GENERAL SUMMARY
As a CPU Power Management FW Developer, you are responsible for working with a team on the enablement of the power management solution for Qualcomm's Oryon CPUs. You will collaborate internally to help define and implement embedded firmware to manage the power and performance for the CPU subsystem within 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 CPU Power Management FW developer role 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 new platforms, as well as providing input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs.
Role and Responsibilities
- Drive the complete firmware development lifecycle through design, development, debug and verification, in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
- Develop core firmware stack, utilizing and RTOS, that provides the essential services and frameworks to various algorithms running on the power management controller.
- Assist in defining Power Management solutions for future generation of Qualcomm CPUs.
- Actively engage with open source communities to contribute support for processor architectures, device drivers, and firmware features
- Collaborate with team members and other teams on silicon and platform bring-up, debug and diagnostics.
- Assist in identifying skills requirements and in hiring engineers,
