I korthet

Qualcomm is hiring a Wireless S/W Engineer for their Modem Systems Software team in San Diego, California. The role involves designing, developing, and optimizing real-time embedded software for cellular connectivity, with a strong emphasis on AI-native development practices using LLMs and agentic tools to accelerate engineering workflows.

Ansvarsområden

Design, implement, and optimize real-time embedded modem software across protocol layers, drivers, and platform services, meeting strict latency, memory, and power constraints.
Apply rigorous data-structure and algorithm design to build efficient, scalable firmware components.
Own end-to-end feature delivery: requirements, architecture, implementation, unit/integration testing, on-target bring-up, and maintenance.
Pioneer AI-native development practices within the team — integrate AI coding agents into daily workflows, establish agent rules and prompt patterns, and measurably reduce development and debug cycle time.
Build and maintain AI-assisted tooling for code review, static analysis, test synthesis, and automated crash/log triage over the modem codebase.
Debug and root-cause complex, multi-layer issues on target hardware, increasingly leveraging AI-assisted analysis of logs, traces, and RAM dumps.
Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, hardware, test, and integration teams to deliver production-quality modem firmware.
Contribute to code reviews, design reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering standards — including standards for the responsible and effective use of AI in the SDLC.
Mentor peers on both embedded fundamentals and AI-native engineering techniques.

Krav

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Strong command of data structures and algorithms with the ability to reason about time/space complexity in memory- and cycle-constrained environments.
Deep understanding of operating systems concepts: scheduling, concurrency, interrupts, memory management, IPC, real-time constraints, and RTOS internals (e.g., QuRT, ThreadX, FreeRTOS, or similar).
Proven programming proficiency in modern C/C++ (C++17 and beyond), including performance optimization, cache-aware design, and lock-free/thread-safe patterns.
Experience with embedded software on DSP and Arm architectures, including familiarity with SIMD/vectorization, DMA, and low-power design.
Experience with debugging on target hardware — JTAG, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, crash-dump / RAM-dump analysis, and log parsing.
Familiarity with device drivers, HAL layers, boot flows, and hardware/software co-design.
AI-first mindset: treat AI tooling as a core engineering multiplier.
Experience using AI coding assistants and agentic tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cline, Claude/GPT-based agents) to generate, refactor, and review embedded C/C++ at scale.
Ability to build and maintain AI-augmented developer workflows: prompt libraries, agent rules, retrieval-augmented context over large firmware codebases, and MCP-style tool integrations.
Experience applying LLMs to crash triage, log summarization, root-cause analysis, and automated defect classification in complex embedded systems.
Interest in AI-assisted test generation and verification — synthesizing unit/integration tests, fuzzing harnesses, and coverage-driven test expansion for modem software.
Comfort evaluating AI output critically: understanding hallucination risks, validating generated code against timing/memory budgets, and enforcing safety and correctness in real-time firmware.
