About the role

This role is ideal for a lightly seasoned technical expert and communicator who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. You will drive customer adoption from concept to commercialization and mass production, representing the voice of the customer internally while delivering best-in-class technical support externally. In this role, you’ll work closely with internal design, systems, and validation teams, and with external partners across thermal, power, SI/PI, and firmware disciplines. You'll also become deeply familiar with reference platforms and platform implementation guides to ensure customer system designs meet the highest performance and reliability standards.

Responsibilities

  • Lead hardware support for strategic customers adopting Qualcomm’s Automotive SoCs, including OEMs and Tier1s
  • Act as the primary technical interface for customer hardware teams during design, bring-up, validation, and deployment phases
  • Perform detailed reviews of customer schematics, PCB layouts, thermal designs, power delivery networks, and signal integrity plans
  • Support SoC interface validation and debug across DDR, PCIe Gen6/Gen7, CXL, Ethernet, and other high-speed interfaces
  • Collaborate closely with internal engineering, software, validation, and product teams to address technical challenges and customer feedback
  • Identify gaps in customer and internal design expectations and propose practical solutions or mitigations
  • Familiarize with the reference platforms and platform implementation guides developed by internal teams to effectively support customer development
  • Deliver high-quality technical documentation, training, and onboarding material for customer enablement

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Applications Engineering or Hardware Design experience or related work experience
  • Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Applications Engineering or Hardware Design experience or related work experience
  • PhD in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Applications Engineering or Hardware Design experience or related work experience

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Automotive platform design, bring-up, or customer-facing technical roles
  • Deep understanding of high-speed board design principles including DDR5, PCIe Gen6/Gen7, CXL, SerDes, and Ethernet
  • PDN design, SI/PI simulation and debug, EMI/EMC mitigation
  • Experience with system bring-up and debug tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills
  • Demonstrated ability to influence internal teams and manage customer engagements with high autonomy

Benefits

  • Salary range: $113,200.00 - $163,200.00
  • Competitive annual discretionary bonus program
  • Opportunity for annual RSU grants (employees on sales-incentive plans are not eligible for the annual bonus)
  • Highly competitive benefits package designed to support work-life balance
