Software Engineer - Modem
About The Position
As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Modem Technology Software Engineer, you will design, implement, verify, validate, and commercialize Wireless WAN (or cellular) modem air interface Radio technologies software to define and guide the modem IP architecture, RFFE design, HW APIs, core systems algorithms, and the right HW/SW/co-processor architecture. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop a cost effective, high quality, and high capability modem IP that meets industry and customer requirements.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 1+ year of experience with programming (e.g., C, C++, Python), computer architecture, or embedded systems.
- 1+ year of applicable wireless, semiconductor and/or embedded software industry experience.
- 6+ months of WWAN modem development specific experience.
Responsibilities
- Applies Modem knowledge to assist in the design, implementation, verification, validation, and commercialization of Wireless WAN (or cellular) modem air interface RAN technologies software.
- Assists in the transceiver, HW control, and wireless Radio Access Stratum software implementation of a multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) from industry specifications (most notably 3GPP with LTE and 5GNR).
- Applies knowledge of RF and/or WWAN L1/L2/L3 specifications to assist in the implementation of the shared resources of a multi-mode modem.
- Assists in the development of models and simulations to design a well-defined component.
- Collaborates with team members to develop a modem IP that meets industry and customer requirements with high performance (e.g., throughput, latency, power consumption) and acceptable cost (e.g., silicon area, calibration complexity, code size).
- Develops test cases to test/verify design for a well-defined component to validate modem against specifications.
- Writes technical documentation and feature descriptions for Modem Tech SW projects.
