General Summary
We know our employees’ ideas change the world. For more than three decades, we’ve been a global leader in mobile technology, continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Working with customers across industries — from automotive to health care, from smart cities to robotics— we continue to accelerate innovation and unlock new possibilities in a time where everything is connected.
By joining the Qualcomm family, you too can bring the future forward faster. Qualcomm is looking for an energetic, creative and self-driven engineer to work in Modem , Multimedia , Connectivity , Computer Vision and Image Processing , software implementation and hardware acceleration. The work will directly influence the various subsystems within the SoC.
The ideal candidate would have very strong problem solving and analytical skills combined with creativity and a passion for innovation. They would be able to carry forward that new idea, concept, and/or application that will propel systems to new levels of effectiveness and efficiency. At Qualcomm you will perform detailed technical analysis, translate ideas into models, SW and/or HW and work closely with other teams to help deliver real products.
At Qualcomm, the sky's the limit. College Graduates play important roles everywhere in the company. Many of our 27,000+ employees join us right out of school because we're working on the cutting edge in wireless. Complex wireless devices are only as powerful as the software that runs them. As a software engineer, you will develop, implement and maintain multimedia, gaming and application software for the world's leading-edge mobile devices.

HireSetu's note
One fork decides everything
Every team listed wants Verilog or VHDL, C/C++ and one scripting language, plus a bachelor's in computer science or electronics. Past that it splits. RTL design or strong object-oriented programming points one way; PLL, LNA, OpAmp, CMOS, ADC/DAC, Cadence and SpectreRF point the other.
Ten teams sit under this single requisition: CPU design, DFT, SoC physical design, SoC verification, low power, board and FPGA, RF layout, CAD. The group that pulls your resume decides which one you land in, so let the top of your resume say plainly which half of that list you belong to.
Analog wants bench work, digital wants basics
For RF/Analog/Mixed Signal IC Design and RF/Analog Layout, transistor-level projects carry the application: an opamp simulated in Cadence, an LNA, a PLL loop, a layout you took through DRC. A Verilog testbench won't translate.
The digital teams run on standard fresher ground: CMOS fundamentals, setup and hold, blocking versus non-blocking assignments, some static timing, and scripts that automate a testbench. Solid C++ or Python with real OOP is its own qualification for the CAD and verification groups, and wireless protocols or graphics and video work sit in the plus column.
Ignore the software paragraph
The early summary reads like a software job: multimedia, gaming and application software, models, algorithms, hardware acceleration. Qualcomm reuses that block across campus postings. The bullet list underneath is the set of teams actually hiring here, and all of them are hardware.
Judge your fit on the bullets: physical design, validation, layout, DFT, CPU. A resume built around app development will read as a mismatch against that list.
Sort out the team before you sign
This is onsite in Bangalore, full time, starting 2026. The opening line names modem, multimedia, connectivity, computer vision and image processing as one block, which is really several organizations sharing a sentence.
Ask which team and which Bangalore campus your offer is for, and ask whether it sits on the digital or analog side. That answer decides what you revise in the weeks before joining and who you report to in month one.
