Responsibilities
- Design and implement cellular modem firmware covering control flows, scheduling, RF control, and state machines.
- Translate system and 3GPP requirements into robust firmware designs and implementations for 5G NR, LTE, multi-RAT, and emerging 6G technologies.
- Develop and optimize timing-critical real-time firmware under strict latency, memory, performance, and power constraints.
- Collaborate with modem systems, PHY, RF, and hardware teams to define and integrate end-to-end solutions.
- Debug complex cross-layer firmware, hardware, RF, and system issues and perform root-cause analysis.
- Drive assigned features through implementation, bring-up, integration, validation, commercialization, code reviews, and delivery.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent qualifying education or experience path.
- At least 3 years of embedded systems or firmware development experience; the posting also lists alternate minimum paths involving a master's degree with 2+ or 1+ years of related experience, or 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.
- Ability to translate system-level requirements into firmware, independently resolve complex technical problems, and collaborate across engineering disciplines.
- Preferred qualifications include cellular modem firmware, DSP/MCU/heterogeneous SoC development, modem-to-RF control, scheduler or control-plane implementation, 3GPP specification interpretation, hardware-near development, silicon bring-up, and hardware/firmware debugging experience.
- Experience with protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, probes, or similar lab equipment and AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code or codex is preferred.
- Strong verbal and written English communication skills and demonstrated initiative, ownership, and problem-solving ability.

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.
