Originally posted 12 May 2026 by the employer.

Develop bare-metal software and validation firmware for Qualcomm reference platforms.

About the role

This role involves developing bare-metal software, validation firmware, and low-level device drivers to bring up, test, and validate Qualcomm reference platforms. The IPS Software team focuses on low-level device drivers, firmware, and hardware/software interfaces supporting baseband and embedded systems.

What you'll do

- Develop and maintain bare-metal firmware and low-level device drivers to enable bring-up and validation of Qualcomm reference platforms. - Perform early hardware bring-up and debug of new boards and chipsets across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries. - Implement and extend test firmware used for platform validation, manufacturing test, and factory enablement. - Collaborate with hardware design, silicon, systems, and validation teams to resolve hardware/software integration issues. - Analyze failures using schematics, register traces, logic analyzer data, and lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and digital multimeters. - Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on embedded software, debugging techniques, and platform bring-up.

What you'll need

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field with 4+ years of software engineering experience (or Master's with 3+ years, or PhD with 2+ years). - 2+ years of work experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, or Python. - Strong expertise in device driver and bare-metal software development, including register-level programming, GPIO configuration, and hardware bring-up. - Proficiency with debug and bring-up tools including Lauterbach Trace32 and JTAG-based debuggers. - Hands-on experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and bench power supplies. - Working knowledge of hardware interfaces and protocols including SPI, USB, I2C/I3C, PCIe, UART, UFS, MIPI CSI/DSI, and CAN.

Nice to have

- 8 years of experience in embedded systems development, device drivers, or firmware development. - 8 years of hands-on experience with engineering lab tools such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, and JTAG debuggers. - 8 years of programming experience using languages such as C, C++, Python, Assembly, or similar.
