General Summary:

- As a CPU Power Management FW Developer, you are responsible for working with a team on the enablement of thepower management solution for Qualcomm's custom CPUs.

- You will collaborate internally to help define and implement embedded firmware to manageoperation of the CPU subsystem within the allocated power and thermal budgets. You will also be responsible for helping characterize and tune this solution for all Qualcomm SoCs utilizing Qualcomm custom CPUs.

- In CPU Power Management FW developer role, with focus on limits management, you will be working closely both with the hardware power management and firmware development teams.

- You will have an opportunity to engage with third parties on enablement of recent platforms, as well as providing input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs.

Minimum Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR

- Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR

- PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.

- 2+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.





Role and Responsibilities

- Drive the firmware design, implementation and verification, in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.

- Assist in the definition Limits management solutions forfuture generation of Qualcomm CPUs.

- Actively engage with open source communities to contribute support for processor architectures, device drivers, and firmware features

- Assist in identifying skills requirements and in hiring engineers, collaborating with other teams on platform bring-up/debug/diags, firmware lifecycle, etc.

Preferred Qualifications

- BS/MS in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent professional experience) with 8 to 12 years experience in embedded firmware development
