Embedded Software Engineer - Qualcomm/TCP (Warren)

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer (C++/Linux/Qualcomm)
Location: Warren, MI
Job Type: Full-Time

About the Role
We 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 Responsibilities
Implement 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 Skills
Programming & 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 architecture
TCP/IP networking
Cross-layer network diagnostics
Hands-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 Background
5+ 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++.
