Wireless Subsystem Test and Software Tools Engineer

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Cellular Technologies Software General Summary: Wireless R&D - Qualcomm Research (QR) division drives cutting edge research in enabling the next generation (6G) of wireless. It involves development of research-grade prototypes and early-stage platforms to enable advances in RF, baseband, communication protocols and algorithms; User Experience (UX) technologies that enable transformative experiences across XR, AI-powered context-aware communications, agentic AI, and robotics; multi-modal sensing using RF, vision and maps; system architectures to both meet and drive industry standards. These prototypes/platforms are end-to-end systems that enable the characterization and demonstration of advanced technologies, improved application-performance and user experience, usage of Qualcomm's compute platforms, leverage of open-source libraries wherever applicable, and pre-commercial inter-operability trials and showcases with industry-partners. It requires advanced SW development across a multitude of domains, layers, and platforms. This requires a Software Systems Integration and Test (SSIT) Engineer to work on comprehensive end-to-end feature validation, test-framework development, continuous integration, and process automation for large-scale software subsystems with test equipment and tools used in advanced 5G and 6G wireless research. You will be working in a fast-paced, intellectually challenging work environment. Successful applicants will be creative, enthusiastic innovators who are equally comfortable with researching new technologies and implementing software tools towards cutting edge research as well as products.  Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Principal duties and responsibilities: Develop feature test plans and perform comprehensive end-to-end feature validation and testing for large-scale software subsystems used in advanced wireless research. Plan and execute feature validation for development milestones and external activities, including operator trials, demonstrations, and industry showcases. Develop and maintain test frameworks, test utilities, and test automation. Develop, maintain, and execute continuous and nightly regression test suites. Plan and establish software, hardware and network as part of end-to-end system integration and test environment. Collaborate with software development and system test teams to plan software releases and support efficient end-to-end software feature integration. Debug complex embedded software and troubleshoot end-to-end software and hardware integration issues. Apply and develop networking diagnostics, data visualization, and system performance analysis tools to troubleshoot test and integration issues. Work with advanced compute, devices, hardware, and software platforms used to develop and validate next-generation wireless systems Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field Proficiency in C/C++, Python programming Understanding of multi-threading, OS fundamentals Analytical and problem-solving skills Ability to communicate technical ideas and work status (estimates, risks, dependencies) clearly, both verbally and in writing Ability to work effectively across teams in a fast-paced, collaborative and diverse software engineering environment Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering OR 2 years of work experience in an Embedded Software Engineering field Familiarity with Linux based development, release and deploy environments Experience debugging embedded software and performing end-to-end software integration in networked environments Experience developing and maintaining test frameworks and utilities, automating end-to-end regression tests, and integrating test
