  • Enhanced and scaled a globally adopted task orchestration system (CPS) used by 150+ users across Qualcomm sites (San Diego, Santa Clara, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Beijing, Korea).
  • Integrated 50+ new task types and automation flows, including IoT log processing, KPI extraction, and AI-powered insights.
  • System handles ~1000 requests daily, reducing turnaround time from days to hours.
  • Leveraged Qualcomm’s internal LLMs (LLaMA, DeepSeek, Qwen) for Coding Assistance, Reviews, Unit testing, Insight Generation, used RAG with historical data to generate KPI insights.
  • Automated slide generation, reports, plots and KPI stats for stakeholder-ready presentations.
  • Enhanced RF Validation Sequencing Software (QDART) for embedded systems using C++ (Visual Studio 2010 & 2022)
  • Integrated GenAI-based scenario generation using RAG techniques, empowering non-coding users to define test flows in natural language—reducing scenario creation time from days to minutes and enabling the creation of thousands of test cases.
  • Enhanced UAT and reduced overall processing time from hours to minutes, while providing deep insights through GenAI and RAG-based techniques, including KPI extraction, call flow validation, verdict generation, and comprehensive PDF and presentation-ready reports.
  • Mentored a Senior engineers, engineers to share project load and ensure continuity.

Senior Software Development Engineer

Nov 2020Oct 2022 · 1 yr 11 mos · Hyderabad, Telangana, India

  • Developed CUTE (Customized User Test Executor)—a lightweight executable that accepts JSON-based command sequences, enabling users to execute complex test scenarios without scripting or manual intervention. This reduced hours of manual execution to just minutes, allowing users to “run and move on” while CUTE autonomously controls and monitors the test flow.
  • Created and deployed the Unified Analysis Tool (UAT) to consolidate fragmented post-processing workflows into a single platform—eliminating the need for users to manually process logs and files individually.
  • Built CuteUI, a web-based evolution of the CUTE executable, offering a modern drag-and-drop interface with 20+ command categories and 25–30 customizable commands.
  • CuteUI syncs backend logic from GitHub, runs on Windows servers, and integrates FastAPI (backend) with HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript (frontend)—delivering a seamless, user-friendly experience with built-in post-processing and data visualization.
  • Conducted global demos and KT sessions for tools like CUTE, UAT, and CuteUI, driving adoption across teams in Hyderabad, the US, and China.

  • Architected and developed the LTPC automation framework grounded in SOLID principles, composition over inheritance, and scalable design patterns (Factory, Singleton, Subscriber, Adapter), enabling a modular, maintainable, and extensible infrastructure for high-efficiency test automation.
  • Leveraged patterns like Adapter to abstract and unify control of third-party equipment (Spirent, LABSAT, RnS, Kratos, Wildcat, Topcat, NI, Aeroflex), enabling seamless integration and automation across modem, GNSS, and conformance domains.
  • Delivered a cross-platform automation solution compatible with Android, Linux, ThreadX, and Windows, supporting embedded and mobile test environments with parallel execution and dynamic analyzers for optimized performance.
  • Developed API wrappers and integrations for key dependencies including QUTS (Device Manager), AXIOM (cloud-based), ADB, and the ODLT Android app, achieving up to 50% reduction in test execution time through orchestration and system-level efficiency.
  • Built robust post-processing pipelines (GLP, APEX, F3 Inserter) with fallback mechanisms, and collaborated with global QA and compliance teams to drive adoption, scalability, and continuous improvement.

Associate System Engineer

Jul 2016Oct 2018 · 2 yrs 3 mos · Hyderabad, Telangana, India

  • Developed thousands of lines of production-grade code for GNSS features like SUPL NI-LR nDDS, DSDA Location Services, and B1C Direct-to-Track, deployed on millions of customer devices, with a strong focus on quality, stability, and cross-platform compatibility (Android, Linux, IoT).
  • Contributed to feature development and validation including Vertical Uncertainty Check, Jammer Indication, GSA NMEA sentence expansion, and Arbitrator State Machine Management on Qualcomm’s 9x05 chipset, improving system responsiveness and reliability.
  • Supported resolution of customer-reported issues across modules like Session Manager, Engine Control, State Machine, NMEA, and Location, collaborating with internal teams and global clients including Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Docomo, and IoT partners like QUECTEL, leading to faster issue closure and improved customer satisfaction.
  • Participated in requirement analysis and implementation of advanced features such as QZSS default enablement, dynamic HEPE disablement, and position cache cleanup, including complex call flow enhancements like location concurrency handling (user-initiated and network-initiated sessions, with and without emergency calls in parallel).
  • Collaborated with development, testing, and customer engineering teams to explain feature behavior, debug issues, and ensure seamless integration, helping reduce turnaround time and improving cross-team alignment.
  • Enhanced the SMART Unit Testing playback tool to support real-time log analysis and replay, reducing field reruns by enabling accurate state tracking in a multi-task IPC-based system, with periodic state logging to support reliable state machine reconstruction and debugging.
