Job description

**Company** Qualcomm India Private Limited **Job Area** Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering **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 6+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. - 3+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. Software Virtual Platform / Simulation; Engineer, Sr Staff As a Software Virtual Platform Engineer, you will specialize in virtual platforms, including SystemC TLM and QEMU. Your primary focus will be on developing high-level system virtual models of complex SoC hardware. **Key Responsibilities Include** - Designing and developing SystemC TLM models to accurately represent SoC architectures. - Integrating components such as processors, interconnects, peripherals, and custom IP blocks into the SystemC simulator. - Collaborating closely with hardware designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand system requirements and translate them into detailed SystemC models. - Extensive experience with C++ programming to ensure efficient and effective model development. **Preferred Qualifications** - 12+ years of Software/Firmware Engineering or related work experience. - 5+ years of experience developing Virtual Platforms or Simulators - Open-Source Development experience - Experience in Unit Testing - Continuous Integration - ARM Fast Models - Server Architecture (RAS, Manageability) **Top Preferred Skills** - SystemC TLM or QEMU - Modern C++ - ARM Architecture (CPU, GIC, CoreSight Debug) 4. Firmware and/or Device Driver Development and Debug - Git Revision Control Technologies: Virtual Platform, SoC Architecture, CPU Firmware, Software Engineer **Principal Duties And Responsibilities** - Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models. - Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models. - Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems. - Lead design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules. - Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure the quality of code. - Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project. **Level Of Responsibility** - Works independently with minimal supervision. - Provides supervision/guidance to other team members. - Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success. - Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc. - Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions). - Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
