About the Role

Qualcomm is transforming cloud and AI infrastructure through next-generation ARM-based datacenter computing platforms. As part of the Datacenter Software Organization, you will help define and deliver the software architecture for Qualcomm's ARM server platforms, working across silicon, firmware, virtualization, operating systems, and cloud software stacks. You will collaborate with world-class architects and engineers to enable standards-based, production-ready platforms supporting modern datacenter deployments.

Responsibilities

Own the software architecture for PCIe, CXL, and Interrupt Controller subsystems across ARM server platforms, including architecture definition, requirements, enablement strategy, and ecosystem alignment.
Drive architecture and software enablement across firmware and HLOS components including UEFI/EDK2, Arm Trusted Firmware (TF-A), OpenBMC, Linux Kernel, KVM/Hypervisors, and Datacenter operating systems and distributions.
Collaborate closely with SoC architects, CPU architects, hardware design teams, firmware teams, Linux kernel engineers, validation teams, and product management to deliver production-quality solutions.
Define platform software requirements necessary to achieve compliance with industry standards and specifications including ARM SBSA, SBBR, SystemReady, PCI-SIG specifications, CXL Consortium specifications, ACPI, and UEFI.
Lead architecture reviews and drive software requirements into silicon, firmware, and platform design teams to ensure software-first design decisions.
Partner with performance, RAS, and validation teams to define system-level debug, telemetry, error handling, fault isolation, and recovery strategies.
Drive upstream-first software development and collaborate with the open-source ecosystem to ensure long-term maintainability and broad OS support.
Work directly with hyperscale cloud customers, OEMs, ODMs, and ecosystem partners to understand requirements, review architectural solutions, and support platform commercialization.
Prepare and present architecture proposals, design specifications, technical roadmaps, and executive-level reviews for internal and external stakeholders.

Requirements
