Senior PCB Designer responsible for designing and documenting high-density printed circuit board layouts for Qualcomm's 5G/6G platforms across Mobile, Automotive, Infrastructure, IoT, Compute, and R&D. The role requires mastery of advanced PCB design using tools like Siemens/Mentor Xpedition, PADS, Altium, or Cadence Allegro, with expertise in high-speed digital, RF, and analog circuit design. Must collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and resolve complex fabrication and assembly challenges while meeting manufacturing standards and schedule objectives.

Senior Technical Architect at HCLTech designing and implementing complex technical solutions for Apple products, from prototype through mass production. The role focuses on test fixture hardware design, integration with test instruments, and product testing, working closely with system design and diagnostics teams early in the development lifecycle. Responsibilities include designing electrical schematics and PCB layouts, debugging complex systems, and serving as a key liaison with Contract Manufacturers to validate test station hardware and software. Requires a B.S. in Electrical Engineering or similar with 3+ years of experience, strong knowledge of analog/digital/power electronics, and proficiency with CAD tools and industry protocols.

Qualcomm seeks a Sr. Staff/Principal Software Engineer to provide system-level technical leadership for next-generation ARM server platforms, spanning Linux kernel, firmware, and platform software. The role requires architecting across hardware, firmware, OS, and hypervisor boundaries using standards like ACPI, UEFI, SystemReady, SBSA/SBBR, and PSCI. Responsibilities include Linux kernel enablement, performance optimization, platform driver development, and guiding boot flows, power management, virtualization, and telemetry. This position demands 10+ years of hands-on Linux kernel development, deep C/assembly proficiency, firmware and pre/post-silicon debug experience, and the ability to mentor senior engineers while influencing SoC roadmaps.

Qualcomm Cloud AI team seeks a Linux device driver engineer to develop and extend Linux kernel driver code for QCR-100 accelerators and related products that handle image reprocessing and AI workloads. The role focuses on PCIe device setup, firmware loading, MHI bus, DMABUF importation, and DMA transfers. Required expertise includes Linux kernel driver development, C programming, git, and low-level debugging. Desirable experience includes PCIe stack knowledge, DMA/IOMMU understanding, DEB/RPM packaging, and embedded Linux systems connected via PCIe.

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.
