About the job

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.

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.
