As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm 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. As a Qualcomm Software Test Engineer, you will design, develop, create, and modify test cases and validate embedded software, cloud software, system algorithms, application software, automation, and/or specialized utility programs that launch cutting-edge, world class products. Qualcomm Software Test Engineers collaborate across various engineering teams and functions to design and implement test plans.
Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Test Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Test Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. • 1+ year of work or academic experience with Software Test or System Test, developing and automating test plans and/or tools (e.g., Source Code Control Systems, Continuous Integration Tools, and Bug Tracking Tools).
Preferred Qualifications: • Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. • 3+ years of Software Test Engineering or related work experience. • 2+ years of experience with technologies similar to Qualcomm. • 2+ years of experience with Advanced Development Skills (e.g., Database Management Software, API's, Web Development Tools) and Test Frameworks. • 1+ years of work or academic experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
Principal Duties and Responsibilities: • Applies software and systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify test cases and validate embedded software, cloud software, system algorithms, application software, automation and/or specialized utility programs. • Designs and implements test plans, scenarios, scripts, or procedures to identify a failure within a determined area of code. • Writes tests for complex or new features to ensure functionality. • Identifies, analyzes, and documents software defects and reports defects to software developers. • Collaborates with others inside and outside the testing function (e.g., software engineers) to facilitate the debugging and fixing of issues found and to improve the overall quality of the product. • Develops test case automations and/or scripts to improve productivity.
Level of Responsibility: • Works independently with minimal supervision. • Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group. • Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic negotiation, influence, tact, etc. • Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions). • Tasks require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
