Responsibilities: - Qualcomm is a pioneer in silicon and software technologies for consumer electronics and a global leader in wireless innovation.
- We are looking for Audio DSP / Embedded Software Engineers based in Bangalore to work on next-generation voice and music solutions.
- The role involves designing, developing, porting, integrating, and optimizing audio codecs on ARM and HiFi DSP platforms.
- You will work as part of the DSP team on codec libraries, DSP frameworks, and system-level audio pipelines, integrating audio algorithms into production platforms and enabling end-to-end audio use cases.
- The position requires strong hands-on experience with embedded C/C++ development fixed point arithmetic, and performance critical code optimization focusing on MCPS, code size, heap/memory usage, latency, and power consumption.
- You will profile and debug issues on real hardware platforms and collaborate closely with platform, interface, and customer teams to deliver robust, customer-ready audio solutions.
- include developing high-quality embedded DSP software for voice and music products.
- troubleshooting and resolving complex issues.
- supporting customer requirements.
- contributing to project planning and execution.
- creating and.
- maintaining engineering documentation; and contributing to Qualcomm’s intellectual property, including support for patent submissions.
- 2+ years of relevant industry experience in embedded/DSP audio development xperience in audio codec development and integration (e.g., AAC, LC3, SBC, CVSD)
- Hands-on experience working on ARM and HiFi DSP (or equivalent DSP platforms)
- Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems, including HiFi and /or ARM architectures Strong foundation in audio signal processing and codec fundamentals
- (MDCT, quantization, psychoacoustics, bitstream structures)
- Hands-on experience with fixed-point arithmetic and performance critical embedded code Experience in optimiz ing code for:
