Senior Engineer – NSP/NPU System Software

Qualcomm's Central Software Engineering (CSE) team is seeking candidates for its Neural Signal Processor (NSP) System software team in Bangalore. We are looking for candidates with strong system software knowledge and hands-on experience in development, integration, commercialization, and maintenance of system software for CPU, NSP processors, and Hardware engines/accelerators comprising in Qualcomm SoCs that meets specified performance, latency, power, robustness, and stability metrics.

In this role, you will utilize your solid foundation in embedded system software development, operating systems, and device drivers to deploy platform software for complex Multimedia and Deep Learning use cases running on Qualcomm SoCs. Partnering with hardware architecture, platform software, Multimedia, and developer tools teams, you will drive the architecture, design, and development of system software to use SoCs extensive heterogeneous computing capabilities to allow running of compute workloads on device without a need for connection to the cloud for Mobile, Auto, IoT, XR and/or AI inferencing Qualcomm SOCs platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, integrate, commercialize, and maintain system software for CPU, NSP processors, and Hardware engines/accelerators
• Develop software Frameworks, high-performance system drivers for compute resources, and applications in Android/Linux/QNX and RTOS environments
• Work closely with internal teams for collection of metrics at various subsystems
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement optimal power, performance, memory, and new architecture-specific system software solutions
• Integrate, test, and commercially support embedded software solutions across business groups

Required Skills:

• Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python
• 4+ years of experience writing scalable C++ multi-threaded, multi-process software applications for Android/Embedded Linux/QNX operating systems
• Deep understanding of CPU, DSP, Deep Learning Accelerators architectures and system programming
• Experience with ARM and NSP/Hardware Engines Inter-processor communications using RPCs
• Experience with at least one DL framework like TensorFlow, Caffe, PyTorch, ONNX etc.
• Experience with build systems and source control tools

This role offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge technologies in AI, embedded systems, and heterogeneous computing. You'll be part of a team driving innovation in system software for Qualcomm's advanced SoCs, contributing to various domains including Mobile, Auto, IoT, and XR platforms.
