Description
Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering General Summary: Overview Qualcomm's software CPU (aka application processor) architecture group develops long-term software roadmaps (for a horizon of three to five years). It is responsible for defining architecture specifications, developing prototypes, and engaging with the software and hardware worldwide partners to influence products development. It is also acting as an operational execution team enabling commercialization of the most up-to-date worldwide CPUs integrated in Snapdragon"™s chipsets for markets such as:Handsets, IOT devices, Automotive, Compute/Laptops, XR, etc. The team is currently looking for an experienced CPU software architect who can contribute to architecting of HW/ SW interface and design and development of low-level firmware for CPU bootstrapping, power controller etc. He or she, will specifically be engaged in the following domains: a) Micro-code optimization b) Design and development of firmware of idle and active CPU power management c) CPU software/hardware design trade-offs d) Debugging of critical SW issues that are artifacts of any high-performance CPU microarchitecture (prefetching, speculation, memory ordering etc...) e) Definition of short and long-term SW architecture roadmap in accordance with Arm"™s architecture ISA evolution f) Represent the CPU SW teams in engagements with Arm architects and third-party software partners (e.g., Google, MSFT, etc.) Since the contributions of the CPU software organization affect a large span of products, the function provides an uncommon exposure to multiple technology domains related to system-on-chip development. To fully benefit from the role"™s opportunities, the candidate must demonstrate a motivation to influence the products roadmap, as he or she, will directly contribute to Qualcomm"™s most innovative products. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor"™s degree in engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 10+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master"™s degree in engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 9+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 9+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 8+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, ARM/ RISC-V ASM, Python, etc. Skills/experience: a) Around 10+ years and above of experience in designing and developing software/ firmware for various embedded systems b) Solid Knowledge of Arm CPU architecture .. especially ARMv8 architecture (RISC-V architecture expertise is a plus) c) Solid Knowledge of various system specifications in ARM ecosystem (SCMI, PSCI, TF-A etc) d) Solid knowledge of embedded systems SW design e) Familiarity with the internals at kernel level of either Linux or Windows. Experience in device driver development is an added advantage f) Effective problem-solving analytical skills (e.g., data mining, KPI interpretation, R&D, etc.) g) Critical thinking skills h) Excellent verbal and written communications skills Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 2+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
