Job Overview
Sensors-based technology enables a wide range of applications including navigation, gaming, advanced user interfaces, multimedia, and AR/VR experiences. This role offers hands-on exposure to advanced sensor technologies used in smartphones, IoT devices, wearables, smart glasses, and other consumer electronics.
We are seeking a hands-on Android XR System / SW / Data Engineer to acquire comprehensive AR glass data sets for training and validating sensors-based feature and context-aware features for AR glass form factors.
Initial focus areas are:
* Enable multi-device data collection across AR glasses and mobile and wearable devices.
* Hands-on data collection, validation, and labeling of AR-glass-based data sets covering a person’s daily life, public and private transport, and dedicated targeted data collection campaigns. Management of crowdsourced data collection campaigns using AR, mobile and wearable form factors.
* Work with both commercial and prototype hardware and evolving Android XR platforms.
The position spans the full product lifecycle—from research and development through validation and commercial deployment—and involves close collaboration with systems, software, and integration/test engineers within the QCT Sensors Technology group.
Job responsibilities include:
* Further develop, validate, maintain, and monitor the Qualcomm Sensors Team data collection platform. The initial emphasis would be with AR glasses and sensors related use cases for them.
* Support and manage global data collection campaigns involving Qualcomm staff, including hands‑on participation in field data collection using mobile, wearable devices and AR glasses.
* Analyze, summarize, label, and generate metrics for datasets containing physical and virtual sensor streams, location data, and radio scans (Wi‑Fi, WWAN, BLE) across smartphones, laptops, wearables, AR/XR glasses, and IoT devices.
* Create, validate, maintain, and document training, validation, and test datasets to support algorithm and feature development.
* Collaborate with global, cross‑functional teams to support development and commercialization of sensor algorithms and features.
The position is technology-focused and involves participation in a broad range of sensors systems engineering activities within the Sensors Technologies group.
The role contains occasional travel, physical/sports activities, and handling of objects with significant weight.
