Work directly with Qualcomm-based embedded platforms
Perform power measurements using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, current probes, Monsoon, NI DAQ, and related equipment
Debug issues across hardware, PMICs, firmware, Linux, drivers, and Android
Build power models, validate battery-life estimates, and optimize performance-per-watt
Partner with hardware, firmware, system software, and validation teams to solve complex platform issues

What We're Looking For:

8+ years of embedded systems experience
Strong electrical engineering test and debug background
Experience with power characterization, battery analysis, and thermal investigations
Deep understanding of Qualcomm SoCs and PMIC architecture
Embedded Linux experience
Android power management experience

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
