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.

Design, develop, and optimize embedded software stacks for complex SoCs with multiple core types, memory hierarchies, and bus infrastructure at Qualcomm. Lead architectural decisions for Edge AI and multimedia use cases, balancing performance and power efficiency while creating SDKs for customer development. Collaborate with systems, hardware, and test engineers to define software architecture and drive optimization for ARM CPU and NPU acceleration. Requires 6+ years of software engineering experience (or 5+ with a Master's degree, 4+ with a PhD) and 3+ years with languages like C, C++, Java, or Python.
