I korthet

Qualcomm is looking for a Wireless Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize real-time embedded modem software using AI-native development practices. This role involves leveraging AI tooling for code generation, testing, and debugging complex firmware for cellular connectivity. The engineer will work on low-level firmware and protocol software for various devices.

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, not an afterthought.
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.

Önskade kvalifikationer

Bonus: experience fine-tuning, prompt-engineering, or building tooling around code models; familiarity with embedding/vector search over source repositories.

Förmåner

Competitive annual discretionary bonus program.
Opportunity for annual RSU grants.
Highly competitive benefits package designed to support success at work, at home, and at play.
Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer; all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or any other protected classification.
