Job Details
Company:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area:
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering
General Summary:
As a Senior Engineer in the Product Debug team, you will contribute to ensuring software stability on Qualcomm SoCs. This role spans the product lifecycle-from pre-silicon validation to commercialization-requiring strong Linux fundamentals, embedded systems knowledge, and a passion for debugging complex issues.
Key Responsibilities:
Debug & Stability Analysis:
Assist in investigating and resolving system/software stability issues across multi-processor, Linux/multi-RTOS environments.
Support analysis of timing issues in RTOS and Linux applications and contribute to performance optimization.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, test, customer engineering) for issue triage.
Advanced Debug Techniques:
Learn and apply tools such as JTAG, ETM, Trace32, GDB, and oscilloscopes for low-level debugging.
Perform code inspection, instrumentation, and log analysis under guidance to identify root causes.
Cross-Team Collaboration:
Participate in chip bring-up, stability scrums, and feature design discussions.
Contribute to improvements in debug processes through automation scripts and documentation.
Knowledge Development:
Build understanding of Qualcomm SoC architecture, CPUSS architecture, DSP subsystems, and interconnects.
Gain expertise in Qualcomm DSP debugging and profiling techniques.
Develop knowledge of Qualcomm Neural Network (QNN) model execution on DSPs, including performance optimization and troubleshooting.
Stay current on Linux kernel internals, device drivers, and embedded system trends.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
