General Summary:

Job Overview:

We are looking for software engineers who can define software architectures while viewing software as part of a larger system comprising both software and hardware. Previous architecture experience is not necessary as long as you have good software engineering skills and are willing to approach problems at the system level.

In this role you will have two related areas of responsibilities:
1) Participating in the definition of next generation architectures for future Qualcomm SoCs, and
2) Driving the software design to realize the architecture on each SoC. This role is focused on power, thermal and limits management but you must also consider other important metrics such as performance and cost.

Qualcomm SoCs serve many product categories including smartphones, tablets, wearables, IoT, servers, AR/VR and automotive (telemetry, IVI and ADAS). One challenge in this role is to drive commonality in the architecture across these diverse product categories.

Job function / Responsibilities

• Work with engineers across a range of disciplines (e.g. hardware, software and systems) and technologies (e.g. advanced CPUs, Hexagon DSPs, Adreno GPUs, AR/VR, ML/AI, 5G modems, Wireless LAN, and GPS)
• Participate in defining and communicating next generation architectures for Qualcomm SoCs with a focus on power, thermal and limits management
• Drive the process of converting the power, thermal and limits management architecture into a software design and software requirements for each SoC
• Work with software teams to provide guidance on the architecture and design, and to help resolve issues
• Design tools to identify and debug power consumption issues on development platforms and commercial devices

Preferred skills/experience

8+ yrs of experience in software development for SoCs and platforms in wireless, automotive and/or IOT
