Join Qualcomm Technologies' Engineering Group as a DevOps Engineer on their Cellular Technologies Software team, contributing to the development and deployment environment for next-generation wireless systems. You will work closely with expert developers to create high-performance software components running on Linux platforms, interfacing with hardware subsystems via PCIe and Ethernet. Your daily tasks include developing and maintaining Linux kernel imaging workflows using RPM/YUM, building containerized environments with Docker and Kubernetes, and automating provisioning processes with Ansible scripts. Additionally, you will support version control systems like git and CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, optimize system performance in multi-core environments, and collaborate to enhance reliability and deployment velocity for prototype systems. Ideal candidates have 1-3 years of DevOps experience and a strong background in networking concepts and Linux system internals.
