Responsibilities
- Design and implement cellular modem firmware covering control flows, scheduling, RF control, state machines, SDR, 5G NR, LTE, multi-RAT operation, and emerging 6G technologies.
- Develop and optimize latency-sensitive real-time firmware under memory, performance, timing, and power constraints.
- Translate system-level and 3GPP requirements into firmware architecture, design, and implementation.
- Work with modem systems, PHY, RF, and hardware teams to define and integrate end-to-end solutions.
- Debug and perform root-cause analysis of complex firmware, hardware, RF, and system interactions.
- Lead and coordinate the technical work of a small engineering group through planning, guidance, mentoring, and execution follow-up.
- Drive features through architecture, implementation, bring-up, integration, validation, and commercialization.
- Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, design reviews, code reviews, and complex technical problem-solving.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent higher degree.
- At least 5 years of embedded systems or firmware development experience; the posting also lists alternate minimum qualifications of 4 years with a bachelor's degree, 3 years with a master's degree, or 2 years with a PhD.
- Strong C programming skills and understanding of real-time embedded systems, including interrupts, concurrency, synchronization, memory, cache behavior, and low-level control logic.
- Demonstrated ability to translate system requirements into firmware architecture, design, and implementation.
- Proven debugging and root-cause analysis skills across complex hardware/software systems.
- Demonstrated technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance of engineers while remaining hands-on.
- Preferred qualifications include cellular modem firmware, DSP/MCU or heterogeneous SoC architectures, modem-to-RF control, scheduler or control-plane design, 3GPP specifications, hardware interaction, semiconductor or silicon bring-up, and lab debugging equipment experience.
- Strong English communication, collaboration, initiative, ownership, and delivery skills.

About Qualcomm
Qualcomm is a public semiconductor company headquartered in San Diego, founded in 1985, that designs and sells wireless chipsets and platforms for mobile devices, automotive, IoT, and networking, notably the Snapdragon application processors and 5G modems. It also licenses a large portfolio of cellular patents to device makers, generating revenue alongside chip sales; its technology underpins many Android smartphones and emerging automotive and edge-compute systems, and it trades on NASDAQ as QCOM.
