Job Overview:

Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in.

GENERAL SUMMARY The role is to develop firmware for Qualcomm’s range of Wearable chips. This will be embedded application and middleware software running on the on-chip processors. It will involve coding in ‘C’ and ‘C++’ within a resource constrained multi-processor environment.

Right candidate shall be required to primarily contribute in all aspects of the sensor management. Candidate will require to familiarize with existing code deployed on earlier variants of the chip and further enhance or fix customer reported issues around the sensors. Right candidate will require a good knowledge of using RTOS provided functionality and API. Role would entail troubleshooting and resolving system issues ranging across multiple embedded application layers interfacing with other sub-systems within the chip or with hosting chipsets.

Engineer will take ownership of a component of a project and will be responsible for delivering the software on timescales agreed with group leader/programme manager. The engineer should be able to work with minimal supervision.

• Extensive on-chip application development experience with a clear understanding of chip development life cycle and exposure to SoCs, peripherals and embedded environments.

• Knowledge of realizing low-power use cases, sensors in the world of smart watches will be an asset.

• Experience with chip bring up and sound knowledge of digital hardware along with ability to read board schematics

• Exposure to working on FPGA based emulation setups, debugging tools and use of utilities like logic analyzers, oscilloscope, JTAG interfaces over Lauterbach/J-Link.

• Ability to provide work breakdown for new features with feasibility study, effort estimates and risk mitigation

• Knowledge of hardware sensors like Accelerometer, Gyro, Magnetometer, PPG, ECG etc. and softwarealgorithmic sensors like Pedometer, Display sensors, Motion Detection etc. required.

• Exposure to Qualcomm’s SEE sensor architecture would be highly desirable.

• Ability to multitask in a paced environment
• Capability to comprehend and capture accurate requirements
• Define tasks and create work breakdown including estimation of tasks
• Ability to prioritize requests and communicate priorities
• Develop and test software of major scale and complexity to agreed timescales
• Maintain firmware software components including defect investigation
• Conduct software peer reviews
• Create relevant documentation following the department’s processes
• Track hardware changes and understand impact on firmware
• Design firmware components that require to be enhanced and adapted to existing design
• Deliver high-quality firmware in line with the department’s processes
• Contribute to continuous development of the department’s processes

• Excellent C and/or C++ programming skills with proven experience of writing efficient code for low powered and memory constrained systems

• Knowledge of embedded platforms peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, I3C etc.

• Knowledge of RTOS based environments required. Exposure to working with QP (Quantum Leap framework) or FreeRTOS is highly desired.

• Strong understanding of ARM architecture especially Cortex-M series

• Excellent trouble shooting and analytical skills that may be applied to resolve potential system issues

• Strong communication skills with ability to evaluate and create design documentation detailing complex features and relationships

• 5-8 years of relevant industry work experience

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field
