RF Hardware Customer Engineer -Lead

The Customer Engineering hardware team provides hardware support to all customers using Qualcomm's system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. This includes technical support throughout all phases of the design cycle, from product introduction to design review to production issues. Customer engineering also bridges customer requirements with internal plan of record, identify gaps in requirement, and propose solutions to mitigate the gaps.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide hardware design support to customers using Qualcomm's SoC solutions
• Research and answer technical questions on Qualcomm SoC, baseband topics, and associated peripherals
• Resolve technical problems through hands-on troubleshooting
• Perform block diagram, schematic, parts placement, and PCB routing reviews on customer platforms, including DDR and Power Delivery simulation
• Aid customers in implementing new technology using Qualcomm solutions
• Optimize customer system thermal and power as well as BOM reduction
• Create and maintain hardware documentation and design collaterals
• Support Qualcomm Wireless connectivity products from design into mass production phase
• Play consultant/expert role to guide customer design and troubleshooting
• Work with customers on wireless connectivity chipset debug

The ideal candidate will have experience in the design and production of HW baseband systems and circuits for highly integrated SoC and RF IC, familiarity with complex multi-layered PCB design, schematic, and layout. They should be self-motivated, flexible, and work well with large interdisciplinary hardware teams. Experience in integration, debug, and problem reproduction on internal and customer platforms is desired, along with coding experience. Strong communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment are essential.
