Lead end-to-end execution of Qualcomm Data Center SoC software programs from architecture through production release, managing integrated schedules, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination across firmware, embedded software, system software, platform software, validation, and productization teams. Drive software readiness activities aligned to silicon and product milestones, track feature maturity and critical dependencies, and escalate risks impacting product schedules.…See more Communicate complex technical and program status to Director-level and executive leadership, establish execution frameworks supporting requirements traceability and release governance, and drive alignment across internal engineering teams and external ecosystem partners.

As a Camera Firmware Engineer at Qualcomm, you will define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP blocks and SoCs for high-performance camera systems. You will assist in creating architectures, circuit specifications, logic designs, and system simulations based on system-level requirements, collaborating with cross-functional teams.…See more The role requires hands-on use of ASIC design tools (RTL to GDS flow, Virtuoso) and evaluation of the design flow from high-level design through synthesis, place and route, timing, and power analysis. You will write technical documentation and support the development of implementation strategies that meet system and customer requirements.

Qualcomm seeks a Data Center Technical Software Program Manager to lead multiple medium-complexity programs through their full development lifecycle, partnering with product and engineering stakeholders to establish plans, manage risks, optimize schedules, and drive execution discipline. The role requires 5+ years combining technical product development and program management in SoC/embedded systems, with strong understanding of hardware/software development principles and end-to-end product integration.…See more Key responsibilities include developing program alignment across projects, establishing metrics and processes, managing stakeholder expectations, and communicating complex information to executives. The candidate will work with little supervision in a matrixed organization, applying program management discipline to deliver on budget, on schedule, and within scope.

Design, implement, and commercialize middleware/driver modules for multimedia on Qualcomm multi-processor chipsets across Windows, Linux, and Android platforms. Work on user and kernel mode software for video compression, playback, streaming, and imaging applications while optimizing for performance, latency, power, and stability.…See more Collaborate with systems engineering, test groups, and partners like Microsoft and Google across multiple sites. Requires 1–5 years of embedded software development, strong C/C++ skills, video compression standards knowledge (H.264, H.265, AV1), and expertise in embedded real-time OS debugging and ARM SoC development.

Blue Origin seeks a Technical Program Manager to lead SoC (System-on-Chip) development programs from requirements through production. The role requires managing complex hardware and semiconductor programs across multiple lifecycle phases, coordinating with highly technical engineering teams, external suppliers, and IP providers.…See more Responsibilities include change management, build-versus-buy decisions, supplier strategy, scheduling, risk management, and translating between detailed technical execution and business objectives.
