Consultant - Embedded Systems & Connectivity (SoC Readiness Program)

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT and Business Solutions. With over 27,000+ associates, it’s the largest software development center of Bosch, outside Germany, indicating that it is the Technology Powerhouse of Bosch in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Role Overview 

Bosch is expanding its internal SoC Readiness and Capability-Building Program to strengthen associate expertise in Semiconductor, Embedded, and Connectivity domains. 

We are looking for a Senior Consultant with deep experience in SoC-level development, testing, and system bring-up—preferably with exposure to Qualcomm or similar semiconductor ecosystems. The consultant will mentor and guide engineers through structured learning, hands-on projects, and technical assessments aligned with industry-level SoC development and validation standards. 

The role involves both technical mentoring and capability-building, focusing on helping associates gain practical exposure to SoC architecture, firmware integration, debugging, and connectivity stack validation. 

Key Responsibilities 

Mentorship & Technical Coaching 

• Conduct structured mentoring sessions on SoC Architecture, Embedded Systems, Firmware, and Connectivity (Bluetooth, WLAN, Modem, GNSS, etc.). 

• Guide associates on system-level problem solving, debugging methodologies, and hardware-software integration. 

• Provide direction on interface bring-up (I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, SDIO) and SoC validation workflows. 

• Mentor engineers on working with Qualcomm or similar SoC toolchains, including build systems, logging tools, and diagnostic utilities. 

Interview Readiness & Evaluation 

• Conduct mock technical interviews simulating semiconductor industry expectations and provide actionable feedback. 

• Coach associates on articulating technical concepts, debugging approaches, and communication clarity during interviews. 

• Evaluate associates’ readiness through structured assessments and identify areas for improvement. 

Capstone Projects & Hands-on Learning 

• Define and supervise SoC-oriented capstone projects focusing on embedded firmware, connectivity, and peripheral validation. 

• Guide associates on log analysis, debugging, and performance tuning using relevant tools (e.g., QXDM, QCAT, QFIL, QPST, QDSS) or equivalent. 

• Ensure that each project delivers measurable skill growth and technical confidence. 

Program Coordination & Reporting 

• Collaborate with internal training and engineering teams to align mentoring objectives with project and client needs. 

• Provide periodic progress dashboards, competency matrices, and readiness summaries for management and review. 

• Support the design of structured learning roadmaps mapped to semiconductor skill expectations. 

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• 15–20 years of experience in Embedded Systems, SoC Development, Wireless/Connectivity, or System Software domains. 

• Strong proficiency in C/C++/Python, Linux/RTOS, Device Drivers, and Firmware Development. 

• Hands-on expertise in Qualcomm or equivalent SoC environments, including tools such as QXDM, QCAT, QFIL, QPST, and log analysis methods. 

• Experience with system bring-up, interface debugging, and hardware-software co-validation. 

• Proficiency in high-speed digital design, EMI/EMC compliance, FPGA interfaces, power supply design, and signal integrity (preferred). 

• Proven mentoring capability and ability to design and deliver technical learning and readiness programs. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Communication, or Computer Engineering. 

• Prior consulting, mentoring, or training experience in embedded, semiconductor, or connectivity domains. 

• Familiarity with SoC development processes, test automation, and semiconductor validation frameworks. 

Expected Deliverables 

• Individual competency evaluation reports and personalized development plans. 

• Definition and evaluation of 2–3 SoC-oriented capstone projects. 

• Conduct 2–3 mock interviews per associate with feedback documentation. 

• Weekly mentoring summaries, progress dashboards, and final readiness recommendations.
