency, QoS, memory pressure, and AI workload characterization.
- Develop scalable automation, regression infrastructure, and debug analytics frame
