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++.
