As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Machine Learning Engineer, you will create and implement machine learning techniques, frameworks, and tools that enable the efficient discovery and utilization of state-of-the-art machine learning solutions over a broad set of technology verticals or designs.

Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance the world of mobile, edge, auto, and IOT products through machine learning hardware and software.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 5+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience with Machine Learning frameworks (e.g., Tensor Flow, Caffe, Caffe 2, Pytorch, Keras).
• 5+ years of experience with low level interactions between operating systems (e.g., Linux, Android, QNX) and Hardware.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded system development and optimization with application to a specific problem domain in ML (e.g., NLP, multi-media).
• 5+ years of experience with one or more programming language suitable for machine learning (e.g., Python, R, C, C++)
• 5+ years of experience using statistics and probability (e.g., conditional probability, Bayes rule).
• 3 + years experience working in a large matrixed organization.
• 2+ years of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director and above).
• 1+ year in a technical leadership role with or without direct reports (only applies to positions with direct reports).
• Developed 1+ novel Machine Learning architecture(s).

• Leverages advanced Machine Learning knowledge to extend training or runtime frameworks or model efficiency software tools with new features and optimizations.
• Models, architects, and develops highly advanced machine learning hardware (co-designed with machine learning software) for inference or training solutions.
• Develops critical optimized software to enable AI models deployed on hardware (e.g., machine learning kernels, compiler tools, or model efficiency tools, etc.) to allow specific hardware features; collaborates with hardware teams for joint design and development.
• Leads the development and application of machine learning techniques into products and/or AI solutions to enable customers to do the same.
• Develops, adapts, or prototypes novel machine learning solutions aligned with and motivated by proposals or roadmaps for complex products and system-level features.
• Oversees and provides technical expertise to others conducting experiments to train and evaluate machine learning solutions.

• Works independently with minimal supervision.
• Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
• Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
• Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions).
• Tasks do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
