Consultant - Embedded Systems & Connectivity (SoC Readiness Program)

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. 

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 . 

Preferred Qualifications  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Communication, or Computer Engineering . 

• Prior consulting, mentoring, or training experience in embedded, semiconductor, or connectivity  domains. 

• Familiarity with SoC development processes , test automation , and semiconductor validation frameworks . 

Expected Deliverables  

• Individual competency evaluation reports  and personalized development plans. 

• Definition and evaluation of 2–3 SoC-oriented capstone projects . 

• Conduct 2–3 mock interviews per associate  with feedback documentation. 

• Weekly mentoring summaries , progress dashboards, and final readiness recommendations.
