Core Platform- Device driver development (BSP / Linux)- Engineer

Job Description

General Summary: Join Qualcomm's Core Platform team, where your expertise in embedded systems and device driver development will drive innovation at the foundational layer of next-generation ARM-based SoCs. As an Engineer, Sr Engineer, or Lead Engineer (depending on experience), you will be responsible for the design, development, testing, and optimization of low-level drivers and bootloaders, contributing directly to Qualcomm's leadership in wireless, compute, and connected technologies. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement device drivers and Board Support Packages (BSP) for ARM-based SoCs running Linux. Perform bring-up of new SoC platforms, including low-level hardware enablement and peripheral driver development. Develop and execute unit tests to validate driver functionality and robustness. Analyze and resolve bugs from system testing and field/customer feedback. Optimize driver code for performance, memory, and reliability in embedded environments. Work closely with hardware, firmware, and systems teams to understand requirements and support platform integration. Required Skills & Experience: 28 years of experience in device driver development and BSPs, ideally in embedded Linux environments. Strong proficiency in C programming and a solid understanding of Linux kernel internals . Proven experience in driver development for peripherals such as I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PCIe, USB, or Ethernet. Experience with bootloader development (e.g., U-Boot) and platform bring-up on ARM SoCs. Familiarity with ARM/DSP processor architecture , including JTAG and hardware debugging tools. Experience with Yocto , QSDK , RDK-B , PRPL OS , or OpenSync is a strong plus. Hands-on problem-solving and debugging skills using hardware debuggers and logic analyzers. Excellent verbal and written communication and documentation skills. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field. Master's degree is preferred for senior/lead positions. Strong academic foundation with proven ability in low-level systems software.
