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

• Serve as a technical expert for Bluetooth features across application, framework, and driver layers.
• Design and build reusable, scalable wireless software libraries with clear API boundaries.
• Lead performance optimization, system-level debugging, and feature development within the wireless domain.
• Collaborate with system software, firmware, OS, and wireless teams to integrate and optimize Bluetooth components.
• Work with program management and quality teams to triage field issues, analyze root causes, and drive continuous improvements.
• Contribute to system designs that ensure stability, backward compatibility, and future extensibility across product generations.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of software development experience with strong focus on wireless technologies.
• Proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems, and low-level software development.
• Experience designing cross-platform Bluetooth systems (iOS, Android, Windows).
• Experience with wireless stack integration, IPC mechanisms, and performance tuning.
• Proven ability to design maintainable, extensible software libraries and APIs.
• Strong debugging skills using tools such as logic analyzers, packet sniffers, Bluetooth analyzers, and embedded logs.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to collaborate across firmware, OS, hardware, and product teams.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to debug complex wireless or system-level issues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep understanding of Bluetooth LE layers (GATT, ATT, L2CAP, SMP, connection management).
• Knowledge of power optimization and low-duty operation in embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with tools such as Ellisys or similar Bluetooth protocol analyzers.
• Desire to work outside of current domain expertise to gain greater breadth of experience
• Experience with connection parameter tuning, throughput optimization, and GATT-layer performance improvements.
• Interest in expanding beyond current domain expertise to gain broader system-level understanding.
• Familiarity with wireless coexistence challenges (BLE, Wi-Fi, BT Classic) is a plus.
