Qualcomm software internship 2026 for 2027 batch, Hyderabad

A Qualcomm software internship is now open for the 2027 batch. The listing is called Interim Engineering Intern (SW), and it sits under Qualcomm India Private Limited. The work is software for Qualcomm's mobile chipsets. Students of Computer Science Engineering, Communication Engineering or ECE can apply.

The posting's location field reads Hyderabad. The job text itself names four cities: Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Noida. So Hyderabad is certain and the other three are possible. The listing does not say how the city is decided.

What the Qualcomm software internship covers

Qualcomm groups the work into four technology areas. The listing does not say how interns are placed into them.

• Multimedia, such as audio and video codecs and image processing.
• Wireless modem work, such as 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth and self-organizing networks.
• Platform software, such as Linux, Android, Windows and board support packages.
• IoT products: connected cameras, smart assistants, drones, and virtual and augmented reality.

The first three areas are given as examples, so other topics inside each one may also count. The common thread is code that runs on a chip. Much of it is embedded software and device drivers.

Qualcomm software internship tasks for campus grads

The listing has a section on what campus grads will work on. It mixes tasks and skills, so here are the tasks first.

1. Real-time embedded software and device drivers.
2. Mobile software for Windows Mobile, Android or Linux.
3. Wireless network standards, for example CDMA, GSM, UMTS and LTE.
4. Linux and UNIX work, including Linux drivers and kernel development.
5. Network protocols, for example TCP, UDP, IP, SIP and RTP.
6. Multimedia work on audio, video and imaging.

The listing also names the openings on offer. They include Android and Windows Mobile embedded platforms, and the multimedia software stack with its firmware and drivers. Modem and connectivity firmware is on the list. So are protocol stacks, kernel and board support package work, and app and UI development. The last two are software design for embedded devices and object oriented design.

Who can apply for the Qualcomm software internship

The education line is short. It asks for a bachelor's or a master's degree in one of these streams:

• Computer Science Engineering.
• Communication Engineering.
• ECE.

That is the full list in the listing. It names no MCA, M.Sc, BCA or B.Sc route, and it does not add "or a related field". If your degree is outside these three streams, this Qualcomm software internship does not include you on its own wording.

The title marks it for the 2027 batch. The listing gives no marks cutoff, no backlog rule and no age limit. It has no experience line either.

Skills to prepare for the Qualcomm software internship

The skills Qualcomm names are clear. It wants a good grasp of OS concepts and data structures. It wants C and C++ with object oriented design. It also asks for strong analysis and problem solving, team work, and good spoken and written communication.

A plan that maps to those lines:

• C pointers, memory layout, bit operations and structs, since driver code uses all of them.
• C++ classes, inheritance and virtual functions for the object oriented design part.
• OS basics: processes, threads, scheduling, memory and interrupts.
• Data structures: linked lists, queues, trees and hash tables, coded by hand in C.
• Linux: build a small kernel module and load it on your own machine.
• Networks: how TCP differs from UDP, and a simple socket client and server in C.

ECE and Communication students can add one more item. Learn the basic idea of LTE and WiFi, since modem work is one of the four areas. A small project helps more than notes. A Linux character driver or a C socket program on GitHub matches what this Qualcomm software internship lists.

Qualcomm software internship stipend and dates

The listing gives no stipend and no length for the Qualcomm software internship. It does not say how many interns Qualcomm will take. It does not describe the tests or interview rounds.

One detail is mixed. The title says intern, but the job data tags the role as full time. Ask the recruiter how long the internship runs and what it pays.

The posting went up on 15 September 2026. The page data also shows a valid-through date of 14 March 2027. That is exactly 180 days after posting, which looks like an automatic expiry setting, not a stated last date. Do not plan around it, because the role can close sooner.

Quick answers

Which batch is this for? The 2027 batch, as per the title.

Can MCA or B.Sc students apply? The listing names only CSE, Communication Engineering and ECE.

Where is the Qualcomm software internship based? Hyderabad for certain, with Bangalore, Chennai and Noida also named in the job text.

Is a stipend given? The listing does not mention one.

How to apply

Apply for the Qualcomm software internship on the Qualcomm careers page for this role. Qualcomm says its careers site is for individual applicants only. It does not accept resumes from staffing agencies.

If you have a disability and need help during hiring, Qualcomm asks you to write to myhr.support@qualcomm.com. The listing names no application fee, and Classic Jobs charges nothing. Treat any request for money as a scam.
