Software Gigs

Build emulation frameworks and tools for cyber-physical systems, extending platforms like QEMU in C/C++ and Python to support new embedded architectures (ARM, PPC, etc.). Rehost and reverse-engineer unknown firmware by analyzing binaries and hardware dependencies, then develop virtual device models and digital simulations validated against real hardware behavior. Work within a small focused team on architecture, implementation, testing, and technical documentation of modular emulation software.

Staff-level RF control software engineer responsible for designing and implementing software abstraction layers that support diverse radio hardware configurations on common protocol stacks. Designs test mode interfaces for hardware characterization and RF performance tuning, and optimizes device control transactions for multi-RAT, multi-SIM, and concurrent radio operations. Applies expertise in antenna concepts, signal characterization, and RF component control (amplifiers, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, mixers, switches, sensors). Collaborates across ASIC design, modem/RF systems, systems test, hardware, and firmware teams while providing technical leadership at design reviews.

As a CPU Power Management Firmware Developer, you will design, implement, and verify embedded firmware for power and performance management across Qualcomm's custom CPU subsystems and SoCs. You'll collaborate with hardware power management and firmware teams to define and implement solutions, working in both pre-silicon and post-silicon environments. The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience with proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems, and RTOS/OS kernel development, plus demonstrated experience with embedded operating systems and ARM architecture.

Senior Staff Software Engineer role at Qualcomm focused on power and thermal management for next-generation ARM-based data-center server platforms. You will analyze system-level use cases, optimize DVFS and power-limiting mechanisms, develop algorithms to reduce power consumption, and perform system-level optimizations using hardware and software techniques. The role requires 6+ years of software engineering experience (or equivalent with advanced degree), 3+ years with C, C++, Java, or Python, and preferred expertise in power/performance measurement, ARM architecture, SoC design, Linux, real-time operating systems, and device drivers.

Develop bare-metal firmware and low-level device drivers for Qualcomm reference platforms, focusing on hardware bring-up, validation, and early platform enablement. Work directly with hardware and silicon teams to debug SoC peripherals, implement test firmware, and resolve hardware/software integration issues using lab instrumentation and debug tools. Design and maintain register-level software for a wide range of integrated peripherals including memory, displays, cameras, RF transceivers, and communication interfaces. Requires deep expertise in embedded systems, processor architectures, and hardware protocols with strong problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills.
