Engineer, senior - Machine Learning Engineer

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 Systems Engineer, you will research, design, develop, simulate, and/or validate systems-level software, hardware, architecture, algorithms, and solutions that enables the development of cutting-edge technology. Qualcomm Systems Engineers collaborate across functional teams to meet and exceed system-level requirements and standards.

Minimum Qualifications:

Qualcomm Global SoC Machine Learning Research team in Bangalore is actively seeking candidates for positions for developing AI/ML based EDA solutions for SoC applications. These solutions will help Qualcomm create chips that deliver the best power, performance and area, while minimizing compute and designer effort. The ideal candidate has a MS or PhD in EE/ECE/CS, and 2-10 years of experience in building EDA tools and/or applying AI/ML techniques to complex optimization problems. Familiarity with optimization algorithms for VLSI problems such as placement, routing, timing analysis and power optimization is a strong plus. The most important attributes for this role are strong inter-personal and communication skills, ability to work with a global team, a positive attitude and intellectual curiosity.

Description:

• Work with internal customers to understand the SoC design problem and translate into specification of software, algorithms and AI/ML models that need to be built
• Design and develop high-performance optimization algorithms and AI/ML solutions
• Test and deploy software implementations of these solutions, and incorporate customer feedback into improving the solutions

Skills:

• SW engineering, UNIX, Python, C/C++, git, docker
• Graph algorithms, combinatorial algorithms, optimization
• SOC domain and AI/ML background are a strong plus

Level of Responsibility:

• Works independently with minimal supervision.
• Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
• Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group.
• Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require 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 do not have defined steps; planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
