Graduate Software Engineer – Virtual Platforms

Qualcomm

Cambridge, UK

Develops high-level virtual platform models for complex SoC hardware using SystemC, QEMU, and modern C++ to support hardware and software development.General Summary:As a Software Virtual Platform Engineer, you will specialize in virtual platforms, including SystemC TLM and QEMU. Your primary focus will be on developing high-level system virtual models of complex SoC hardware.Key responsibilities include:· Designing and developing SystemC TLM models to accurately represent SoC architectures.· Integrating components such as processors, interconnects, peripherals, and custom IP blocks into the SystemC simulator.· Collaborating closely with hardware designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand system requirements and translate them into detailed SystemC models.· Extensive experience with C++ programming to ensure efficient and effective model development.Principal Duties and Responsibilities:· Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models.· Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models.· Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems.· Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure the quality of code.· Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.Level of Responsibility:· Work independently with minimal supervision.· Utilize strong verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information, often requiring negotiation, influence, and tact.· Perform tasks that often require multiple steps, extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization to complete effectively.Top Required Skills:1. SystemC TLM or QEMU2. Modern C++3. ARM Architecture (CPU, GIC, CoreSight Debug)4. Firmware and/or Device Driver Development and Debug5. Git Revision ControlPreferred Skills1.
