Software Gigs

Senior Software QA Engineer responsible for validating Firestorm's avionics platform—embedded Linux and RTOS flight computers, drivers, middleware, and safety-critical interfaces. Will design and execute risk-based test strategies (feature, exploratory, regression, acceptance) across HIL/SIL rigs, build Python-driven automation for serial/CAN/Ethernet I/O and fault injection, and instrument diagnostics to isolate timing and state issues before Flight Test. Expected to own system testing end-to-end, validate robustness under degraded conditions (jitter, packet loss, brownouts, watchdog resets), and collaborate with avionics, autonomy, radio, and payload teams to harden reliability on aircraft.

This role focuses on system-level testing and validation of Qualcomm's leading-edge SoC products (Snapdragon, mobile, compute, automotive, server chipsets). The engineer will conduct early-stage silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and develop automated test content to stress systems across functional, performance, stability, and benchmark dimensions under various operating conditions. Responsibilities include hardware characterization, software integration testing, creation of production screens, and collaboration with IC design and development teams. The position requires proficiency in embedded systems, SoC testing concepts, test case development, lab instrumentation, and programming in C/C++, Python, or C#.
