About the role


Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Machine Learning Engineering

General Summary:

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.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 2+ 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 1+ year of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

•    Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.

•    2+ years of experience with Machine Learning frameworks (e.g., Tensor Flow, Caffe, Caffe 2, Pytorch, Keras).

•    2+ years of experience in embedded system development and optimization with application to a specific problem domain in ML (e.g., NLP, multi-media).

•    2+ years of experience with one or more programming language suitable for machine learning (e.g., Python, R, C, C++)

•    2+ years of experience using statistics and probability (e.g., conditional probability, Bayes rule).

•    2+ years experience working in a large matrixed organization.

•    1+ year of experience with low level interactions between operating systems (e.g., Linux, Android, QNX) and Hardware.

•    1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director and above).

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

•    Applies Machine Learning knowledge to extend training or runtime frameworks or model efficiency software tools with new features and optimizations.

•    Models, architects, and develops machine learning hardware (co-designed with machine learning software) for inference or training solutions.

•    Develops 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 team members for joint design and development. 

•    Assists with 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 complex machine learning algorithms, models, or frameworks aligned with and motivated by product proposals or roadmaps with minimal guidance from more experienced engineers. 

•    Conducts complex experiments to train and evaluate machine learning models and/or software independently.

Level of Responsibility:
•    Works independently with minimal supervision.
•    Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group.
•    Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic 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 require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
