5G Embedded Software Engineer (C++/Linux/Qualcomm)

About the RoleWe are seeking a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer to implement advanced algorithms on vehicle cellular communication modules. In this role, you will work extensively with C++ (preferred), Linux (Yocto), and Qualcomm controllers. You will be responsible for reading large volumes of source code, writing moderate amounts of production code, and conducting in-vehicle algorithm tests. While the algorithms will be designed by GM, you will be expected to develop them robustly using C++ on Linux.Key ResponsibilitiesImplement uplink and downlink outage detection algorithms on vehicle cellular modules.Design & develop advanced 5G link diagnostics mechanisms using inputs across multiple layers of the 5G communication stack.Accurately detect 5G link issues and classify root causes across the end-to-end communication chain.Identify, expose, and utilize low-level cellular metrics by modifying cellular module source code.Produce clear diagnostic reports explaining issue causes and potential resolutions.Perform extensive in-vehicle algorithm testing and validation.Required Technical SkillsProgramming & OS:Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C++ preferred) and Python.Deep experience with Linux-based embedded environments (specifically Yocto).Cellular & Networking:Deep understanding of:5G cellular architectureTCP/IP networkingCross-layer network diagnosticsHands-on experience with Cellular communication modules (e.g., Qualcomm platforms, specifically 525M or similar controllers).Cellular know-how is required - even without direct hands-on experience, you must understand the theory and stack.Debugging & Development:Ability to analyze and modify low-level source code (significant source code reading; moderate writing).Strong debugging, testing, and validation skills.Knowledge of Wi-Fi systems and device connectivity behavior is a plus.Preferred Background5+ years of relevant hands-on experience (MS or BS degree).Experience with in-vehicle or automotive communication systems.Comfortable working with pre-existing algorithm designs (provided by GM) and implementing them in production-grade C++.
