Job Description

As a Qualcomm Product Software Engineer, this role requires working on product software development and testing tasks for various programs (e.g. Smartphones (Linux, Android OS etc.), computing devices (e.g. laptops, servers), automotive infotainment & ADAS systems, and other consumer & industrial IoT products). You will work and collaborate with various Qualcomm engineering teams e.g. software, systems, hardware, architecture, and test teams to deliver end‑to‑end product software solutions for such programs.

Software Integration Tasks

• Integrate software components and configurations to meet product specifications.
• Maintain and enhance automation for continuous integration systems.
• Resolve build failures and any software interface dependencies.
• Create and maintain build scripts to optimize the build generation process.
• Manage software configuration using version control systems (e.g. Perforce, Git, GitHub).
• Announce and release new software baselines.

Product Software Sanity Testing

• Sanity test the incremental builds to catch regression issues due to new integration tasks. This testing happens on‑target devices, simulators, and reference platforms.
• Debug any sanity test failures. This requires understanding of common on‑target debugging tools such as JTAG, ADB, simulators, log analysis, etc.
• Create scripts to automate the test scenarios and process logs.
  • Create test plans to cover test coverage for new features being enabled through software integration cycles.
  • Collaborate for design and code‑reviews with other technical & business team members.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Understanding of OPEN BMC and operating systems (CentOS/Ubuntu/RHEL) for x86, ARM64, and RISC‑V 64‑bit server platforms.
• Experience with open‑source benchmarking tools (DCPerf, Kubernetes, VectorDBBench) and AIML modules such as PyTorch and vLLM.
• Knowledge of debugging tools such as TRACE32, OpenOCD, etc. for compute and IoT projects.
• Experience with software development, debugging, and testing on ARM or x86 based compute and server product development for Linux‑based OS.
• Experience with using open source software, enabling such software for different hardware platforms by collaborating with software and hardware teams.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Apply software knowledge to assist and support the design, development, creation, modification, and validation of embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs.
• Analyze user needs and software requirements.
• Design and implement small software features for products and systems.
• Participate in design, coding for small features, unit testing, minor debugging fixes, and integration efforts to ensure projects are completed on schedule.
• Assist in performing code reviews and regression tests, and in triaging issues to ensure code quality.
• Collaborate with others inside the project team to accomplish project objectives.
• Write technical documentation for software projects.

Level of Responsibility

• Works under supervision.
• Decision‑making affects direct area of work or work group.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information.
• Tasks require multiple steps that can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem‑solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
