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,

Preferred Qualifications

  • BS/BEng in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent professional experience) with 8 years experience in embedded firmware development
  • Self-starter who takes initiative and brings technical leadership
  • Proficient writing and debugging C and assembly
  • Driver development experience in RTOS or OS Kernel environments 
  • Demonstrated development experience with embedded OSes such as Zephyr, eCos, uC/OS or FreeRTOS
  • Experience developing and debugging in pre-silicon environments including simulators and FPGA emulation
  • Experience defining interprocessor communication interfaces between embedded controllers and the platform
  • Familiarity with ARM v8 architecture. Development experience for a ARMV8 platform is a plus.

Physical Requirements

  • Frequently transports between offices, buildings, and campuses up to ½ mile.
  • Frequently transports and installs equipment up to 5 lbs.
  • Performs required tasks at various heights (e.g., standing or sitting).
  • Monitors and utilizes computers and test equipment for more than 6 hours a day.
  • Continuous communication which includes the comprehension of information with colleagues, customers, and vendors both in person and remotely.

 

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience.
