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.
