Consultant - Embedded Systems & Connectivity

Role Overview 

Bosch is expanding its internal SoC Readiness and Capability-Building Program to strengthen associate expertise in Semiconductor, Embedded, and Connectivity domains. 

We are looking for a Senior Consultant with deep experience in SoC-level development, testing, and system bring-up—preferably with exposure to Qualcomm or similar semiconductor ecosystems. The consultant will mentor and guide engineers through structured learning, hands-on projects, and technical assessments aligned with industry-level SoC development and validation standards. 

The role involves both technical mentoring and capability-building, focusing on helping associates gain practical exposure to SoC architecture, firmware integration, debugging, and connectivity stack validation. 

Key Responsibilities 

Mentorship & Technical Coaching 

• Conduct structured mentoring sessions on SoC Architecture, Embedded Systems, Firmware, and Connectivity (Bluetooth, WLAN, Modem, GNSS, etc.). 
• Guide associates on system-level problem solving, debugging methodologies, and hardware-software integration. 
• Provide direction on interface bring-up (I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, SDIO) and SoC validation workflows. 
• Mentor engineers on working with Qualcomm or similar SoC toolchains, including build systems, logging tools, and diagnostic utilities. 

Interview Readiness & Evaluation 

• Conduct mock technical interviews simulating semiconductor industry expectations and provide actionable feedback. 
• Coach associates on articulating technical concepts, debugging approaches, and communication clarity during interviews. 
• Evaluate associates' readiness through structured assessments and identify areas for improvement. 

Capstone Projects & Hands-on Learning 

• Define and supervise SoC-oriented capstone projects focusing on embedded firmware, connectivity, and peripheral validation. 
• Guide associates on log analysis, debugging, and performance tuning using relevant tools (e.g., QXDM, QCAT, QFIL, QPST, QDSS) or equivalent. 
• Ensure that each project delivers measurable skill growth and technical confidence. 

Program Coordination & Reporting 

• Collaborate with internal training and engineering teams to align mentoring objectives with project and client needs. 
• Provide periodic progress dashboards, competency matrices, and readiness summaries for management and review. 
• Support the design of structured learning roadmaps mapped to semiconductor skill expectations. 

Qualifications

Required Skills & Qualifications 

• 15–20 years of experience in Embedded Systems, SoC Development, Wireless/Connectivity, or System Software domains. 
• Strong proficiency in C/C++/Python, Linux/RTOS, Device Drivers, and Firmware Development. 
• Hands-on expertise in Qualcomm or equivalent SoC environments, including tools such as QXDM, QCAT, QFIL, QPST, and log analysis methods. 
• Experience with system bring-up, interface debugging, and hardware-software co-validation. 
• Proficiency in high-speed digital design, EMI/EMC compliance, FPGA interfaces, power supply design, and signal integrity (preferred). 
• Proven mentoring capability and ability to design and deliver technical learning and readiness programs.
