Graduate Software Engineer – Virtual Platforms

A Software Virtual Platform Engineer role at Qualcomm focused on developing SystemC/QEMU-based models and software systems to simulate complex SoC hardware architectures.

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.
