Hardware EngineeringGeneral Summary:The VI (Validation and Integration) team are looking for an adaptable, enthusiastic and reliable individual to join our team of skilled engineers in Cambridge. The team plays a pivotal role in the transfer to production of the company’s Mobile, Voice & Music and IoT products, from bring-up to lab evaluation to mass production. During this time, it is at the centre of an ongoing process to validate, optimize and debug the performance of the radio system. This work is done in conjunction with colleagues across a variety of teams both in the UK and overseas. Working within our team provides a unique opportunity to work across the engineering disciplines from high-level software to low-level hardware. This is enabled, in addition to the work on Qualcomm’s products, by the fact that the team also actively develops its own in-house automation infrastructure in collaboration with other teams.The group consists of multi-disciplined (RF, analogue, software and digital) engineers who work closely with specialist design and systems engineers. This broad base of knowledge is deployed to provide optimal tuning and configuration solutions for radio operation. The role is predominantly lab-based working at circuit, cell, subsystem and system level.Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
