Job description

The Location Technology System Test Engineer, Senior at Qualcomm is responsible for testing and validating location technology systems that integrate software and hardware components. This role involves executing system-level test plans for various positioning technologies, including GNSS and sensor-based solutions. The engineer will work closely with software, systems, and algorithm teams to identify and resolve issues while leveraging AI-assisted workflows to enhance testing efficiency. The position requires a strong understanding of end-to-end location systems and the ability to analyze complex data to ensure accuracy and performance.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 5 years of relevant work experience.
  • Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field and 1 year of Systems Test Engineering experience.
  • PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field.

Responsibilities

  • Execute system-level testing for location technologies including GNSS, WWAN-based positioning, WLAN-based positioning, and sensor-based positioning.
  • Design and execute test plans validating functional behavior, continuity, and stability of sensor-assisted and fused location outputs.
  • Collect and analyze logs, traces, sensor data, and positioning outputs to identify system-level issues impacting location accuracy.
  • Perform log and trace analysis across GNSS, WWAN, WLAN, and sensor subsystems to isolate root causes of positioning failures.
  • Use agentic AI tools to assist with automated execution of location system tests and post-processing of large datasets.
  • Communicate location system issues and results clearly to software, systems, and algorithm teams.
  • Develop and maintain functional and system tests ensuring correct behavior of sensor-based and multi-technology location features.

Benefits

  • Qualcomm offers competitive compensation, annual bonuses, stock programs, comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement plans, wellness programs, parental leave, flexible work options, and professional development opportunities.
