About the Role

Qualcomm’s QT Technologies Ireland operation is looking for a Senior Software Engineer – Sensors to join its Sensors Technologies group in Cork. This is a hands-on software engineering position covering much more than conventional mobile app development.

You’ll build software that works with sensor technologies across smartphones, IoT devices, wearables and smart glasses. The work can span the full product lifecycle, from research and development through testing, validation and commercial deployment.

The role combines Android development, system-level programming, internal engineering tools and data-processing workflows. You’ll also work with engineers in different locations and contribute to sensor feature development, validation and customer-facing technical support.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design, develop and test Android applications used for sensor data collection and feature demonstrations.
• Build desktop tools for Windows and Linux that interact with Android devices.
• Create software for device control, data validation, visualization and post-processing.
• Develop Java-based components using established software design patterns and development methods.
• Work on prototype and reference platforms covering smartphones, wearables and smart-glasses devices.
• Contribute to end-to-end sensor data-processing pipelines.
• Monitor, troubleshoot and improve data workflows used in production environments.
• Support internal data-collection campaigns involving Qualcomm employees in different locations.
• Investigate problems with data-collection applications running on users’ devices.
• Help validate sensor algorithms and features using real-world data.
• Analyse customer data and support technical triage during trials and commercial deployments.
• Collaborate with global software, systems, integration and test teams.

Qualifications

You’ll need a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline. The position also calls for at least 2 years of software engineering or related experience.

Hands-on Android development experience is important, particularly with the Android SDK. Android Studio experience is preferred. You should also be comfortable with object-oriented programming in Java or Kotlin and be able to produce production-quality software.

The technical requirements also include C++ and Python for system-level applications and tools, plus practical Git and GitHub experience. The employer wants candidates who can build reliable demonstration and test applications, prototype quickly and communicate technical ideas clearly.

Strong written and spoken English, analytical thinking, attention to detail and the ability to work with multiple stakeholders are also required.

Licences & Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering, software or computer science discipline.
• At least 2 years of software engineering or related experience.
• Hands-on Android SDK development experience.
• Strong Java or Kotlin programming skills.
• Practical C++ and Python experience.
• Git and GitHub proficiency.
• Ability to develop customer-facing demonstrations and test applications.
• Strong written and verbal English.
• Good analytical, organizational and communication skills.

A master’s degree can strengthen your application. Preferred additional experience includes AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, Android Enterprise, MDM/MAM, Microsoft Intune, React Native, desktop GUI development, Linux, Windows, Android Wear/Wear OS and Android XR.

What’s on Offer

The position comes with a package that may include salary, stock and performance-related bonuses, an employee stock purchase scheme, matching pension contributions and education assistance.

The employer also lists maternity and paternity leave, life, medical, income and travel insurance, subsidized wellbeing memberships and a bicycle purchase scheme. Employee-run clubs include activities such as running, football, chess and badminton.

For candidates relocating to Ireland, relocation and immigration support may be available. The exact support provided depends on the candidate’s circumstances and should be confirmed with the employer before making relocation arrangements.

Cork also offers access to an established technology and engineering market. The vacancy notes the city’s international workforce and access to almost 50 destinations through Cork Airport.

Immigration & Relocation Support

The vacancy specifically mentions relocation and immigration support if needed. That is useful for international applicants, but it should not be treated as an automatic visa guarantee.

If you’re applying from outside Ireland, check your eligibility for the appropriate Irish employment permission and ask the employer to confirm whether the role can support your particular immigration route. Your degree, experience, nationality and employment circumstances can affect the process.

Do not make travel or relocation payments based only on a job advertisement. Confirm the employment offer, compensation, immigration arrangements and relocation package directly with the employer.

Who This Job Suits

This role is aimed at experienced software engineers who enjoy working close to devices, sensors and system-level technology. It could suit someone with a strong Android background who also wants to work with C++, Python, data pipelines and prototype hardware.

When preparing your CV, put your most relevant technical experience near the top. Highlight Android SDK projects, Java/Kotlin development, C++ or Python work, Git/GitHub, Linux or Windows tooling, sensor integration, data processing and any experience with wearables or smart devices.

If you’ve built demonstration software, internal engineering tools or applications used for testing and validation, make those projects easy to find. Concrete examples are more useful than a long list of technologies without context.
