General Summary:
As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Software Engineer, you will design, develop, create, modify, and validate embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs that launch cutting-edge, world class products that meet and exceed customer needs. Qualcomm Software Engineers collaborate with systems, hardware, architecture, test engineers, and other teams to design system-level software solutions and obtain information on performance requirements and interfaces.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.Key Responsibilities:
Develop and enhance features in the Linux Kernel, particularly in areas such as virtualization (KVM), scheduling, and memory management (IOMMU).
Optimize power and performance management technologies like DVFS for next-generation ARM-based systems.
Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure the successful delivery of high-performance, scalable software solutions.
Debug and resolve complex software issues using tools like JTAG debuggers.
Contribute to open-source projects, including the Linux Kernel, as part of Qualcomm’s commitment to the open-source community.
Drive improvements in system software for ARMv8 and ARMv9 based platforms.
Analyze system requirements, propose corresponding system architecture, and create and maintain technical documentation for system architecture, requirements, and development processes.
Engage in pre-silicon development on FPGA-based platforms and QEMU.
Strong experience in Linux Kernel development, especially in areas such as virtualization (KVM), schedulers, memory management, and ACPI.
Expertise in virtualization technologies and performance tuning of hypervisors.
Solid knowledge of ARMv8 and ARMv9 architecture and its extensions like MPAM, Confidential Compute (CCA), and embedded systems.
Solid understanding of computer system architecture (core, cache, memory models, bus architecture, etc.).
Experience in board and SOC bring-up, device drivers, peripheral buses (SPI, I2C, USB), and memory controllers for DDR.
Familiarity with SCM tools (e.g., GIT) and debugging technologies like JTAG debuggers.
Prior contributions to open-source projects (e.g., Linux Kernel).
Strong debugging skills and practical experience with ARM-based platforms.
Proficiency in using tools and frameworks for system and software performance management.
Hands-on experience with software development methodologies for data center applications

Qualcomm designs the Snapdragon processors and modems inside many Android phones, and it licenses its wireless patents to device makers around the world. It helped commercialize CDMA, the cellular technology behind 3G networks, and its patents cover core parts of the 4G and 5G standards that phones use to connect. The company does not run its own chip factories; contract foundries make its chips, which it sells to makers of phones, PCs, cars, and connected devices. Device makers also pay Qualcomm royalties for using its patented technology, which forms a second business alongside chip sales. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 and is based in San Diego, California.
