Qualcomm India Private Limited

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering

General Summary:

Job Purpose:

The role is to develop Board and Chip Support Packages and associated Platforms firmware for Qualcomm’s range of IOT chips. This will be embedded firmware and middleware software running on the on-chip processors. It will involve coding in ‘C’ and “assembly language” within a resource constrained multi-processor environment.

Right candidate shall be required to primarily contribute to all aspects of platform development. Candidate will require to familiarize himself with existing code deployed on earlier variants of the chip and further enhance or fix customer reported issues around the platform. Candidate will knowledge of Power Management, Audio Interfaces, RTOS based firmware development and/or Radio Interfaces would be preferred. Knowledge of peripheral interfaces such as USB, QSPI, I3C, UART, I2C and/or SPI would be very useful in this role. Role would further entail troubleshooting and resolving system issues ranging across multiple embedded application layers interfacing with other sub-systems within the chip or with hosting chipsets.

Candidate will need to take ownership of a project components and would be responsible for delivering the firmware software on timescales agreed with group leader/programme manager. Candidate is expected to work with minimal supervision.

Minimum Qualifications:

•    Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
