Embedded Developer LPDDR
Description
Role Summary
We are looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer with expertise in memory-centric system analysis for Mobile and Client Computing Platforms. The role focuses on DDR/LPDDR-based power, performance, and workload analysis, contributing to next-generation system and product decisions while collaborating closely with Architecture, Product, Design, and Workload Engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform system-level analysis of DDR/LPDDR memories (LPDDR4/LPDDR5/LPDDR5X preferred).
- Execute power and performance characterization across workloads such as AI, graphics, gaming, productivity, idle, and active states.
- Analyze memory bandwidth, latency, power states, DVFS behavior, and memory usage patterns.
- Conduct workload profiling and characterization on Android and/or Client OS platforms.
- Develop scripts and utilities for workload characterization.
- Provide data-driven insights to Architecture and Product teams regarding memory features, configurations, and trade-offs.
- Perform competitive analysis and generate KPIs for internal reviews.
- Support customer/OEM debug and evaluation activities.
- Prepare technical documentation, dashboards, and analysis reports.
Required Skills
- 3-5 years of experience in Processor, SoC, or Memory domains (Mobile and/or Client platforms).
- Strong understanding of DDR/LPDDR architecture, preferably LPDDR.
- Strong programming skills in C and/or Python.
- Hands-on experience in:
- Power analysis (active, idle, standby, workload-driven)
- Performance analysis (bandwidth, latency, bottleneck identification)
- Understanding of memory controllers, power states, clocks, and interconnects.
- Experience working with real hardware platforms such as phones, client systems, or development boards.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with LPDDR5/LPDDR5X or DDR5.
- Exposure to AI/ML, graphics, or performance-intensive workloads.
- Familiarity with Android or Client OS power/performance frameworks.
- OEM/customer-facing debug and analysis experience.
- Ability to work across HW-SW system boundaries.
Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently with high ownership.
- Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.
- Effective collaboration with cross-functional teams.
