General Summary:

Qualcomm is a key enabler for the XR eco-system with a dominant market share. We build custom So Cs and technologies that are at the heart of existing and emerging XR products. Qualcomm XR Systems organization is responsible for architecture definition of Qualcomm’s next generation XR So Cs. Our portfolio of SoC offerings serve a broad range of XR products covering Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality and AI Glass product families. The span of technologies that go into these products and So Cs include high resolution immersive displays, perception features that are bulit on computer vision and deep learning technology, highly efficient DSP processors, dedicated deep learning accelerators, graphics engines supporting high resolution and high frame rate rendering and reprojection, multimedia processing engines (audio, video, imaging,..), CPUs and SoC infrastructure that ensures efficient and secure processing, as well as very low power architecture features such as power islands and power rail isolation, sleep modes etc.

We are scaling up our operations!! We are looking for engineers with background in diverse areas including architecture and micro architecture definition, design and verification of IPs and So Cs. People who have experience in areas such as SoC architecture, networks on chip, virtual memory, on-chip and off-chip memory subsystems, security architecture, CPUs, etc, also development of IPs such as camera, video, GPU, DSPs, deep learning accelerators and neural signal processors (NSP), peripherals and interfaces such as PICe, SPI etc. Also, people with strong background on pre silicon and post silicon power estimation and optimization, performance estimation, power architecture design will be highly encouraged. We have openings at senior as well as junior job levels.

We are keenly interested in you if you are someone who has gained expertise in your specific domain which could be one or more of the areas mentioned above and are excited to take the next step in your career to become architects of the So Cs that will shape the future generations of XR products!! Apart from a rewarding career and growth prospects, the organization offers a unique opportunity to learn from a diverse set of experts working collaboratively under the same roof, towards a common goal.
