XR Systems & Software Architect XR Research Staff

Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Software Engineering General Summary: Qualcomm XR Research India is rapidly expanding to offer state of the art XR solutions. To scale and strengthen our offering in this domain, we are seeking a systems architect who will drive the next-generation technologies and architecture, shaping the future of Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) use cases. Responsibilities: Your responsibilities will span across technical leadership, system architecture, software architecture, implementation and compute analysis. Here are the key aspects of your role: Drive technical workstreams related to perception, reprojection, split-processing and other XR technologies. Identify and deeply understand the use cases for AR/VR/MR applications. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate use case requirements into detailed implementation specifications. Define system and software architecture, considering hardware/software tradeoffs, compute and memory constraints. Optimize compute workload distribution across different subsystems on the SoC for efficient performance and power. Validate and optimize architecture definitions through system-level use case modeling. Prototype new use cases to understand the compute and memory requirements, and influence future software/hardware features and reference device specification. Minimum Qualifications: 9+ years of experience in systems engineering with a bachelors degree in electrical engineering, information systems, computer science, or related field. Hands-on experience in defining systems architecture and software design for multi-core architectures (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, etc.), including performance analysis on heterogeneous architectures (core, multi-level cache, memory, etc.). Proficiency in documenting call flows and data flows for both software and hardware components. Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team. Preferred Qualifications: 8+ years of experience in systems engineering with masters and/or PhD degree in electrical engineering, information systems, computer science. Proven expertise in AR/VR, computer vision, machine learning, perception, camera technology, graphics pipeline, hardware design, SoC architecture, HW/SW partitioning, and system modeling (power, performance). Proficiency in C++, and Object-Oriented SW design Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 2+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
