As a Systems Test Engineer based in Hyderabad, you will be part of the Systems Test Engineering group, responsible for validating and verifying the functionality of complex hardware‑software platforms. The role involves designing test plans, executing functional and regression tests, analyzing logs, and documenting defects. You will work closely with software developers, hardware designers, and senior test leads to ensure that Qualcomm’s products meet the highest quality standards before they reach customers. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Design, develop, and maintain test plans, test cases, and automated scripts for system‑level validation. 2. Execute functional, integration, and regression tests on hardware prototypes and reference designs. 3. Collect and analyze logs, requirements, and other artifacts to identify root‑cause of failures. 4. Document defects in the bug‑tracking system and collaborate with developers for timely resolution. 5. Perform basic field or lab testing under the guidance of technical leads. 6. Verify that proposed fixes address the identified issues without side effects. 7. Communicate test results, defect status, and risk assessments to cross‑functional teams. 8. Participate in daily stand‑ups and technical discussions to align on priorities and blockers. 9. Contribute to continuous improvement of test methodologies and tooling. 10. Write functional test scripts to ensure new features work as intended. **Tech Stack**: Linux command line, Python scripting, Bash, Git, JIRA/Confluence for defect tracking, basic knowledge of C/C++ for firmware interaction, and familiarity with wireless standards (LTE, 5G NR). **Growth Path**: Starting as a junior test engineer, you can progress to Senior Test Engineer, Test Lead, and eventually into System Architecture or Product Management roles, leveraging Qualcomm’s extensive training programs and mentorship opportunities. **Why Join Qualcomm?** The company offers exposure to world‑class wireless technologies, a collaborative environment that encourages learning, competitive compensation, and a clear career progression roadmap. Fresh graduates get the chance to work on products that shape the future of connectivity, while benefiting from a supportive culture that values innovation and work‑life balance.
