Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Machine Learning Engineering General Summary: Job Overview: Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G - ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in. We are investing in several supporting technologies including 4G, 5G, Edge Computing, and Deep Learning.The Qualcomm AI team is developing hardware and software for Machine Learning solutions spanning the data center, edge, infrastructure, automotive markets and beyond. We are seeking ambitious, bright and innovative engineers with experience in Machine learning frameworks, compiler technology, vectorization and optimization, and machine learning toolchains.Job activities span the whole product life cycle from early design to commercial deployment. The environment is fast-paced and requires cross-functional interaction on a daily basis so good communication, planning and execution skills are a must. We are looking to staff engineers at multiple levels in systems & software, integration and test. Details of one of the roles we are looking to staff are listed below. Responsibilities: Research, design, develop, enhance, and implement the different components of machine learning framework, compilers based on performance and code-size needs of the customer workloads and benchmarks. Analyze software requirements, determine the feasibility of design within the given constraints, consult with architecture and HW engineers, and implement software solutions best suited for Qualcomm's SOCs. Analyze and identify system level integration issues, interface with the software development, integration and test teams. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. 8+ years Systems Engineering or related work experience.
