Qualcomm seeks a Staff Engineer to lead development of LLVM-Ripple, a compiler toolchain for massively parallel applications on Snapdragon platforms. You will design and optimize compiler components (front-end, middle-end, back-end), parallel runtimes, and developer-facing features for heterogeneous compute architectures.…See more Key responsibilities include architecting runtime improvements, evolving programming abstractions, collaborating with hardware teams to expose new parallel features, and driving performance optimization across the full ecosystem. The role requires deep expertise in compiler internals, parallel programming models (CUDA, OpenCL, OpenMP, SIMD/SIMT), C/C++, and performance analysis on modern SoCs.

Design, implement, and optimize real-time embedded modem firmware across protocol layers and drivers while meeting strict latency, memory, and power constraints. Pioneer AI-native development practices by integrating AI coding agents, LLM-based code review, and automated test synthesis into daily workflows to accelerate delivery and debugging.…See more Own end-to-end feature delivery from requirements through on-target bring-up, and debug complex multi-layer hardware issues using AI-assisted analysis. Requires deep expertise in modern C/C++, embedded systems (DSP/Arm architectures), RTOS internals, data structures, and hands-on target hardware debugging, combined with practical experience using AI coding assistants and agentic tools.

Lead the design and development of embedded NPU software frameworks, runtime libraries, and system drivers for AI acceleration across Snapdragon SoCs. Architect optimizations for high-performance, low-power multimedia and machine learning workloads spanning mobile, automotive, compute, and XR platforms.…See more Work across the full software stack—from low-level drivers to high-level frameworks—collaborating with hardware and systems teams. Mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and own system-level integration across CPU/DSP/NPU subsystems.

Design, develop, and optimize real-time embedded modem software for Qualcomm's cellular platforms (5G/6G), working close to the metal with performant C/C++ on DSP and Arm cores across protocol layers, drivers, and RTOS components. Own end-to-end feature delivery from requirements through on-target validation, with strict latency, memory, and power constraints.…See more Pioneer AI-native development practices by integrating code-generation agents, LLM-based code review, and automated test synthesis into daily workflows to accelerate delivery and debugging. Debug complex multi-layer issues on target hardware, increasingly leveraging AI-assisted log and crash analysis.

The Algorithm Software Engineer will design, develop, and deploy signal processing applications on custom Leidos SoCs, porting algorithms from MATLAB/Python/C++ to optimized C code for real-time, massively parallelized execution. Responsibilities include hardware-software co-design, DSP optimization leveraging SIMD/VLIW/accelerators, Hardware-in-the-loop testing, and collaboration across signal processing, embedded, RF, and systems engineering teams.…See more The role requires 8+ years of C/C++ embedded systems development, strong signal processing fundamentals, and experience translating research algorithms into production real-time systems.
