Product Software Engineer

Qualcomm•San Diego, CA

About The Position

This position is not eligible for Qualcomm immigration sponsorship. As a Qualcomm Product Software Engineer , this role requires working on Product Software development and testing tasks for various programs (e.g. Smartphones ( Linux, Android OS etc.), Computing devices (e.g. Laptops, Servers) , Automotive Infotainment & ADAS systems ,and other consumer & Industrial IoT products). You will work and collaborate with various other Qualcomm Engineering teams e.g. Software, Systems , Hardware, Architecture and Test teams for delivering end to end product software solution for such programs. Software Integration Tasks : Integrate software components and configurations to meet product specifications. Maintain and enhance automation for continuous integration systems. Resolve build failures, resolve any software interface dependencies. Create and maintain build scripts to optimize the build generation process. Manage software configuration using version control system ( e.g. Perforce or GIT or Github etc.) Announce and release new software baselines. Product Software Sanity Testing: Sanity test the incremental builds to catch any regression issues due to new integration tasks. This testing happens on-target devices, simulators and reference platforms. Debug any sanity test failures. This requires understanding of common on-target debugging tools such as JTAG, ADB , simulators, log analysis etc. Create scripts to automate the test scenarios and process logs. Create test plans to cover test coverage for new features being enabled through software integration cycles. Collaborate for design and code-reviews with other technical & business team members.
