Benefits

Qualifications

• As a leading technology innovator, Qua*** pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all.
• At this level, you are expected to bring deep, hands-on technical expertise across the full firmware development lifecycle — from architecture through lab bring-up and customer release.
• analysis through code review.
• Candidates should be comfortable using these
• through implementation
• LLM-based crash triage and regression RCA — FACT-RCA knowledge base, AI-generated hypotheses cross-checked against memory dumps and log data
• Drive technical documentation standards and code review culture across the team
• Minimum
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
• Preferred
• Master's Degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science or related field.
• 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.

Responsibilities

• You will serve as a technical anchor on the team: setting design direction, driving silicon validation, and elevating the quality of firmware across next-generation WLAN chipsets.
• Lead software architecture enhancements using established SW design patterns; re-architect existing firmware modules and design new ones from the ground up
• Write, review, and own production-quality low-level firmware in a resource-constrained embedded environment (small memory footprint DSP/ARM processors)
• Develop WLAN offload firmware running on dedicated co-processor cores, independent of the host processor
• Diagnose and resolve complex WLAN and RF system performance issues; analyze power, spectrum, and waveform quality using RF test equipment and IQ capture data
• Design, implement, unit test, and document features for next-generation WLAN platforms (802.11be and beyond)
• Partner with chip designers, hardware board engineers, and RF specialists during silicon bring-up and lab validation
• Optimize firmware for maximum throughput and minimal latency; profile and eliminate bottlenecks
• Support customer launch and release cycles; resolve production field issues — occasional travel to customer sites may be required
• Leverage MCP (Model Context Protocol) server toolchains for code navigation, HW register lookup, crash dump analysis, and root cause attribution — including
