## 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. Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer. If you are an individual with a disability and need an accommodation during the application/hiring process,...
