Responsibilities: - A Telematics Systems Performance Engineer for Qualcomm SoCs (Snapdragon Automotive Platforms) must bridge embedded software, hardware architecture, and wireless technologies.
- The role focuses on profiling, analyzing, and optimizing SoC Performance, power, thermal, and KPI efficiency for connected vehicles and IoT.
- Skillset Required: Wireless Protocols:
- Familiarity with connectivity modules like 5G, LTE, WLAN.
- Auto Use cases:
- Familiarity with telematics and automotive use cases such as C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything)
- eCall, IMS, GNSS/location subsystems, PCIe, WLAN etc.
- Power Profiling: Hands-on experience with hardware/software power management stacks, sleep states, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)
- ARM Architecture Solid grasp of ARM processor microarchitectures (e.g., ARMv8, ARMv9), multicore/multiprocessor configurations, and virtualization (Hypervisors like GVM, QNX etc.)
- Memory Hierarchy & Interconnects:
- Understanding of DDR interfaces, Non-Cache Coherent Interconnects (NoC), AXI/AHB bus protocols, Memory Management Units (MMU/SMMU) cache hierarchy (L1, L2, LLCC) etc.
- System Profiling: Ability to correlate hardware counters (e.g., Coresight-PMU) with software behavior Debugging Tools:
- Proficiency with profiling and tracing tools such as Ftrace, Perf, Qualcomm Snapdragon Platforms etc.
- Workload Analysis Ability to
- analyze complex use cases (e.g., simultaneous 5G data streaming, navigation, and AI inferencing) and pinpoint performance or thermal bottlenecks.
- Cross-functional collaboration with global hardware, software, and product management teams to define hardware architecture trade-offs.
- Scripting & Automation: Proficiency in Python and Bash for data parsing, test automation, and building performance analysis workflows Operating Systems
- Good knowledge of Embedded Linux (kernel internals, scheduling, locking mechanisms) and Android (AOSP, Binder, surface flinger)
- Lab Equipment: Hand-on experience in handling Evaluation boards, lab equipment like Modem Network simulators (Keysight, R&S, TBS etc.), Power measurement setup, oscilloscope etc.
Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree in Computers or Electronics Engineering.
- 8+ years of experience in SoC System performance analysis.
- Must be quick learner and should be able to adapt to new technologies
- Working experience of scripting languages (perl, python) and Automating work-flows
- Ability to create professional quality reports and slides using MS Office or any advanced visualization tools.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
- Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
- PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
