Engineer
QualcommFull Time
hn-hiring
My team is looking to hire a ~entry-level software developer to help us design and extend QEMU support [1] for the Hexagon DSP [2]. We're looking for candidates who have experience coding in C, C++ or Rust* and who aren't afraid of rolling up their sleeves and poring over disassembled code. This particular architecture is a bit more challenging than most, because it's a bit unique. It's a VLIW [3], so it's a great opportunity to learn about an interesting architecture. Millions of Hexagon DSPs are out there, most are found in DragonWing/Snapdragon/DragonFly SoCs for Laptops, Android phones, cars and more!
We collaborate a lot with Open Source communities like QEMU, LLVM [4], the Linux kernel [5], and more. I love being able to work on Open Source software at my day job.
You can contact me directly (email addr is in my HN user link). If you don't have experience with QEMU - don't worry! Most of us didn't have any experience with it until recently, too.
The rest of the team you'd work with lives mostly in Canada, EU, US.
* Rust experience may serve the role well but we don’t (yet) have any product software in Rust.
