About this 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 6+ 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 5+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. Preferred Qualifications: • Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field. • 5+ years of experience with Machine Learning frameworks (e.g., Tensor Flow, Caffe, Caffe 2, Pytorch, Keras). • 5+ years of experience with low level interactions between operating systems (e.g., Linux, Android, QNX) and Hardware. • 5+ years of experience in embedded system development and optimization with application to a specific problem domain in ML (e.g., NLP, multi-media). • 5+ years of experience with one or more programming language suitable for machine learning (e.g., Python, R, C, C++) • 5+ years of experience using statistics and probability (e.g., conditional probability, Bayes rule). • 3 + years experience working in a large matrixed organization. • 2+ years of work experience in a role requiring interaction with senior leadership (e.g., Director and above). • 1+ year in a technical leadership role with or without direct reports (only applies to positions with direct reports). • D eveloped 1+ novel Machine Learning architecture(s). Principal Duties and Responsibilities: • Leverages advanced Machine Learning knowledge to extend training or runtime frameworks or model efficiency software tools with new features and optimizations. • Models, architects, and develops highly advanced machine learning hardware (co-designed with machine learning software) for inference or training solutions. • Develops critical 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 hardware teams for joint design and development. • Leads 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 novel machine learning solutions aligned with and motivated by proposals or roadmaps for complex products and system-level features. • Oversees and provides technical expertise to others conducting experiments to train and evaluate machine learning solutions. Level of Responsibility: • Works independently with minimal supervision. • Provides supervision/guidance to other team members. • Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group. • Requires verbal and written
