Embedded Platform Dev- Lead Engineer, Senior

General Summary: Qualcomm's ADAS/Autonomy team develops optimized solutions based on DSP, computer vision, and machine learning for Qualcomm ADAS/Autonomy SoCs. The role focuses on system and SoC software functional safety, following ISO26262 standards and ASPICE processes. It involves collaboration with global teams to define, implement, and validate automotive-specific software features including drivers, BSP, RTOS, AUTOSAR MCAL, security, and power management on Qualcomm's current and next-gen SoCs. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field with 3+ years of software engineering experience OR Master's degree with 2+ years experience OR PhD with 1+ year experience 2+ years academic or work experience programming in C, C++, Java, Python, etc. 6 to 9 years of embedded software development experience including low-level drivers and RTOS. Preferred Experience: 3 to 6 years in embedded software driver development. Expertise in one or more of the following areas: Strong C and Assembly programming with OS & multi-processor concepts Embedded software development on ARM or similar cores Driver development on RTOS (SafeRTOS, FreeRTOS experience preferred) AUTOSAR MCAL development and BSW integration/validation ARM TrustZone & ARMv7/v8 architecture knowledge Debugging experience with Lauterbach JTAG debuggers Automotive software development background Experience with ISO26262 functional safety and ASPICE processes (highly desirable). Basic knowledge of Power Management ICs and software/hardware security concepts (desirable). Basic understanding of hardware blocks like Clocks, PLLs, GPIO, Interrupt Controllers (GIC), SPI/I2C/UART/CAN/Ethernet, etc. Experience working closely with hardware teams and suggesting hardware design modifications. Prior Qualcomm chip experience is a plus. Key Responsibilities: Define and implement safety concepts and software safety requirements in line with ISO26262. Develop, validate, and productize automotive software features (drivers, BSP, RTOS, AUTOSAR). Coordinate feature validation plans, execute tests, root-cause abnormal behaviors, and propose fixes. Automate design-under-test and validation efforts. Work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, design, production, and IP bench teams. Ensure adherence to software quality processes including ASPICE compliance.
