Power Architecture -Staff Engineer

Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering General Summary: Job Overview: We are looking for software engineers who can define software architectures while viewing software as part of a larger system comprising both software and hardware. Previous architecture experience is not necessary as long as you have good software engineering skills and are willing to approach problems at the system level.In this role you will have two related areas of responsibilities:1) Participating in the definition of next generation architectures for future Qualcomm SoCs, and2) Driving the software design to realize the architecture on each SoC. This role is focused on power, thermal and limits management but you must also consider other important metrics such as performance and cost.Qualcomm SoCs serve many product categories including smartphones, tablets, wearables, IoT, servers, AR/VR and automotive (telemetry, IVI and ADAS). One challenge in this role is to drive commonality in the architecture across these diverse product categories. Job function / Responsibilities Work with engineers across a range of disciplines (e.g. hardware, software and systems) and technologies (e.g. advanced CPUs, Hexagon DSPs, Adreno GPUs, AR/VR, ML/AI, 5G modems, Wireless LAN, and GPS) Participate in defining and communicating next generation architectures for Qualcomm SoCs with a focus on power, thermal and limits management Drive the process of converting the power, thermal and limits management architecture into a software design and software requirements for each SoC Work with software teams to provide guidance on the architecture and design, and to help resolve issues Design tools to identify and debug power consumption issues on development platforms and commercial devices Preferred skills/experience 8+ yrs of experience in software development for SoCs and platforms in wireless, automotive and/or IOT Strong analytical skills and the ability to approach problems at a system level One or more of the following: Device driver or board support package (BSP) knowledge or development experience Experience with one or more RTOSs Experience with ADAS or in vehicle infotainment systems Understanding of ARM processor architectures Experience in power, thermal and/or limits management at the system or device driver level Experience with virtualization and hypervisors 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.
