Qualcomm is hiring Interim Engineering Interns for 2027 in software, with openings listed across Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Noida. The work is on software for Qualcomm's mobile chipsets, from drivers and firmware to multimedia and wireless stacks. If embedded C and C++ is your strong side, read on. We also share fresh engineering roles on our WhatsApp jobs channel.
Role overview
The posting is titled "Interim Engineering Intern 2027 SW" under the Engineering, Software job area. It says Qualcomm wants energetic and self driven engineers to work in one of four areas:
- Multimedia technologies such as audio and video codecs and image processing
- Wireless modem technologies such as 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth and self organizing networks
- Platform level software such as Linux, Android, Windows and board support packages
- IoT products such as connected cameras, smart assistants, drones, VR and AR
Eligibility and skills for Qualcomm software interns
The education line lists Masters or Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering, Communication Engineering or ECE. The skills it names include:
- Real time embedded software and device drivers
- C and C++ with object oriented design
- Operating system concepts and data structures
- Linux or UNIX, Linux drivers and kernel development
- Protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP, SIP and RTP
- Wireless standards such as CDMA, GSM, UMTS and LTE
No stipend, internship length, CGPA cut off or last date is given in the posting.
What the role involves
The posting lists work such as Android and embedded platform software, multimedia stacks, firmware and driver development, protocol stack development, kernel and BSP work, and some application and UI development. You will not do all of these. Expect to be placed in one team, so ask which area you are joining.
Who it suits
ECE and CSE students who enjoy low level systems work more than web development. If your projects are mostly React and REST APIs, this role will feel like a stretch. If you have written a device driver, an RTOS task or a small network protocol, you are exactly the profile described.
How to stand out
Pick one embedded or systems project and know it deeply: memory layout, interrupts, how you debugged a crash. Likely interview areas, based on the skills list, are C pointers, data structures, OS scheduling and memory management, and basic networking. Showing a small Linux kernel module or a driver on GitHub helps more than a long list of languages.
Check before you apply
- The location is a list of four cities. Confirm which one the recruiter assigns.
- The posting does not say if this is a campus only role, so check the portal for any batch rules.
- Pay and duration are not listed, so ask early.
