QualcommJob Title
Digital SoC Product Development & Test Engineer (Integration)
Role Summary
Engineer responsible for developing and validating test solutions for highly integrated SoC products. Works across design, foundry, yield, reliability and manufacturing teams to commercialize and support SoC test programs.
Primary focus: test hardware and software development, hardware/software integration, silicon characterization and production yield improvement.
Experience Level
Mid-level. 1–2 years of relevant experience preferred.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include design, integration, characterization and production support for SoC test development:
- Design and debug test interface hardware (loadboards) and related fixtures.
- Develop and validate test software / test programs for ATE and lab environments.
- Integrate hardware and software for first-silicon bring-up and debug.
- Develop characterization plans and run device characterization and data analysis.
- Define process experiments (splits) and support multiple-source fab matching.
- Generate test limits/guardbands and drive failure analysis to closure.
- Drive test-time reduction and yield improvement initiatives across parallel projects while maintaining production quality.
- Produce product documentation and present results to cross-functional teams.
Requirements
Core technical skills and experience expected for success in this role.
- Experience with SoC test development, including loadboard and ATE test-program creation.
- Hands-on debugging of hardware and software integration during first-silicon bring-up.
- Experience developing characterization plans and analyzing device/test data.
- Knowledge of failure analysis processes and methods to close hardware issues.
- Familiarity with yield analysis and initiatives to improve production yield and reduce test time.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate with design, foundry, and manufacturing teams.
- Good technical communication skills and experience preparing product/test documentation.
- Nice-to-have: experience defining process splits, fab matching, or working on mobile SoC platforms.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is required or expected. The posting indicates 1–2 years of experience is preferred.
