Location California - San Diego

Job Overview One of the largest fabless design company in the world provides hardware, software and related services to nearly every mobile device maker and operator in the global wireless marketplace. The Graphics System Team is responsible for the development of end to end and system on chip (SOC) architectural solutions for next generation of graphics processing units (GPUs) and compute devices. This position involves GPU-centric use case analyses of Mobile games/benchmarks, Visual User Interface, DNN-based use-cases/benchmarks, AR/VR use cases and Automotive use cases. This includes thermally-constrained performance of such use cases which requires Snapdragon SOC power estimation which is key to GPU Product Planning. These estimations are then established as targets for the product which will then need to be validated during the life of the product. Validation helps improve model accuracy, identify inefficiencies in SW/HW implementation and offers clues for future SW/HW architecture enhancements. This role requires basic understanding of power concepts and different SOC components (such as CPU, DDR, path-to-DDR). This role also requires working on Android-based devices for measuring performance and power. GPU-centric use case analyses require background in Android and Graphics and involves capturing API-logs, measuring CPU utilization, measuring memory BW information etc on existing silicon. All Qualcomm employees are expected to actively support diversity on their teams, and in the Company.
