About The Role

As a Wireless Software Engineer focused on Bluetooth, you will help build the core libraries and systems that power a new wireless ecosystem at HP IQ. You will work across hardware, firmware, connectivity, and product teams to create reliable, cross platform Bluetooth experiences and advance a project with real technical depth and broad industry reach.

You will join a team that encourages exploration, fast iteration, and proactive ownership. This is a chance to take bold ideas from concept to production, influence a wireless platform outside today’s dominant ecosystems, and help shape work that will meaningfully impact how people connect and interact that will transform the future of work. 

What You Might Do

• Design and implement reusable C++ software components and libraries used across device and system software.
• Develop features and improvements across the Bluetooth and device software stack, from application-facing APIs down to system services.
• Debug and resolve system-level software issues, including performance, reliability, and integration problems.
• Collaborate with OS, platform, and wireless hardware teams to integrate software components and deliver end-to-end features.
• Work with quality and program teams to triage defects, analyze root causes, and implement robust fixes.
• Contribute to software designs that prioritize maintainability, backward compatibility, and long-term scalability.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience developing device, embedded, or systems software.
• 3+ years of experience with modern C++ (C++17 or newer preferred).
• Experience designing and implementing clean APIs, libraries, or system components.
• Familiarity with inter-process communication (IPC), multi-threaded systems, and performance-aware software design.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills for complex software or system-level issues.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across software, firmware, hardware, and product teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing software that interacts with Bluetooth or other system services.
• Exposure to cross-platform development (iOS, Android, Windows, or Linux-based systems).
• Understanding of performance considerations such as latency, throughput, memory, and power usage.
• Experience using debugging and diagnostic tools (logs, protocol analyzers, system traces, etc.).
• Interest in learning wireless, embedded, or low-level system concepts as part of broader software development.
• Familiarity with wireless concepts (BLE, Wi-Fi, BT Classic) is a plus.
