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 Software Engineer, you will design, develop, create, modify, and validate embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs that launch cutting‑edge, world‑class products that meet and exceed customer needs.

Qualcomm Software Engineers collaborate with systems, hardware, architecture, test engineers, and other teams to design system‑level software solutions and obtain information on performance requirements and interfaces.

As a SoC RAS and Manageability Controller FW Developer, you are responsible for working with a team on the enablement of the SoC and platform management solution for Qualcomm's upcoming products. You will collaborate internally to help define and implement embedded firmware to manage the error, debug and telemetry management features for the Qualcomm SoCs across many verticals. You will also participate in various other aspects of the management controller firmware development, including power management, boot, RAS, debug, security and runtime services.

In the SoC Management Controller FW developer role you will work closely with both the hardware and firmware development teams. You will have an opportunity to engage with third parties on enablement of new platforms, as well as provide input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs.
