Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) is a world leader in 3G / 4G / 5G modem technologies and is actively seeking new highly energetic engineers for our industry leading modem firmware team. Candidates will design, develop, and test the advanced modem technologies that are delivered in Qualcomm mobile chipset products. The position entails programming in embedded C/C++ and/or assembly on proprietary embedded DSP and micro-controller processors for a variety of industry leading wireless modem products. Candidates will participate in the design, implementation, and commercialization of modem physical layer firmware (fixed point) algorithms and control code. In addition, candidates will have the opportunity to contribute to the architectural design and evolution of current and next generation wireless modem technologies. Engineers will work in small, tightly-knit firmware teams and engage teams in various other engineering disciplines to deliver high-performance and high-quality products to the wireless marketplace. Responsibilities include ownership of the design and implementation as well as customer support of the various modules comprising the physical layer control plane of the modem. The modem firmware team works closely with Qualcomm’s world class modem systems and ASIC engineering teams to design, implement, and optimize our current modem products while also influencing the evolution of their design and inspiring the Qualcomm products of the future.
All Qualcomm employees are expected to actively support diversity on their teams, and in the Company.
