• Should be able to ramp up quickly on Qualcomm automotive chipsets and platforms along with the feature set offered.
• Designs and implements software sub-systems for complex, large-scale products and systems.
• Leads design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules.
• Perform threat modeling on system security, derive security recommendations and incorporate them into security designs.
• Performs highly complex code reviews and regression tests as well as triages and fixes issues to ensure the quality of code. 
• Collaborates with individuals outside the software function (e.g., Hardware, Systems, and Test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.
• Writes detailed technical documentation for highly complex Software projects; reviews technical documentation for junior engineers.

Level of Responsibility:

• Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey highly complex and/or detailed information. May require strong negotiation and influence with large groups or high-level constituents.
