Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5G's potential into world‑changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age – and this is where you come in.

As a CPU Performance Management FW Developer, you are responsible for working with a team on the enablement of the power management solution for Qualcomm's custom CPUs. You will collaborate internally to help define a standard‑driven solution, and implement embedded firmware to manage the performance of the CPU subsystem. You will also help characterize and tune this solution for all Qualcomm SoCs utilizing Qualcomm custom CPUs.

In this role, with a focus on CPU performance management, you will work closely with the hardware power management and firmware development teams. You will have an opportunity to engage with third parties on enablement of new platforms and to provide input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs.
