Graphics Firmware Engineer - Cork, Ireland
Be among the first 25 applicants.
Overview
Qualcomm’s GPUs Command Processor team is responsible for designing the GPU controller which takes command streams from the Graphics Driver and configures and commands the GPU to render graphics. As a member of our team, you will work closely with architects, designers, verification, software and uCode engineers, developing the uCode that drives one of several proprietary RISC processors in the system. Your development platform will primarily exist in an RTL simulation environment, so you must be comfortable interpreting waveforms, analyzing RTL and formulating proposals for RTL‑based improvements.
In this position, you will also be responsible for providing debug support from pre‑through post‑silicon, finding root‑cause of bugs and proposing uCode workarounds. We are looking for highly motivated engineers that enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment.
