Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

Leverages advanced Software knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, modify, and validate critical embedded and cloud edge software, applications, and/or specialized utility programs.

• As an individual contributor should be able to debug issues using T32 or via crash logs and work with respective technology teams in fixing these issues.
• Should be able to ramp up fast and must have the attitude to work with the team.
• Work on challenging customer requirements and issues.
• Must possess HW and systems knowledge while debugging board or driver level issues.
• As a lead, analyze user needs, software requirements, time and cost constraints to design and customize sophisticated software for optimal operational efficiency.
• Should be able to ramp up quickly on Qualcomm automotive chipsets and platforms along with the feature set offered.
• Designs and implements software sub-systems for complex, large-scale products and systems.
• Leads design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules.
• Perform threat modeling on system security, derive security recommendations and incorporate them into security designs.
• Performs highly complex code reviews and regression tests as well as triages and fixes issues to ensure the quality of code. 
• Collaborates 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.
• Writes detailed technical documentation for highly complex Software projects; reviews technical documentation for junior engineers.

Level of Responsibility:

• Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey highly complex and/or detailed information. May require strong negotiation and influence with large groups or high-level constituents.
• Has a great degree of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is making or directly making key decisions that will have substantial impact over the organization).
• Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
