Qualcomm Technologies International Ltd

Job Area:

General Summary:
As a Software Virtual Platform Engineer, you will specialize in virtual platforms, including SystemC TLM and QEMU. Your primary focus will be on developing high-level system virtual models of complex SoC hardware.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and developing SystemC TLM models to accurately represent SoC architectures.
  • Integrating components such as processors, interconnects, peripherals, and custom IP blocks into the SystemC simulator.
  • Collaborating closely with hardware designers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand system requirements and translate them into detailed SystemC models.
  • Extensive experience with C++ programming to ensure efficient and effective model development.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models.
  • Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models.
  • Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems.
  • Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure the quality of code.
  • Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.

Level of Responsibility:

  • Work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Utilize strong verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information, often requiring negotiation, influence, and tact.
  • Perform tasks that often require multiple steps, extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization to complete effectively.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
