Senior Modem Technologies Software Engineer

Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Modem Technologies Software

Overview

This role independently plans, designs, implements, verifies, validates, and commercializes Wireless WAN (or cellular) modem air interface RAN technologies by working on Modem access stratum and RF SW design, optimizations & algorithms, and with the RFFE team to define and guide the modem IP architecture, RFFE design, HW APIs, core systems algorithms and the right HW/SW/co-processor architecture. Works on the transceiver, and HW control and wireless Radio Access Stratum software implementation of a multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) from industry specifications (most notably 3GPP with LTE and 5GNR). Has experience in the WWAN L1/L2/L3 specifications and can efficiently implement the shared resources of a multi-RAT modem. Works closely with other functional groups to develop a cost effective, high quality and high capability modem IP that meets industry and customer requirements with high performance (e.g., throughput, latency, power consumption) and acceptable cost (e.g., silicon area, calibration complexity, code size). Acts as a strong contributor at design reviews and project meetings.

Responsibilities

• Plan, design, implement, verify, validate, and commercialize Wireless WAN modem air interface RAN technologies, including Modem access stratum and RF SW design, optimizations, and associated algorithms.
• Collaborate with the RFFE team to define modem IP architecture, HW APIs, core systems algorithms, and HW/SW/co-processor architecture.
• Develop transceiver, HW control, and wireless Radio Access Stratum software for a multi-RAT (LTE, 5G NR) per industry specifications (3GPP).
• Implement and optimize shared resources for a multi-RAT modem; work with other functional groups to achieve high performance (throughput, latency, power) at acceptable cost.
• Contribute actively in design reviews and project meetings; support telecommuting as permitted and report to Qualcomm office locations when not telecommuting.

Qualifications

• Will accept a Master’s Degree (or foreign academic equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
• Will also accept a Bachelor’s Degree (or foreign academic equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field and five (5) years of progressive experience in a related occupation.
• Employer will accept any suitable combination of education, training or experience.

Pay Range: $135,003.00 - $192,000.00/year
