Get Access To All JobsAbout the Role
We are seeking a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer to implement advanced algorithms on vehicle cellular communication modules. In this role, you will work extensively with C++ (preferred), Linux (Yocto), and Qualcomm controllers. You will be responsible for reading large volumes of source code, writing moderate amounts of production code, and conducting in-vehicle algorithm tests. While the algorithms will be designed by GM, you will be expected to develop them robustly using C++ on Linux.
Key Responsibilities
- Implement uplink and downlink outage detection algorithms on vehicle cellular modules.
- Design & develop advanced 5G link diagnostics mechanisms using inputs across multiple layers of the 5G communication stack.
- Accurately detect 5G link issues and classify root causes across the end-to-end communication chain.
- Identify, expose, and utilize low-level cellular metrics by modifying cellular module source code.
- Produce clear diagnostic reports explaining issue causes and potential resolutions.
- Perform extensive in-vehicle algorithm testing and validation.
Required Technical Skills
Programming & OS:
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C++ preferred) and Python.
- Deep experience with Linux-based embedded environments (specifically Yocto).
Cellular & Networking:
- Deep understanding of:
- 5G cellular architecture
- TCP/IP networking
- Cross-layer network diagnostics
- Hands-on experience with Cellular communication modules (e.g., Qualcomm platforms, specifically 525M or similar controllers).
- Cellular know-how is required – even without direct hands-on experience, you must understand the theory and stack.
Debugging & Development:
- Ability to analyze and modify low-level source code (significant source code reading; moderate writing).
- Strong debugging, testing, and validation skills.
- Knowledge of Wi-Fi systems and device connectivity behavior is a plus.
Preferred Background
- 5+ years of relevant hands-on experience (MS or BS degree).
- Experience with in-vehicle or automotive communication systems.
- Comfortable working with pre-existing algorithm designs (provided by GM) and implementing them in production-grade C++.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Embedded Software Engineer Jobs at Global Connect Technologies Jobs
Align Your Portfolio to Client Deliverables
Global Connect Technologies places Embedded Software Engineers on client-facing consulting projects, so document firmware work, RTOS experience, or hardware abstraction layers in terms of project outcomes, not just technical skills. Hiring managers evaluate delivery potential alongside credential depth.
Confirm OPT STEM Extension Eligibility Early
Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science are STEM-designated fields that qualify for the 24-month OPT extension. Verify your degree CIP code with your DSO before applying, since consulting firms often bridge F-1 candidates through OPT until the next H-1B cap season.
Target Roles Tied to Long-Term Client Engagements
Consulting firms file H-1B petitions for roles with demonstrable long-term need. When applying, prioritize Embedded Software Engineer openings tied to multi-year programs or recurring client contracts rather than short project placements, which can complicate specialty occupation documentation at USCIS.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Active Openings
Embedded Software Engineer roles at consulting firms fill quickly and aren't always visible on general job boards. Search Migrate Mate to filter for Global Connect Technologies openings that explicitly include visa sponsorship, so you're not wasting time on positions that won't support your status.
Prepare for DOL Prevailing Wage in Your Work Location
Global Connect Technologies consultants are often deployed at client sites, which means your H-1B Labor Condition Application reflects the wage level at the actual worksite, not the company's home office. Research DOL wage data for your assigned metro area before negotiating your offer.
Request a Clear Timeline Around the H-1B Cap Window
If you're moving from OPT to H-1B, your start date is capped at October 1 following the April lottery. Ask the recruiter during the offer stage how Global Connect Technologies structures employment agreements for candidates with gap periods between OPT expiration and H-1B activation.

Does Global Connect Technologies sponsor H-1B visas for Embedded Software Engineers?
Yes, Global Connect Technologies sponsors H-1B visas for Embedded Software Engineers. The company participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery and supports the full petition process, including Labor Condition Application filing with the DOL. Sponsorship is typically tied to confirmed client placements, so having a defined project scope strengthens your petition's specialty occupation documentation.
How do I apply for Embedded Software Engineer jobs at Global Connect Technologies?
You can apply directly through Global Connect Technologies' careers page or use Migrate Mate to browse and apply for their open Embedded Software Engineer roles that include visa sponsorship. Tailor your application to highlight embedded systems experience relevant to consulting deliverables, such as firmware development, driver-level programming, or real-time operating system work, since the company evaluates candidates against client project requirements.
Which visa types does Global Connect Technologies commonly use for Embedded Software Engineer roles?
Global Connect Technologies sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN visas for Embedded Software Engineers. F-1 OPT and CPT are common entry points for recent graduates, with many candidates transitioning to H-1B sponsorship. Canadian and Mexican nationals with qualifying engineering credentials can pursue the TN visa, which does not require a lottery and can be processed relatively quickly.
What qualifications does Global Connect Technologies expect for Embedded Software Engineer candidates seeking sponsorship?
A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science is standard. Hands-on experience with C or C++ in resource-constrained environments, familiarity with RTOS platforms, and exposure to hardware debugging tools are consistently valued. For H-1B purposes, your degree must directly relate to the role, so a generalist computer science background paired with embedded systems project work is typically sufficient.
How do I estimate the timeline for visa processing if I receive an offer from Global Connect Technologies?
For H-1B candidates, USCIS standard processing runs three to five months after the April lottery, targeting an October 1 start date. Premium processing reduces adjudication to roughly two to three weeks after filing. For OPT candidates, you can begin working before any petition is filed, provided your I-20 is current. TN visa holders at a port of entry or through consular processing can typically start within days of approval.
